Aluminium in the UK Winter: Built to Last Against Frost, Rain & Wind

It’s no secret how harsh British winters are, and this one seems worse than ever. From heavy rain and high winds to sub-zero temperatures, your home’s façade is being tested constantly. If your frames are ageing or becoming difficult to maintain, winter will attack any weaknesses relentlessly.

This is why more homeowners are opting for upgrades, enlisting the help of Endurance Aluminium. Designed to be strong, weather-resistant, and to keep your home comfortable in all seasons, we offer all-in-one solutions you and your home need.

Low Maintenance Windows & Doors

One of the biggest advantages, and perhaps the most undervalued, is how easy aluminium is to live with. Unlike timber doors and windows, ours won’t swell, rot or crack when exposed to damp conditions or the freezing cold. Aluminium windows and doors are incredibly low maintenance, meaning our products won’t fade or peel, owing to the powder-coated finishes baked onto all our products.

This means that, during the winter months especially, you’ll benefit from handles that don’t stiffen and frames that don’t swell after heavy rainfall. You’ll see no flaking paint or surface damage from the frost, and you won’t need to spend precious time sanding, repainting or sealing a faulty door.

From the moment of installation, your Endurance Aluminium doors and windows start working for you – keeping your home warm and secure without any irritating hitches.

Quick Guide to Occasional Cleaning

When the time does come to look after your aluminium frames, it couldn’t be any simpler. A quick clean a couple of times a year is all it takes to keep them going.

For frames and handles, we recommend you wipe them down every few months with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided to protect the powder coating on the door.

Glazing will likely get dirtier than the frames. For any glazing units, we suggest you use standard glass cleaners and a lint-free cloth to keep them looking their best. If you live in coastal areas, you might need to clean them on a more regular basis.

Any hinges or locks should be lightly lubricated every 12-24 months to help them operate smoothly. If anything on your doors or windows feels loose or if you have any concerns about their performance, reach out to our team for some expert advice.
