Reynaers Aluminium UK has reported a notable uplift in sales of its residential aluminium windows in the past 12 months. The company says this is due to homeowners looking to align windows with slimline aluminium doors in refurb projects.

With Reynaers’ high performance SlimLine 68 (SL 68) seeing a 12% increase in sales and SlimLine 38 (SL 38) achieving almost a 40% lift, the company believes this has been driven by a trend in homeowners looking to upgrade to a slimline architectural look, to replace PVC-window frames.

Available in a range of contemporary or heritage finishes, SL 68 and SL 38 window systems are ideal for a wide range of refurbishment projects and upgrades.

Terry Ledwith, head of sales for trade and retail at Reynaers Aluminium UK, said: “Our range of SL68 and SL38 aluminium windows has seen exceptionally strong growth, particularly given tough market conditions.

“This is a continuation of a trend that started during Covid when we saw a rise in homeowners opening up their homes to the outside using large scale, slim sightline doors.

“The quality of these windows – and the slimline aesthetic they deliver – make them an ideal choice to echo that stylish finish across the rest of the property.”

Designed to fit into a standard 68mm window frame, Reynaers’ SL 68 is a high-performance aluminium casement window that can achieve a U-value as low as 1.1 W/m2K.

Both SL 38 and SL 68 are available in double and triple glazing options up to 43mm thick, have Secured by Design accreditation and meet PAS24 standards.
