At SM Windows & Doors, we supply and install heritage aluminium windows and doors in York and throughout North Yorkshire, blending the look of classic steel-framed glazing with the comfort and security of modern materials. York is full of period terraces, Victorian villas and conservation-area homes, and heritage aluminium lets you keep that character while quietly upgrading how the house performs.
The frames are designed to echo old steel windows, with slim sightlines and fine glazing bars that suit older properties in areas like Fulford, Bishopthorpe and Clifton. From the street the look stays true to the period. Behind that traditional face you get warm double glazing, good draught-proofing and secure locking, so the house feels far cosier than the originals ever did.
Heritage style for York's period and conservation-area homes
If your home sits in a conservation area or has a listed-style frontage, it is always worth checking the current rules with City of York Council before you change the windows, as guidance can vary from street to street. Once you know where you stand, heritage aluminium is a lovely way to stay sympathetic to the original design. Here is what we offer:
- Heritage aluminium windows with slim, traditional-style glazing bars
- Heritage doors, including French and single door options
- Steel-look slim profiles to suit period and character properties
- A wide range of colours and finishes, including classic black and bespoke RAL colours
- High-performance double glazing for warmth and comfort
- Secure multi-point locking for everyday reassurance
Authentic looks, modern comfort
Every window and door is made to measure and fitted by our own team, so you get an authentic finish and a tidy job from start to end. We take care around older brickwork and reveals, which matters on the sort of Victorian and Edwardian homes you find across York, Haxby, Acomb and Tadcaster. Little details like the depth of the frame, the colour of the fittings and the pattern of the glazing bars all add up, and we are happy to guide you through them so the finished result feels right for the age of your home.
Heritage frames sit happily alongside our contemporary aluminium windows in York if you want a different look at the back of the house, and they pair well with slimline aluminium sliding and bi-fold doors for a rear extension. We cover York and the wider area, including Poppleton, Strensall, Wetherby, Selby and Easingwold.
