Aluminium supply for the trade working in Chester
Chester carries a particular mix of work. High-spec rear extensions and full remodels sit on the larger plots. They run from the city out to the villages towards the river. Period and conservation-area properties sit inside the walls. So do the older terraces. Commercial fit-outs run steadily across the retail core and the business parks. Add the professional offices near the racecourse. Each job asks something different from aluminium. We fabricate to suit the brief, not a single house style.
We work to drawings. A builder or installer sends sizes, elevations and the finish schedule. We confirm the right system for the opening. That covers glazing weights and thermal target. Then we fabricate and supply the finished units. You manage the survey, the install and the client. We stay on the supply side. No channel conflict on your own contracts. A clear line back to us if anything needs checking.
Everything ships from our unit in Haydock. It's a straightforward motorway run into Chester. Delivery into the area plans around your programme. So does collection from us.
Heritage-look aluminium for period and conservation properties
A lot of the residential work around Chester sits in conservation areas. Period frontages need the glazing to read right. We fabricate slim, steel-look aluminium for exactly this. The sections are thermally broken. They hold fine sightlines and still meet modern performance. It suits steel-look replacements and internal steel-look screens. Doors divide a kitchen or hallway without closing it off. And replacement casements where the original look matters.
Where a property needs a contemporary intervention behind a traditional front, the heritage range pairs cleanly with our wider window and door range so the back of the house can open up while the street elevation stays sympathetic. Tell us the constraints on the job and we will specify accordingly.
- Steel-look internal doors and screens for room division and glazed partitions
- Slim heritage casements and replacement windows for period elevations
- Thermally broken sections that meet current performance without a heavy frame
Big glass and slim sightlines for high-end residential
The brief is usually maximum glass and minimum frame. That's the larger Chester plots and the open-plan extensions. We fabricate aluminium bifold and sliding doors. They're built around big panes and low U-values. Finishes are specified to match the rest of the project. Need a single large pane to read as a wall of glass? The sliding route carries the weight. Need the opening to fold fully away? The bifold route does it.
Across the range we can specify thermally broken aluminium with low whole-unit figures where the system and glazing allow, bifold Uw from 0.9 and sliding from 1.0 where specified, with the achievable figure confirmed per finished unit at quote. Acoustic and security routes, including PAS 24, are available where the project calls for them.
- Aluminium bifold doors for openings that need to fold fully clear
- Sliding and patio doors for large fixed panes and slim interliner sightlines
- Casement and tilt-and-turn windows specified to match the glazing line
Commercial curtain walling and shopfronts
Chester's commercial work asks a lot of aluminium. It has to perform and look right at scale. That's shop and restaurant fit-outs in the centre. And offices and units on the surrounding parks. We fabricate curtain walling, commercial entrance doors and shopfront screens. We supply shopfitters, main contractors and specifiers in and around the city.
Curtain walling is supplied to BS EN 13830 and commercial doors go to BS EN 14351-1. Both U-values are confirmed at quote. We support UKCA marking and Declaration of Performance. That's where the project requires it. We fabricate to recognised standards throughout. See our curtain walling page for the commercial detail.

No. VitrineAlu fabricates and supplies aluminium to the trade only. Installers, builders and contractors handle survey and installation. If you are a homeowner, we will refer you to a vetted local installer via our find-an-installer page.

Yes. We fabricate slim, steel-look thermally broken aluminium for period and conservation work, including internal screens, steel-look doors and heritage casements, specified to suit the elevation and the constraints on the job.

Yes. We fabricate curtain walling to BS EN 13830, commercial entrance doors to BS EN 14351-1 and shopfront screens for contractors, shopfitters and specifiers, with UKCA and Declaration of Performance support where the project requires it.
