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.
Y Felinheli
Y Felinheli, formerly understood in English as Port Dinorwic, is a town, area as well as electoral ward beside the Menai Strait between Bangor and also Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The population of the village was 2,284 at the 2011 Census. Y Felinheli has its beginnings in two communities, Tafarngrisiau near St Mary's Church and also Aberpwll to the north-east where there was a mill on the Afon Heulyn. The mill was reconstructed closer to the sea in 1633 and provided its name to the settlement. The location was mostly farming up until the location was changed by slate quarrying in the 19th century. A brand-new dock was built in 1828 when lime was extracted at Brynadda and also slate and lime were filled and culm (coal dirt or anthracite slack) was brought in to fire the lime kilns. The owners of the Vaynol Estate, the Assheton Smiths, possessed a lot of the land in Y Felinheli and also created the Dinorwic Quarry in the late 18th century, They also built the harbour to export slate carried to the quay by the Dinorwic Railway, a narrow gauge railway that was consequently changed by the Padarn Railway. Industrial development offered Y Felinheli (Felin-hely, 1838) the different name Port Dinorwig or Port Dinorwic.
