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.
Helmsdale
Helmsdale is a village on the east coast of Sutherland, in the Highland council region of Scotland. The village is on the A9 road, at a junction with the A897, and has a railway station on the Far North Line. Buses run roughly every two hours Mondays-Saturdays and occasionally on Sundays from Helmsdale to Brora, Golspie, Dornoch, Tain and Inverness in the south and Berriedale, Dunbeath, Halkirk, Thurso and Scrabster in the north. West Helmsdale lies across the river from the main village above the railway station. Old Helmsdale is directly to the north while East Helmsdale is a settlement under a mile to the east. Helmsdale is a fishing port at the estuary of the River Helmsdale, and was as soon as the home of some of the largest herring fleets in Europe. The river itself is famous for its fishing. Helmsdale Castle, the remains of which were destroyed in the 1970s in order to develop the brand-new A9 road bridge, was the setting of the murder of the 11th Earl of Sutherland in 1567. The Earl and his Countess Marie Seton were poisoned by Isobel Sinclair. The modern-day village was set out in 1814 to resettle communities that had been gotten rid of from the surrounding straths as part of the Highland Clearances. Facilities in Helmsdale feature an independent hostel, a culture centre, an art gallery, and an inn. Helmsdale is renowned for its Highland Games which are run on the third Saturday in August every year. Best known is the evening Marquee Dance when the village population of 700 more than doubles as a result of visitors attending the dance. Helmsdale is also the home of Bunillidh Thistle F.C. and Helmsdale United. For all of your home refurbishments, be sure to find credible professionals in Helmsdale to make certain of quality.
