The Top Aluminium Window and Door Features for 2025

As we move further into 2025, homeowners are always looking for the latest innovations in top aluminium window and door features. These cutting-edge products are revolutionising the way we think about home design, energy efficiency, and security.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the most exciting developments in aluminium glazing technology, with a particular focus on Origin’s industry-leading products.

1. Enhanced Thermal Performance

One of the standout features of modern aluminium windows and doors is their exceptional thermal efficiency. As energy costs continue to rise, homeowners are prioritising products that can help reduce their bills and carbon footprint.

Advanced Thermal Break Technology

Origin’s innovative thermal break system creates a barrier between the interior and exterior aluminium profiles, significantly reducing heat transfer. This technology ensures your home stays warm in winter and cool in summer, potentially leading to substantial energy savings.

High-Performance Glazing Options

Double and triple glazing options with low-emissivity (low-E) coatings and argon gas-filled cavities further enhance the thermal properties of aluminium windows and doors. These advanced glazing solutions help to improve insulation, reduce condensation and limit noise transmission.

2. Sleek and Minimalist Design

 

 

The aesthetic appeal of aluminium doors and windows continues to be a major selling point, with manufacturers like Origin pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in terms of design.

Slim Sightlines

Aluminium’s strength allows for much slimmer frames compared to other materials, maximising glass area and natural light intake. Origin’s aluminium bi-fold doors, for example, feature some of the slimmest sightlines on the market, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Origin door systems are leading the field for industry innovation. Some features to expect include:

• Moving 90⁰ corner post bifolding doors
• OB36 with 36mm sightlines, contemporary and SOHO designs
• Soho Collection with lock block and horizontal divides for steel look
• Metallic Knurled handles
• OS20 & OS29 sliding patio doors with ultra slim interlocker

Flush Sash Options OW80

For a truly contemporary look, flush sash aluminium windows sit perfectly flush within the frame, creating a sleek and uniform appearance from both inside and outside the property.

The OW80 is also available in larger sizes to accommodate a more extensive range of project specifications. And, if you want super-slim sightlines for your aluminium windows, Origin have recently released the OB36+ Soho window.

3. Enhanced Security Features

Security remains a top priority for homeowners, and aluminium windows and doors are at the forefront of innovation in this area.

Multi-Point Locking Systems

Origin’s doors and windows come equipped with state-of-the-art multi-point locking systems, ensuring maximum security against potential intruders. These sophisticated mechanisms engage at multiple points along the frame, making forced entry extremely difficult.

Laminated and Toughened Glass Options

For added peace of mind, many aluminium glazing products now offer laminated or toughened glass options. These specially treated glass panes are much harder to break and provide an extra layer of security for your home. With Origin Windows, you can also get a 20-year warranty for peace of mind that your investment is protected.

4. Customisation Capacity

When it comes to personalising your new aluminium windows, Origin offer some outstanding customisation options.

Extensive Colour Choice

You can choose from any of over 150 RAL colours with both mono and dual colour options available.

Origin’s powder coating facility is one of the best in the glazing industry and even rivals the premium finishes available in the automotive industry. You can choose from a range of protective marine grade finishes or opt for a textured finish for the ultimate in bespoke customisation.

Bespoke Design Options

Alongside selecting your preferred window and door colour, Origin can also offer a range of other customisation options including:
