Aluminium windows

Joinery that lasts. Made here.

Aluminium gives you slim, strong frames that won't rot, warp or need repainting. You choose the powder-coat colour, the glazing keeps the house warm, and every frame is fabricated in our own Christchurch workshop.

Why aluminium joinery.

There's a reason aluminium became the standard for modern New Zealand joinery. It's strong enough for slim sightlines and big openings, it stands up to our weather, and it never needs the sanding and repainting that timber does. With a polyamide thermal break and Low-E double glazing, a modern aluminium frame is warm too, a long way from the cold single-glazed aluminium most people remember from the 80s. We design, make and fit it ourselves, so the whole house ends up in one suite and one colour.

Aluminium window frames being fabricated in Lume's Christchurch workshop
Decades of low maintenance
Powder-coated aluminium won't rot, warp or need repainting the way timber and steel joinery does. An occasional wash keeps it looking new.
Made in Christchurch
Every frame is fabricated in our own workshop from New Zealand aluminium. None of it is imported or bought in, so we're accountable for the quality from the first cut to the final install.
Warm, thermally broken frames
A polyamide thermal break inside the frame stops heat conducting straight through the aluminium, which means warmer frames, fewer cold spots and less condensation.
Slim frames, more glass
Aluminium's strength lets us run slimmer sightlines and larger openings than other materials, so you get more light and a cleaner look.
The colour you want
Frames are powder-coated in a wide range of Dulux Duralloy colours and finishes, backed by a 15-year finish warranty. Match it to your cladding and roof.
Strong and secure
Modern multi-point locking and rigid frames come standard, and aluminium is fully recyclable at the end of its long life.

Two systems. Specced for your job.

Both share the same frame profile and hardware family: pick by thermal performance and opening size. We'll spec the right one during quote.

The questions we hear most.

Old single-glazed aluminium was, because heat conducts straight through bare metal. Modern joinery fixes that in two places. A polyamide thermal break inside the frame stops heat travelling through the aluminium, and Low-E double glazing takes care of the glass. Put together, a thermally broken, double-glazed aluminium window is genuinely warm.
