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.
Tarbert
Tarbert is a town in the west of Scotland, in the Argyll and Bute council location. It is constructed around East Loch Tarbert, an inlet of Loch Fyne, as well as extends over the isthmus which connects the peninsula of Kintyre to Knapdale and West Loch Tarbert. Tarbert had actually a recorded population of 1,338 in the 2001 Census. Tarbert has a lengthy background both as a harbour and as a critical point player access to Kintyre and the Inner Hebrides. The name Tarbert is the anglicised form of the Gaelic word tairbeart, which literally converts as "lugging throughout" as well as describes the narrowest strip of land in between 2 bodies of water over which items or whole boats can be lugged (portage). In hobbies freights were released from vessels berthed in one loch, transported over the isthmus to the other loch, packed onto vessels berthed there and also shipped forward, enabling seafarers to prevent the sail around the Mull of Kintyre. Tarbert was anciently part of the Gaelic overkingdom of Dál Riata and protected by 3 castles-- in the town centre, at the head of the West Loch, and on the south side of the East Loch. The ruin of the last of these castles, Tarbert Castle, still exists and controls Tarbert's horizon. Around the year 1098 Magnus Barefoot, King of Norway, had his longship lugged across the isthmus at Tarbert to indicate his ownership of the Western Isles. In spite of its difference as a tactical garrison during the Middle Ages, Tarbert's socioeconomic success came throughout the Very early Modern period, as the port developed into a fishing community. At its height, the Loch Fyne herring fishery drew in hundreds of vessels to Tarbert.
