How long your aluminium windows will last depends on their quality. They should last 20 -30 years at least, but have been known to stay in good condition for up to 45 years. This is considerably longer than uPVC and wooden double glazing.
Dunmow
Great Dunmow is a historical market community and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England. It is located on the north of the A120 road, approximately midway in between Bishop's Stortford and also Braintree, 6 miles east of London Stansted Airport. Originally the site of a Roman negotiation on Stane Street, the town prospered throughout the Middle Ages. Lots of buildings survive from this duration, consisting of a sixteenth-century city center. Dunmow means "Meadow on the Hill". [4] The negotiation was variously referred to as Dunmow Magna, Much Dunmow, or most generally Great Dunmow. Great Dunmow borders the previous estate of Easton Lodge in the neighbouring church of Little Easton, a country house belonging to the Maynard family members. One of the most significant member, Frances Maynard, ended up being the Countess of Warwick as well as later a girlfriend of King Edward VII. As the Prince of Wales he was reportedly a normal visitor to the Estate, taking a trip from London on the train to Easton Lodge train station. The initials "CW" are visible on a variety of Victorian era residential properties in Great Dunmow. Called Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick she was a charitable benefactor in the regional community. As of 2018, Robert Nicholson is Emeritus Mayor of Great Dunmow.
