Leading
windows and doors manufacturer, Black Millwork has announced the release of a
new range of aluminium windows in a move that reaffirms the company’s
commitment to an ever-growing product offering.
In recent
years, many residential projects are based around more contemporary designs.
This has led to an increased demand for windows and doors with slim profiles,
which don’t clutter a home’s aesthetic.
Aluminium
windows allow the company to satisfy this demand, as the material can be
manufactured into incredibly thin profiles.
Likewise, the company launched its popular
aluminium door range in 2014 and the company is now completing this aluminium
offering with a complementary window range.
It was
this influx of demand for the slim profiles that influenced Black Millwork to
start producing aluminium windows.
The latest
range in the company’s portfolio has already been specified on a major
redevelopment in London, comprising of six blocks of flats, each housing
several hundred tenants. The new windows mean the company can now offer a much
wider selection of solutions that cater for different aesthetic tastes and
architectural styles.
One of the
big advantages of aluminium as a building material is its durability when
compared to other products. Unlike other materials, aluminium will not swell,
crack, split or warp over time; ensuring an extended product life.
Additionally, because of its inherent strength and flexibility, aluminium
windows can be manufactured to exact specifications. This allows for increased
design flexibility, meaning homeowners need not compromise on aesthetic goals.
The new
range allows Black Millwork to recreate the look of steel-framed windows, which
are popular across historic buildings in Britain.
The
company’s new range is perfect for imitating this style but have the added
benefit of the high performance values of modern aluminium. This allows
self-builders and developers to raise performance standards whilst retaining
the existing aesthetic of a building, eradicating the need to totally overhaul
a project’s window design.
Speaking
on the latest additions, General Manager at Black Millwork, Gary Hutton
commented: “We’re delighted to be able to announce the release of our new
aluminium windows. This is a move that will open up a whole new section of the
market for us.
"We
want to assist developers and self-builders in creating the projects of their
dreams and as such it’s essential we make our offering as comprehensive as
possible. Anybody looking to embark on a build can now be assured Black
Millwork has everything they need.”
As well as
being extremely durable, aluminium is one of the most sustainable products
available on the market.
As the
world’s third most abundant element the material can be sourced responsibly
without concerns of over mining.
Aluminium
is 100% recyclable, with the process to recycle it requiring just 5% of the
initial energy consumed to create it. It’s estimated that 75% of all aluminium
ever produced is still in use today, testament to both its durability and
ability to be infinitely recycled.
