Built for high-spec Trafford projects
Altrincham, Hale and Bowdon carry demanding residential work. It's some of the most demanding in the North West. Large rear extensions land on the plots around Hale Barns. Glass-led remodels run in the Devisdale conservation area. Substantial new builds go up off Ashley Road. All of it pushes aluminium hard. The expectation is slim sightlines and big panes. Then a clean finish that holds up. And the energy numbers to match.
We fabricate to suit that brief. VitrineAlu works to the trade and never installs. The installer or main contractor keeps control of the programme. They keep the client relationship too. You get a finished unit made in Haydock. It's specified for the opening and ready to fit. That keeps responsibility clear on a high-value job.
The aluminium trade specifies most in this area
The bread and butter on Altrincham and Hale extensions tends to be wide glazing onto the garden, paired with windows that carry the same sightline and finish through the rest of the house. We supply the full range so a project reads as one consistent system.
- Aluminium bifold doors for open-plan kitchen extensions, with thermal performance from a Uw of 0.9 where specified. See our aluminium bifold doors.
- Slim-framed sliding and patio doors for large fixed views onto the garden, from a Uw of 1.0 where specified. See our aluminium sliding doors.
- Casement windows from a Uw of 0.85, and tilt-and-turn from a Uw of 0.71, both where specified, to keep the elevation consistent.
- Steel-look internal doors and screens for the open-plan layouts these clients ask for.
- Curtain walling, roof lanterns and flat rooflights where a remodel needs daylight from above.
Specification that holds up on premium work
On projects of this value the spec gets scrutinised. So we keep ours honest and documented. Glazing options run from 22mm to 58mm. Acoustic builds go to Rw 46 dB, confirmed at quote. That's for a road-facing elevation, or a flight path near Hale Barns. PAS 24 security routes are available. Everything is fabricated to BS EN 14351-1. Curtain walling goes to BS EN 13830.
We support UKCA marking and Declarations of Performance. The paperwork comes with the units. That's what your building control officer or specifier needs. Finishes suit the project. Contemporary work takes blacks and greys. The conservation pockets around Bowdon take heritage colours. Our guide to aluminium U-values sets out how the figures are reached.
