The end of the year is creeping up on us, so naturally thoughts turn to the new year. New Year’s resolutions, new business plans, and ultimately, new strategies for winning work through excellent craftsmanship. One of the best ways to enhance your projects is by upgrading to aluminium trims. So step up your game and enjoy all the benefits of working with aluminium window trims this new year.
1. Superior Resistance to Corrosion and Weathering
When you’ve invested time in installing new windows or doors, it’s essential that the trim remains in excellent condition. Aluminium trims offer outstanding resistance to corrosion thanks to the protective layer of aluminium oxide that forms when exposed to air. Unlike wood, which can crack, split, or warp over time, aluminium window trims remain durable and long-lasting.
Top tip: Add an additional layer of protection to your trim by having it powder coated. Our aluminium trims come powder coated as standard.
2. Find the Perfect Match for any Window or Door.
With our trim spraying service, we can perfectly match your aluminium trim to any window or door unit. Got a set of blue windows or an orange bi-fold? Don’t stress, we can match the RAL or BS colour in our regular 5m lengths. Plus, we maintain high stocks of matt black, anthracite grey, and gloss white aluminium window trims to match the most popular glazing units, such as Origin and Korniche.
3. Perfectly Lightweight.
Aluminium is one of the lightest commercially available materials. So, our 2mm and 3.5mm thick aluminium trims, available in 25, 31, and 50mm widths, are not only elegant and sleek, but also easy to transport and handle.
Did you know? Lighter building materials reduce the carbon footprint of a build as they require less fuel for transport.
4. Simple Installation Process.
All of our aluminium trims feature a ridged underside to make installation easier. This ridge helps to improve grip between the trim and the surface you are attaching it to. The ridge is particularly helpful when installing trims to a vertical surface, such as along the side of an external door. While aluminium is a tough and resilient metal, it is also malleable, allowing you to curve the trim along the side of bay windows for the perfect finish.
5. 100% Recyclable Material.
Looking towards 2025, sustainability is becoming more important for the construction sector. With large waste outputs from demolitions and renovations, it is important to recycle expired materials where possible. Aluminium is highly recyclable making it a sustainable material to include in your builds. Not only does it have fantastic longevity as it is resistant to weathering, but at the end of its lifecycle the aluminium window trim can be responsibly recycled for further use.
Final thoughts:
Aluminium trims are an easy way to step up your next glazing project. With a sleek and modern finish, they are sure to wow your customer.
Our aluminium trims are powder-coated as standard in either matt black (RAL9005), anthracite grey (RAL7016), and gloss white (RAL9910) to match the most popular glazing units. Plus, the powder coating provides an additional layer of protection to the trim ensuring it looks great for years to come. Our aluminium window trims are supplied in 5m lengths as standard, and, because we keep our stock levels high, these trims can be delivered to your site in the South East the next day.
