Alitherm Heritage
Perfect for Both Contemporary and Traditional Installs
Alitherm Heritage has been designed to offer a modern solution for heritage and renovations applications where the requirement to replace old steel crittal windows is essential. It provides the ideal solution for listed building renovations and large scale replica-refurbishment projects where planning constraints are to be considered.
The slim slender profile means the Alitherm Heritage system is also the perfect solution for contemporary properties. Installed both internally and externally, the windows and doors are designed to be built as a series of horizontal modules which can be stacked using horizontal couplers to form a multi-part window featuring a specially designed drip bar between modules.
Alitherm profiles utilise Smarts’ innovative polyamide thermal break technology which creates a barrier between the cold air outside and the warm air inside. This technology significantly reduces thermal transmittance and enhances the overall U Value of a product and is designed to meet the exacting requirements of Document L.

A wide range of benefits
Alitherm Heritage provides a modern light-weight, high-strength and cost-effective alternative to traditional steel window and door systems, offering a wide range of benefits including:
Increased Lifespan
Because aluminium does not rust or rot, window frames provide great longevity and can last indefinitely. This also means that the aluminium windows have the longest lifespan of any window framing material, with typical replacement periods of 40 years – compared to a typical 35 year
replacement period for steel, PVC and timber.
Reduced Maintenance
Maintenance for aluminium systems is simple and straightforward, with a routine ‘wipe-clean’ all that is required to keep the products looking their best.
With no requirement for re-painting or re-varnishing, aluminium windows and doors will never fade, deteriorate or rust, even in harsh environments, such as coastal locations, where steel windows can be particularly prone to rust, requiring regular maintenance and eventually, replacement.
Widely installed in both new and refurbished commercial properties, Alitherm Heritage aluminium windows and doors are equally perfect for residential homes too.
Improved Thermal Efficiency
Modern aluminium windows are thermally-broken using polyamide, an excellent insulator which helps to insulate windows against heat loss.
The thermal conductivity of polyamide is 160 times better than steel, which for a typical terraced house would provide a saving of around £95 each year in fuel costs.
In addition to these energy savings, the polyamide also raises the internal temperature of a house, helping to reduce the risk of condensation.

Steve and Jenny Welsh
We received a text, within the period advised by the surveyor, asking us when would be a convenient time for the installation.
On the day of the installation the first fitter arrived early in the morning and started removing the old windows and doors. Soon after a second van arrived with the replacement doors and windows and installation commenced. The men worked non stop and completed mid-afternoon. The surrounds of doors and windows were repaired where necessary. The old fittings were removed and all the rubbish swept up and cleared away.
We were shown how the locks and the internal blinds worked.
Overall we are very satisfied with the new doors and windows and the workmanship of the fitters. We would certainly recommend Ruislip Windows and Doors Ltd to anyone.
