Aluminium Windows in Egham

Inspired Glazing makes and fits aluminium windows for homes in Egham, using frames fabricated in our own Fifield workshop and fitted by our own installers. Egham is roughly seven miles from the workshop, around a twenty to twenty-five minute drive through Windsor and Old Windsor, and well within our regular working area.

Egham’s homes, from the High Street to the Hythe

Egham packs a lot of history into a small area. The High Street and the roads around it hold Georgian and Victorian buildings; Egham Hythe, beside the Thames, has terraced cottages and later infill; Englefield Green, up the hill near Royal Holloway, has large Victorian and Edwardian houses set around its green; and Thorpe keeps the feel of an old village. Between them are interwar semis, post-war estates and a growing number of flats and student houses.

Landlords letting rooms to Royal Holloway students often want windows that are robust, easy to clean and simple to operate, so tilt and turn sashes with restrictors are a common choice in those properties. Family homes, on the other hand, usually prioritise large glazed areas at the back, where the garden and the light matter most.

Aluminium suits Egham’s period houses because the frame stays slim, so tall Victorian openings keep their proportions. It suits newer homes too, because a powder-coated finish in grey or black gives a clean, modern look that needs very little upkeep.

Conservation areas in Runnymede

Runnymede Borough Council has conservation areas covering Egham, Egham Hythe, Englefield Green and Thorpe, among others. If you live inside one, or your house is listed, check with Runnymede Borough Council before changing window materials, colours or glazing patterns. Surrey’s councils are also being reorganised: from 1 April 2027 Runnymede is due to become part of a new West Surrey unitary council, so the planning contact may change. Flats in Egham, including many near the station and town centre, have no householder permitted development rights. See our replacement windows planning guide for more.

Heritage-friendly options

For older homes we often suggest flush casement windows or the slim-sightline Reynaers SL68 system, which carries a manufacturer-quoted U-value of 1.1 W/m²K. Crittall-style steel-look aluminium windows suit 1930s houses that may once have had metal frames. Cortizo and Alunet systems are available as alternatives, and Reynaers also offers a burglar-resistant SlimLine 68 with PAS 24 approval.

Flight paths, the M25 and the river

Egham sits a few miles west of Heathrow, with the M25 passing between the town and Staines at junction 13. Aircraft noise and a constant motorway hum are part of daily life for many residents, which is why acoustic laminated glazing is one of the most useful upgrades here. Reynaers states SlimLine 68 can reach 47 dB of sound reduction; our noise reduction page compares acoustic double and triple glazing.

Egham Hythe and the streets nearest the Thames lie in the floodplain and were badly affected by the floods of early 2014, so for back and patio doors we plan threshold and drainage details with extra care.

Doors for Egham homes

Larger gardens in Englefield Green and Thorpe suit Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 sliding doors, while smaller terraces often benefit from a compact set of Smart Visofold or Cortizo bifolds. Aluminium front doors, built with multi-point locking and finished to match your windows, and Crittall-style internal doors for open-plan rooms complete the picture; our aluminium windows and doors overview lists every product.

Aluminium, uPVC and other options

If cost matters more to you than sightlines, our uPVC windows and doors in Egham page covers the Selecta Advance 70 range, and this comparison explains the differences between the two materials. For garden rooms see Egham conservatories, and for a broader overview visit double glazing in Egham or the Surrey windows and doors hub.

How an Egham installation runs

After an initial chat, we survey the property, confirm the planning position with you, and agree a final specification for frames, colour and glass. Each window is then built at Fifield to the measured sizes, and our own fitters install them, making good the reveals and sealing every joint. Most Egham houses are finished within a couple of days, and we come back if anything needs adjusting, which is simple when the workshop is only a short drive away.

Areas we cover around Egham

Frequently asked questions

Do conservation areas in Egham restrict aluminium windows?

They can. Runnymede has conservation areas covering Egham, Egham Hythe, Englefield Green and Thorpe, and changes to window style, colour or material there may need consent. Slim heritage profiles usually sit well on older buildings, but check with Runnymede Borough Council first. From April 2027 the new West Surrey council is due to take over planning.

Will aluminium windows reduce Heathrow and M25 noise in Egham?

Good acoustic glazing makes a real difference. Laminated acoustic glass with panes of different thicknesses tackles both aircraft and motorway noise, and Reynaers rates SlimLine 68 at up to 47 dB of sound reduction. For bedrooms facing the M25 or under busy flight paths, we often suggest acoustic double glazing or triple glazing.

Which windows suit a Victorian house in Englefield Green?

Tall Victorian openings look best with slim frames that keep the original proportions. Flush casements or heritage-profile Reynaers SL68 windows in a soft colour work well, and Crittall-style steel-look aluminium suits later Arts and Crafts or 1930s houses. If your house is in the Englefield Green conservation area, check with the council before choosing.

How long does it take to reach Egham from your workshop?

Our Fifield workshop is about seven miles from Egham, usually a twenty to twenty-five minute drive through Windsor and Old Windsor. That is comfortably within our regular area, so surveys, fitting and any later adjustments are easy to arrange, and the same team handles every stage from fabrication to installation.

Is aluminium a good choice for a home near the Thames in Egham Hythe?

Yes. Aluminium does not rot or swell, and powder-coated frames cope well with damp riverside air. For homes in the floodplain we pay particular attention to door thresholds and drainage when planning sliding or bifold doors. We also advise checking any flood-related guidance from your insurer before changing ground-floor openings.
