Our Eclipse Aluminium Windows collection
West Yorkshire Windows has pioneered many home enhancement products over the years and Eclipse aluminium windows rank as one of our finest. Style their design however you see fit with our large group of colours, glass types and accessories. They demonstrate premium quality in every facet of their makeup, rewarding purchasers with assured security and thermal efficiency day after day.
Aluminium Casement Windows
Our pedigree in manufacturing world-class windows is evidenced in the spectacularly crafted aluminium casement windows for the Eclipse range. Let us know what casement sizes you need and our highly skilled window makers will produce the perfect-fitting designs, just like they’ve so famously done for hundreds of fellow Yorkshire homeowners.
The casement style is an undeniable classic window offering and remains as popular today as it was centuries ago. Being hinged at the side sees a casement open outwardly and you can either have one in isolation or an entire set of them. Become accustomed with our casement windows and how it works in our showroom.
Aluminium Flush Windows
It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for a direct replacement for old flush windows or just keen to infuse the flush effect into your property, the Eclipse aluminium flush window is as authentic as you could hope for. Unsure of what a flush window is? Like traditional timber windows, it has a flat external surface.
Flush windows were never this trim, nor were they ever quite so tough or insulating back in the day as an Eclipse flush aluminium frame is. One similarity though is that Eclipse flush windows have the appearance of wooden frames.
Aluminium Tilt & Turn Windows
The opening options with an Eclipse aluminium tilt and turn window will appeal to anyone wanting to attract different volumes of ventilation and protect children. Twist the handle once and it initiates a slight inward opening at the top, bringing in a gentle breeze without putting child safety at threat.
Turn the handle a bit more and it results in the window swinging open, which proves a useful function when you want to spruce it up with a quick clean.
Aluminium Bay Windows
Bay windows are easy to detect when browsing styles in our showrooms as they have a noticeable outward projection. Consisting of a minimum of three panels, a bay and bow window invites abundant light to collect inside a home.
Crafted into rectangular, triangular and polygonal profiles, bay windows are most regularly seen in home frontages, offering occupants a more expansive view than a conventional flat window.
Aluminium French Windows
The opening function of a French window involves unlatching two parallel-opening vents to let the design free and open a space to the outside world. Kept ajar, French windows leave a huge passage for the sun to travel through, drawing tremendous ventilation and natural light.
Though they are often few and far between, we get days when a stuffy indoor atmosphere arises and needs dampening with cooler air, which is when French windows come into their own. Kitchens are a popular location for French windows, granting cooks and diners a useful pass-through.
Aluminium Cottage Windows
Years on from their original heyday, there remains a great amount of affection for traditional cottage windows. Identifying this continuous trend, we thought it logical to build a cottage window fit for 21st century Yorkshire. Approved by most of the region’s planning committees, the Eclipse cottage window boasts classic looks combined with contemporary security and energy efficiency.
From the outside, it appears identical to a traditional cottage window, but the embedded components see that it conclusively outperforms it.
Aluminium Shaped Windows
Window openings don’t always have straight square or rectangular lines and sometimes need an arched or shaped design to fill them. West Yorkshire Windows is more than capable of fashioning aluminium windows in irregular shapes to occupy any unusual openings.
Arched and shaped windows covet attention and manage to lure sunlight from angles that standard windows can’t. An advisor will show you possible window configurations on our software.
Aluminium Fixed Windows
A fixed window will emphasise the view in front of it, which you’ll struggle to avert your gaze from if it happens to look out on a rambling hillside. Our fixed windows have scant framework and copious glazing so that little gets in the way of the view and light generously roams in.
The appearance of Eclipse aluminium fixed frame windows will stay largely unchanged as aluminium has weather-resistant properties. Just the odd wiping of the frames will do to keep them gleaming.

Colours that command attention...
Aluminium window colours are rarely so flamboyant and it’s unusual for such a breadth of finishes to be offered alongside the eternally appealing white hue. The in-house technology we have enables us to engineer colours outside of the conventional group of tones and this colour assortment will only expand over time.
Customers who favour a traditional window effect are bound to be attracted to our authentic woodgrain finishes. Explore the colours closely with an advisor.
Beyond just a functional touch...
When conceiving the Eclipse range, our team of designers took on the task of composing a street of handles to affix to the different styles. They shaped some incredibly stylish handles that are user-friendly and play a key role in preventing a locked Eclipse window from being levered open.
No choices on handles or any other form of hardware need be made alone as you’ve always got the trusted guidance of our advisors to rely on. They know window hardware exhaustively and will suggest the best solution.
Handles need colour too...
Whilst you are getting a feel for the multitude of handles for Eclipse aluminium windows, have a good think about how you’d like your chosen handle style to be finished. Handle colour options vary between traditional and contemporary hues.
Normally, a customer will opt to colour-match the handle and window frame colours, but there’s nothing stopping you selecting two differing shades for a curious contrast.
Glazing is central to Eclipse’s performance...
Aside from the unyielding aluminium framework, Eclipse includes intelligent glazing to feed homes with the pinnacle of thermal comfort. Browse the catalogue of glazing innovations and identify which is most suited to the overall design.
Each individual form of glazing is a perfect fusion of functionality and opulence. We can organise privacy glazing if you want to disguise e.g. bathroom areas from view and maintain seclusion.
Would leaded, astragal or Georgian bars appeal to you?
You can, of course, keep Eclipse aluminium windows completely free of decoration, or how about applying some distinguished decoration in the form of some leaded, Georgian or astragal bars?
They are a very traditional window effect and unfailingly inject heritage-like character into Eclipse windows. If you want to see the aesthetic created by bar detailing, we can show you using our design software.
Did you know our windows & doors come with a 20 year guarantee?
That’s double most other double glazing companies offer – giving you total peace of mind.

If you have any other questions our team will be happy to help, book a design appointment online or visit our showroom to see our aluminium windows for yourself.
How durable are aluminium windows?
Our Eclipse aluminium windows are amongst the strongest in the industry.
Eclipse aluminium windows have many attributes and one of the biggest of them is their strength – very few alternative systems can compete with Eclipse in a strength test! Amazingly robust and durable, they include a stunning powder-coated finish, resistant to corrosion and knocks.
Timber windows easily succumb to the weather and tend to rot as they get older, but Eclipse aluminium windows always come out on top against the elements, with a coloured finish that can comfortably combat rain exposure. The aluminium frame also won’t swell, wrap, or crack as temperatures fluctuate.
No gradual fading of the powder-coated finish will occur and that includes if the windows are exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged spells. It will keep looking as good as new, removing any need for repainting.
What are the energy-efficient features of these aluminium windows?
As energy efficient as you could possibly want.
Traditional aluminium window systems fall well short of delivering modern thermal standards, but the Eclipse range surpasses them by a significant distance to help you make huge long-term energy savings.
Two components in an Eclipse aluminium window curb heat loss so that homes never get too cold, and you don’t have to overuse your boiler. One of them is the thermal break within the design, and the other is our high performance, next generation glass. For airtight protection against the weather, a dual density weatherseal is also fitted into the product.
Added to all this, Eclipse aluminium windows from West Yorkshire Windows have an impressively low U-value and impressively high energy rating.
How much maintenance do aluminium windows need? Are they easy to clean?
Maintenance of an aluminium window is an easy job.
You have more important things to be doing than frequently attending to window maintenance, so you will be happy to know that aluminium windows need minimal upkeep.
Take off any hand jewellery before you clean the glazed surface of the window so that you don’t accidentally scratch it, using a mix of soap and water to remove any dirt and grime. A soft cloth and household glass cleaner will restore a shine to the glazing. Avoid applying too much pressure as you clean the glass if the window contains Georgian bars or leaded lights so that they don’t become dislodged.
Clean the aluminium window frames every 3 months with soap and water, and half-yearly, cleanse the external frame with a non-abrasive proprietary cleaner.
Please, watch yourself when cleaning the windows whilst they’re open so that you don’t get your hands caught in any of the hardware’s sharp corners or edges.
After they’ve been cleaned with the soap/water solution, use the soft cloth to buff the window handles up.
Once a year, apply oil or light grease to the lock and keeps so that they don’t stick, and add a thin film of grease to the hinges, which will ensure they continue moving smoothly.
What security features and locking mechanisms are available for aluminium windows?
For us, security is always what matters most.
Feeling safe inside your house is fundamental to a happy home life, as we acknowledge in the designing of our Eclipse aluminium windows, made to protect properties to the maximum degree.
They have so many secure components within their construction, the sturdy aluminium frame being one of them, complemented with a multi-point lock, solid glazing, and a host of concealed secure mechanisms, including some invisible locking cylinders.
Subjected to relentless, demanding tests during their development, you can have complete confidence in Eclipse windows defending your private space from outside interference.
How can I customise the appearance of aluminium windows to match the style of my home? Can I choose different options for the inside and outside?
Personalise the Eclipse range so that it mirrors your property’s image.
You have full licence from us to tailor Eclipse aluminium windows so that they seamlessly complement the other architectural features of your home – long gone are the days when you got what you were given with aluminium windows.
Just let your advisor know what size, shape, colour etc. you want them to be, and of any preferred accessories, and they will create the custom windows in front of you on our hi-tech software.
The colour options for Eclipse aluminium windows are immense and you can have a colour-contrast by selecting a dual-colour finish, with opposing colours on the external and internal sides of the frames.
Want some add-ons for your Eclipse windows? How about including Georgian bars to have them mimic traditional Georgian windows for a classy extra touch of detailing.
A material as flexible as aluminium opens up such a wealth of possibilities.
How effective are aluminium windows at reducing noise from outside?
Aluminium windows can usher in a reduction in noise.
The world is a noisy place, and your home should be a peaceful sanctuary from it. Not so if you have old, single glazed windows and live close to a busy road, railway network, or reside in a rowdy residential area.
Aluminium windows from our Eclipse collection have noise-reducing capabilities and it is largely the glass in them that can repel any din from the outdoors.
The best soundproofing measure you can take is to ask for Eclipse windows to come in triple glazed units. Crucially, the three glass panes will have varying thicknesses as this is essential to effectively break down sound waves.
Are aluminium windows environmentally friendly?
Aluminium passes the sustainability test.
Much is said about the toughness of aluminium and its impressive thermal properties, but in this era of climate change, people want to know if the material is eco-friendly. Without any hesitation, we can tell you that aluminium does excel in energy efficiency.
It’s an endlessly recyclable material and recycling it only uses 5% of the energy it takes to produce the metal. During the recycling process, it retains its original strength and quality, no matter how many times it goes through this, enduring for a lifetime. Any subsequent upgrading of your windows, following on from having Eclipse windows installed, will be years and years away, saving you money and putting on the brakes on any overconsumption.
Your energy consumption will be significantly lowered as aluminium windows do an amazing job of retaining heat and restricting cold air from entering homes, improving the planet’s health by cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Do I need planning permission for aluminium windows?
Planning permission isn’t necessary for most aluminium window installations.
Generally, you can commence with the installation of Eclipse aluminium windows without having to obtain planning approval from your local authority first if they are largely in keeping with your existing designs. The term used for this is ‘permitted development rights’, entitling you to automatically proceed with the fitting of new replacements.
Rules are more restrictive for window upgrades in conservation areas. The aluminium windows you choose have to accurately emulate the appearance of your current windows, fully detailed in the submitted planning application. Some homes in conservation areas also have an Article 4 direction imposed on them, limiting what enhancements you can make to them without obtaining planning approval.
Aluminium window installations at Listed Buildings always require a planning application.
West Yorkshire Windows will be happy to help with the organising of the paperwork needed to be forward on to your planning committee.
