With our putty line aluminium steel replacement window range we have 3 product options.
All of these products are designed with a 45 degree chamferred profile, to replicate an original putty line detail.
Firstly, the Royale Putty-line window, which is one of the slimmest thermally broken windows on the market at just 33mm, with krypton gas filled units and is B-rated.
Secondly, we have the heritage putty line and thirdly, the Beaufort putty line windows which both have a 58mm depth and are B-rated, although the Beaufort putty line can also be A-rated.

All of our 3 aluminium putty line steel replacement window options have a 45 degree chamferred profile to replicate an original putty line steel window. Our putty line steel replacement windows can have putty line astragal bars to replace either an art deco style with just horizontal bars or a georgian bar matrix, or of course no astragal bars for the plain look or even lead lights.
All of these products have slim sight lines and are highly secure.
There is a large range of handle options including our authentic classic inline art deco handles and also one of our favourites, the flush chelton handle, both shown in gallery above.
We can advise you to help decide which of our 3 putty line product options to choose, by showing you proper window samples for each option.
There are a number of factors to consider, eg whether you have timber subframes or if your windows are fitted direct to brick.

The sliding doors are looking good. The guys were all really polite and friendly particularly to my very curious 3 year old son who was loving all the drills and gadgets. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company. You have always been honest and prompt in replying to our questions which sadly, is a bit of a rarity these days and not something to be overlooked. Kindest Regards to you & your fitters,

As an absentee landlord I very much appreciated hearing from the tenant at my flat, of the care taken with their technical equipment by the team at YouChoose. We found them to be tidy, professional and swift technicians. Thank you for a job well done. I am delighted with the result.

A massive thank you to your colleagues who came to fit the windows at our flat. They are looking fantastic (the windows that is). The guys were brilliant. Punctual, efficient, helpful, full of tips and suggestions, easy to have around the place, cleaned up and said nice things about the tea I made. All in all, couldn’t have been better.
PAUL B, LONDONChoosing new aluminium putty line steel replacement windows can be a tricky task so we have put together some popular FAQ, which you may find helpful
This will depend on the profile of your original windows and of course your own personal preference. Please call to discuss.
You can keep them, if they are in good shape and we can install our putty line windows within the timber subframes. The Royale putty line is best suited to this application.
You do not have to from a design point of view, but there may be a planning constraint, for example if you are in a conservation area. You could also consider georgian bars at the front and plain at the back.
We can usually match the design of your old steel windows depending on how big the openers are. Our slim sight lines mean that they can be a very close match.
A thermal break is a non-conducting material (polyamide) that separates the inside from the outside of the frame. This improves the thermal characteristics of the window, compared to both an original steel window and a replacement double glazed steel window.
Aluminium windows are strong and can match the steel windows sight lines compared to say a pvc-u window which is much chunkier. They are much more thermally efficient than steel as they have a thermal break made from polyamide. They are also less expensive.
All things being equal they will have less condensation than steel windows, but condensation is caused by the relationship between temperature and relative humidity, so it is still possible to get some condensation depending on what happens inside your property. There are actions you can take to minimise condensation, which we can advise upon.
Our aluminium putty line replacement steel windows come with shootbolt locking and key locking handles and many other security features as standard, so are very secure.
We now specialise in installing windows without the need for scaffolding in blocks of flats. We have a safe methodology to do this, which has been approved by our safety consultant.
Firstly, we will be installing new double glazed casement windows that are no longer drafty, which is going to make a huge improvement. Secondly, if not using our Royale window, you can consider installing 6.4mm or 6.8mm stadip laminate acoustic glass on one of the two panes of glass, the other being 4mm. This will improve the acoustic impedance by a further 10% to 15%.
We can reproduce your horizontal bars using putty line astragal bars which consist of duplex bars in between the glass and plant on bars on the inside of the inside pane and the outside of the outside pane. They create the illusion of separate panes, but in reality they are not!
We recommend going out or being away while we are installing your new putty line windows so that we can keep disruption to a minimum. We will make good any damage to plaster work up to decorating standard.
You will need to check with the local planners, which we can help with but the chances are likely that it will be allowed, depending on your product choice, which we can assist with.
