Thermally broken aluminium curtain walling for commercial facades, entrances and large glazed screens.
We fabricate aluminium systems to recognised product standards and specify the route per project at quote, based on the opening, drawings, performance target, glass and finish.
Lead time confirmed at quote, never a guess. Pricing per project, never a stock figure.

Design tool
Set the size, opening, glazing, finish and detailing on a to-scale drawing, check it is buildable against the aluminium curtain walling system limits and view it in true 3D, then send the exact spec straight to your quote.

VitrineAlu capability
Public values are stated as achievable capability, then confirmed against the selected project specification at quote.
The visible choice stays product-led while the final aluminium product route is selected to suit the opening, glass and finish requirement.
Trade buyers, specifiers, builders and joiners can send the practical details needed for specification. Homeowner requests are referral-only, with consent before details are passed to suitable installers.
How we specify
Exact specification (U-value, sizes, weights, security class, finish) is confirmed per project at quote, selected to suit the trade brief.
It means you lead with the outcome: light, security, clean sightlines, usable openings, buildable details and a specification that suits the drawings.
More on how routes are specified: security and PAS 24 routes and energy efficiency and U-values.
Aluminium curtain walling is tested and classified to BS EN 13830, the product standard for curtain wall kits. It covers air permeability, watertightness, wind resistance and impact. We supply UKCA marking and Declaration of Performance support, with PAS 24 and RC2 routes where specified, so the facade carries the right paperwork for building control. See our curtain walling page.
Stick curtain walling is cut and glazed on site from mullions, transoms and glass, which suits lower-rise and irregular elevations. That is the route we fabricate, thermally broken on a 66 mm sight line where specified. Unitised arrives as factory-glazed panels craned into place, used mainly on tall repetitive facades. Start a quote with your elevation drawings.
Facade units run up to 1.5 m by 3.6 m at up to 350 kg each where specified, spanning floor to floor on a slim 66 mm sight line. Achievable panel size depends on the glass make-up, wind load and bracket detailing. Send your elevations through quote and we will size the sections.
Yes. We size the mullions and transoms to your spans, wind loads and floor heights, then detail the brackets, movement joints and structural interface. Whole-facade Ucw runs from 0.6 W/m²K where specified, with drawings and performance data supplied in the package. Send elevations through quote and we will work up the sections for your building.
Curtain walling takes project-specified insulated glass units up to 58 mm, with solar control, acoustic glass and toughened or laminated panes where safety or security need it. Thermally broken framing holds whole-facade Ucw from 0.6 W/m²K where specified. Confirm the whole-unit value at quote. Read more on energy efficiency before you specify glass.
Proof, not promises
Paul Fradley, Director and Technical Lead, has worked almost every role in windows and doors across more than twenty years: surveyed, fabricated on the floor, fitted on site, then ran the technical and operations side. He leads the spec on every project, so what we quote is what we fabricate.
