Window frames in Amsterdam: PVC, wood and aluminium
Window frames for every home in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is home to virtually every type of property found in the Netherlands, and each type requires its own specific style of window frame. For listed canal-side properties and buildings within the conservation area, wooden window frames are often mandatory under Amsterdam’s building regulations and heritage policy. In 1930s homes in Plan-Zuid and the Rivierenbuurt, the original wooden window frames have, after decades, started to develop gaps and cause heat loss; new wood or PVC with a wood-effect finish is the appropriate solution.
In post-war neighbourhoods such as the Westelijke Tuinsteden and Buitenveldert, uPVC is often the preferred choice: low-maintenance and offering excellent insulation with HR++ (double glazing). In modern new-build developments around IJburg and Zeeburgereiland, homeowners regularly opt for aluminium, due to its slim profiles for large sliding doors and glazed sections.
Bespoke plastic window frames in Amsterdam
In Amsterdam’s post-war neighbourhoods, such as Slotermeer, Geuzenveld and the Westelijke Tuinsteden, there are plastic window frames a popular choice. They require little maintenance, provide excellent insulation and have a lifespan of up to 75 years.
You can choose the dimensions, colour and design of your window frames yourself; all RAL colours are available, from classic cream white to sleek anthracite grey. Would you like a wooden look without the maintenance? Then a realistic wood-effect finish is a good option.
Would you like to make your home more energy-efficient? Our PVC window frames feature a five-chamber system and provide excellent insulation with HR++ (double glazing). In central Amsterdam or along busier streets, additional sound insulation with HR+++ (triple glazing) may be desirable. Furthermore, subsidies are often available through the ISDE scheme for energy-saving replacements.
Replacing wooden window frames in Amsterdam
For historic canal-side properties, homes in Plan-Zuid and the 1930s neighbourhoods in Bos en Lommer, wooden frames often the right choice, due to planning regulations or the need to preserve the characteristic brick architecture. We manufacture fully bespoke wooden window frames in any colour you wish. With proper maintenance, you can look forward to decades of enjoyment.
Aluminium window frames in Amsterdam and the surrounding area
In Amsterdam’s new housing developments, such as IJburg, Zeeburgereiland and the Zuidas area, there are modern aluminium designs a popular choice. The strong yet slim profiles are ideal for large sliding doors and glass walls. Aluminium window frames are low-maintenance and have an average lifespan of 60 years.
