Built in Haydock, supplied across the Fylde
We're a trade fabricator, not an installer. Our workshop is in Haydock, a straight run up the M6 and across to the coast. Getting finished aluminium into Lytham, St Annes or Ansdell is routine. You manage your own fit. We handle the specification, the fabrication and the supply. You collect from Haydock or take delivery into the area.
The Fylde has a particular mix of work. Period villas off Clifton Drive. Mansion flats along the front. Newer high-spec builds set back from the green. A steady run of premium commercial frontages through the town centres. That trade needs an aluminium partner who quotes accurately. One that builds to the figure on the drawing. That is what we do.
Coastal exposure handled properly
Open frontage on the Fylde means wind off the Irish Sea. It means driven rain and salt-laden air. The spec has to answer for it. Weather performance is part of the quote, not an afterthought. Where the elevation is exposed, we route the job differently. The system has to carry the weather ratings to suit. We confirm the achievable air, water and wind figures per finished unit at quote.
Finishes matter just as much on the coast. Polyester powder coat to a marine-grade specification stands up to salt exposure. It holds up far better than a standard finish. We'll talk you through the right coating before the order is placed. That covers any maintenance expectations for a seafront elevation. Get the finish right at order stage. The units stay looking right for the long term.
- Weather exposure ratings for air, water and wind, confirmed per unit at quote
- Marine-grade powder coat finishes for salt-exposed coastal elevations
- PAS 24 security routes and BS EN 14351-1 where the project calls for it
- Thermally broken aluminium throughout, low U-values where specified
The range the Fylde trade asks for
High-value coastal homes lean on big glass, slim sightlines and a sea view. So most of what we supply into the area is the glazing-led range. Bifolds and sliders open a rear elevation to the garden. Or the front to the prom. Casement and tilt-and-turn windows hold the heat in on an exposed plot. The commercial side covers the shopfronts and frontages through Lytham and St Annes town centres.
Glazing runs from 22mm to 58mm so we can carry the heavier acoustic and solar units a coastal or roadside elevation often needs, with acoustic performance to Rw 46 dB where specified and confirmed at quote. Send the opening and the performance target and we will specify the route that reaches it.
- Aluminium bifold doors with Uw from 0.9 where specified
- Aluminium sliding and patio doors with Uw from 1.0 for wide, low-threshold coastal openings
- Aluminium casement windows with Uw from 0.85 and tilt-and-turn for exposed plots
- Curtain walling, roof lanterns and commercial frontages
- Steel-look internal doors and screens, and heritage routes for period property
How we work with the trade
Open a trade account and the process is the same every time. Send us the drawings and sizes. We check the route and flag anything the elevation needs. You get back a quote and a lead time confirmed for that project. No guessed prices, no off-the-shelf timescales. Just figures we can stand behind. Pricing and lead times are confirmed per project at quote.
We support UKCA marking and Declaration of Performance. That covers jobs that need the paperwork in order. Our technical detail is set out in the trade guides. That includes the rundown on aluminium U-values. Read it before you commit to a route.
Homeowners on the Fylde
We supply the trade. We don't sell or fit directly to homeowners. A homeowner in Lytham, St Annes or Ansdell may want VitrineAlu aluminium installed. We point them to our find an installer route. It finds a vetted installer working in your area. You get our fabrication. It is fitted by someone who knows the local stock and the coastal conditions.
Common questions
Where is VitrineAlu based and do you deliver to Lytham St Annes?
We fabricate in Haydock, St Helens, Merseyside. Lytham St Annes, St Annes, Ansdell and the wider Fylde are firmly inside our supply area, so you can collect finished units from Haydock or take delivery into the area. Delivery is arranged per order.
Do you install aluminium on the Fylde coast?
No. VitrineAlu is a trade fabricator and supplier only. We build the units and supply installers, builders and contractors who manage their own fit. Homeowners are referred to a vetted local installer through our find an installer route.
How do you handle coastal weather exposure?
We route exposed seafront elevations to a system that carries the weather ratings to suit, and confirm the achievable air, water and wind figures per finished unit at quote. We also specify marine-grade powder coat finishes to stand up to salt-laden coastal air.
How do I open a trade account?
Apply through our trade account page. Once you are set up, send drawings and sizes and we will specify the route, quote and confirm a lead time for that project. Pricing and lead times are confirmed per project at quote.
What aluminium products do you supply into the area?
Bifold doors, sliding and patio doors, casement and tilt-and-turn windows, entrance doors, steel-look internal screens, commercial doors, shopfronts, curtain walling, roof lanterns and heritage routes. Send the sizes and the elevation they face and we will quote the route that suits the exposure.
