Why people choose aluminium steel-look

For most homes, steel-look aluminium gives the look people want at a price that works. The frames are a few millimetres deeper than solid steel, which few visitors would notice. Solid steel still wins on the very slimmest sightlines and for heritage work where authenticity matters, and we quote both so you can compare.
