Steel Look Windows in Oxford – Case Study
This installation of steel look windows in Oxford demonstrates how the Alitherm Heritage system provides slim, elegant sightlines while remaining sympathetic to the original architecture.
Completed in May 2025, this project involved 18 windows and several sets of Heritage-style aluminium door sets, professionally surveyed and expertly installed.
Heritage Aluminium Windows in Oxford – by Fenestration Network
The homeowners of this contemporary Oxfordshire property wanted to replace their original windows with a slimmer aluminium alternative without losing the character of the house and the style of the original windows fitted with the house was built.
To the front, we manufactured and installed four sets of five-module windows. Each unit features a side-hung casement on either side with fixed panes to the central modules. The design replicates the original layout but with a slimmer frame profile, improved efficiency, and a modern white powder-coated finish.
At first-floor level, the same design was repeated, this time with easy-clean and fire-escape hinges for compliance with Building Regulations. A smaller additional window, also with a single horizontal glazing bar, was fitted to maintain visual balance.
The side elevations and rear of the home were completed with further Heritage-style windows in varying designs, again reflecting the appearance of the originals but in a more contemporary black finish.
All windows feature:
· 25mm horizontal glazing bars for a steel-inspired look
· Trickle ventilators to the head for Part F compliance
· 28mm insulated glass units with safety glass where required
· Colour-matched aluminium cills for a neat installation
Steel Look Heritage Doors
In addition to the numerous steel look windows in this Oxfordshire home, are the heritage aluminium doors to the rear extension. Our Alitherm Heritage aluminium doors are installed, configured as both single and double doors. Each set has glazed toplights above the doors, whilst always maintaining consistent transom sightlines across the elevation.
With standard 34mm transoms, high-security multipoint locking, and matching colour handles and hinges, these doors offer strength, durability, and architectural detail. The use of high-performance safety glass ensures both safety and compliance.
Our steel look doors replicate the proportions and style of traditional metal doors while offering shorter lead times, greater energy efficiency, and a more cost-effective solution. Doors are glazed with toughened safety glass, having a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars and argon gas fill.

This project was completed as part of a full refurbishment programme. Our professional survey, close liaison with the homeowner, and expert fitting team ensured a smooth process and an installation that perfectly combined modern aluminium performance with the timeless appeal of steel-inspired design.
The finished result is a property that retains its original charm from the front while enjoying a bold, contemporary appearance at the rear.
