Replacement Joinery
Replacement aluminium joinery (also called aluminium inserts) fits into your existing timber window frames, adding not only great aesthetics but better security. This is a positive and cost-effective way to double glaze your home and gain all the benefits of a clean aluminium look and low maintenance. Finer Aluminium can install replacement aluminium inserts into your home, adding value to your most important asset and comfort to your lifestyle.
Glass Options
More than just something to look through. The range of glass options available allows you to match a glass that will function to your requirements.
Types of Glass
The type of glass or treatment on the glass will result in big differences to the way your windows function. To reduce fading, use tinted or reflective glass. To control heat-loss or heat-gain, use low-E glass. To add more security or reduce noise, use laminated glass.
Double Glazing
Double-glazing consists of 2 pieces of glass separated by an air space or argon gas. There are many advantages of double glazing over traditional single pane glazing such as increased insulation and security as well as reducing condensation and noise. Double glazing can also use modern technologies like low-E coatings, argon filled and laminated glass to further enhance performance.
Retrofit Double Glazing
Finer Aluminium provides a comprehensive double-glazing service, not only when building for a new home but also when retrofitting to the Vantage suite. As well as the Vantage suite, we can also retrofit to most aluminium windows.
Colours
Choosing a colour for your windows and doors requires careful thought to enhance the overall appearance of your home. Colour selection may be influenced by your home’s cladding and interior colour schemes. The window colour may complement the cladding colour, with tones a few shades up or down, or contrasting joinery colours may be popular, especially darker natural tones and silver.
Powdercoating
Powdercoating is the most popular surface finish and offers a huge range of colour options that cater for buildings in all locations. Our popular colour range includes 35 colours that are also available to colour-match your hardware to the joinery.
Note: when you are choosing your aluminium joinery colour, always assess the colour in natural light using an aluminium colour swatch.

® Dulux, Duralloy, Duratec and Metropolis are registered trade marks of Dulux Powder and Industrial Coatings. We use Dulux Powder and Industrial Coatings.
Anodising
Anodising is a durable and colourfast technology that offers an alternative to powdercoating. Anodising is a popular choice for architectural projects with the matt 'frost' finish as standard though traditional anodising is also available.
Anodising creates a dynamic finish as the brightness of the colour changes depending on the angle you're viewing it from. Some variability of colour can occur and is part of the anodising process. There are six colours available in the anodised finish.
Note: when you are choosing your aluminium joinery colour, always assess the colour in natural light using an aluminium colour swatch. We are able to provide you with the colour swatch samples upon request.
Mannex Entrance Door Colours
Our low sheen entrance door surface finish is developed specifically to endure the knocks and scuffs typical in high traffic entranceways.
The Mannex powdercoat finish has a slightly different look to the powdercoating on your aluminium joinery. Contact your local manufacturer to see a sample of the finish.
All of our doors are available in dual colour, with the exception of the Slimline Plasma and Aquila. This means you can match the look of your internal and external colour schemes, rather than having to pick one look for both sides of your door.
Dark colours may not be suitable for doors that are exposed to prolonged direct sunlight as this may cause the colour to fade, so careful consideration needs to be made when choosing your entrance door colour/s.
