Authentic Steel-Look Profiles with Zero Maintenance

Durajoin Aluminium Windows and Doors heritage systems replicate those iconic, ultra-slim stepped sightlines using durable, high-grade extruded aluminium finished in marine-grade polyester powder coating (standard in Matt Black RAL 9005 or Anthracite Grey RAL 7016) that never peels, corrodes, or needs repainting.

Our heritage doors and windows feature heavy-duty multi-point shootbolt locking systems, high-tensile anti-tamper hinges, 3-star security euro cylinders, and internally beaded safety glazing certified to PAS 24 and Secured by Design standards to guard against forced entry.

FAQ About Heritage Glazing

Can you install heritage windows in a conservation area?

Installing heritage windows conservation area settings depends on your local planning authority’s specific restrictions and whether Article 4 directions apply to your street. Because our aluminium profiles replicate the sightlines, glazing bars, and proportions of original steel and period timber frames, they are frequently approved as suitable replacements. We supply full technical CAD drawings and profile sections to support your planning or conservation application.

Original single-glazed metal frames conduct cold directly into the house, causing drafts and pooling condensation. Our modern systems incorporate high-performance heritage double glazing with low-emissivity glass coatings, warm-edge spacer bars, and argon gas cavity infill. This keeps the interior pane warm and significantly cuts home heating bills.

Our heritage aluminium doors supply and fit service covers all Greater London postcodes as well as adjacent areas within the M25 perimeter. Whether you need single [heritage french doors] for a terrace renovation or a full package of [heritage windows and doors] for an architectural new build, our mobile surveying teams handle projects across North, South, East, and West London.

While standard bifold doors use plain, unadorned glass panes with wider outer stiles, heritage bifold doors feature applied or integral horizontal astragal bars, decorative lock-boxes, and slim stepped frame profiles to deliver an authentic industrial aesthetic without sacrificing smooth multi-leaf folding operation.

Astragal bars (glazing bars) are authentic aluminium grid profiles applied to both the internal and external faces of the double-glazed unit, paired with integral duplex spacer bars inside the glass cavity. This replicates the visual depth and shadow lines of individual historic glass panes while preserving the thermal integrity, airtightness, and structural strength of a modern, sealed double-glazed unit.

Despite their minimalist profile, our heritage French, patio, and bifold doors undergo rigorous testing to achieve PAS 24 security certification and comply with police-approved Secured by Design standards. The frames house heavy-duty multipoint shootbolt locking mechanisms, anti-tamper hinges, high-security 3-star euro cylinders, and internally beaded glass that prevents external pane removal.

Yes, we supply and fit internal heritage glass screens and French double doors. Because they serve as interior acoustic partitions rather than external weather barriers, they can be configured with ultra-low flush thresholds or top-hung concealed tracks with no floor obstruction, ensuring uninterrupted hardwood or tiled flooring between your hallway, home office, and kitchen.
