Glass Windows
Allow passage of light and air indoors, relish the view outdoors
A Window is what breaks the monotony of the four walls that form a room. They are required to allow the passage of light, air and sound and help bring life to a room. In today’s modern times, Glass is the de-facto substance used to make Windows, framed with mostly metal such as Aluminium or maybe wood.

Windows for HDB and BTO Flats
- HDB has specific guidelines regarding window types, sizes, and safety features such as withstanding strong winds and preventing unauthorised access. Only BCA-approved window contractors registered with HDB can install or replace aluminium windows. It’s essential to decide on the windows that comply with these regulations to avoid potential issues during inspections.
- BTO flats offer a blank canvas for homeowners to express their personal style. Our BTO window options include sleek, modern designs that maximise natural light and enhance the overall aesthetic of your home. Consider options like larger sliding windows for a panoramic view or casement windows for optimal ventilation. Double-glazed options also help reduce noise pollution, a common concern in densely populated areas.
For BTO and HDB homeowners, choosing the right window types can significantly enhance living comfort as well as meet regulatory standards. Popular choices include aluminium casement windows, which offer excellent ventilation and are ideal for bedrooms and living areas, and sliding windows, favoured for their space-saving design and ease of use in areas like kitchens and service yards.
Aluminium Window Frames
Aluminium window frames offer several key advantages over traditional materials like wood or PVC. They are incredibly strong and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for Singapore’s humid environment. Aluminium is also lightweight, allowing for larger window sizes and unobstructed views. Furthermore, aluminium frames are low-maintenance, requiring only occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best. Their slim profiles also contribute to a modern, minimalist aesthetic that complements contemporary home designs.
Importantly, all aluminium windows must comply with Singapore’s building codes and regulations, including the SS 212:2007 Specification for aluminium alloy windows. Rigorous testing and certification ensure structural integrity and weather resistance, providing homeowners with peace of mind.
