Trade supply
Aluminium Trade Supplier for Greater Manchester
VitrineAlu fabricates and supplies thermally broken aluminium fenestration to the Greater Manchester trade. We work from drawings and sizes, specify the right product route, fabricate the units and supply them ready for your team to install. We are a Haydock-based fabricator just off the M6, so getting finished units across to Manchester sites is a short, predictable run. Open a trade account and quote from drawings.
Lead time confirmed at quote, never a guess. Pricing per project, never a stock figure.

Supplied from Haydock, close to every Manchester postcode
Our fabrication base sits at Unit 1 Nassau Business Park in Haydock, St Helens. That puts us minutes from the M6, with the M62 running straight east into Greater Manchester. For a fabricator supplying installers across Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan and the city centre, that geography matters: it keeps the journey from finished bench to site short and the handover clean.
Because we are the fabricator and not a middleman reselling someone else's units, you deal with the people who actually cut, machine and assemble your job. That means fewer links in the chain, straighter answers on a phone call, and a single point of accountability when a Manchester contract is moving fast.
- M6 and M62 access for runs into Manchester, Salford and the wider boroughs
- Delivery to site or yard, or trade collection direct from Haydock
- Units protected and labelled per opening so they are easy to set out on arrival
Delivery and collection that fits how trade actually works
You tell us whether the job is going to site, to your yard, or whether you would rather collect. For Greater Manchester builders running multiple plots, batching deliveries to line up with your install programme usually makes the most sense, and we will sequence the fabrication around the dates you give us. Lead times and delivery slots are confirmed per project when we quote, so what you plan against is real, not a generic promise.
Collection from Haydock suits trade buyers who want to control their own logistics or who are picking up alongside other materials. Either way, units come labelled against your opening schedule so the right sash ends up in the right hole on a busy site.
The full aluminium range, specified for the opening
We carry one coherent range across windows, doors, glazed screens and structural glazing, so a Manchester project with mixed elements can be specified and supplied from a single source. Browse the full product range or go straight to the line you need.
Across the range we hold genuine performance figures. Bifold doors reach a whole-unit Uw from 0.9 W/m2K where specified, sliding and patio doors from 1.0, casement windows from 0.85, tilt-and-turn windows from 0.71, curtain walling Ucw from 0.6 and commercial doors from 1.2. Acoustic performance to Rw 46 dB is achievable where specified, and the systems accommodate glazing from 22mm to 58mm depending on the route. These are achievable figures for the system rather than a quotation, confirmed against your drawings at quote.
- Aluminium bifold doors and sliding and patio doors
- Casement windows and tilt-and-turn windows
- Entrance doors, steel-look internal doors and screens, heritage
- Curtain walling, roof lanterns and flat rooflights
- Commercial doors, shopfronts and framing
Drawing-led quoting, not guesswork
Send us your drawings, elevations or a simple sizes-and-openings schedule and we will specify the right product route for each opening before we price it. If a Manchester job pushes on size, sightlines, security or thermal numbers, we will tell you what the achievable spec is rather than waving it through and leaving you exposed on site.
Our guides exist to settle the technical questions early. Check the maximum sizes guide when an opening looks marginal, the U-values guide for thermal targets, and the PAS 24 security guide when a contract calls for it. When you are ready, send the job through for a project quote.
Standards and accreditation behind every unit
We fabricate to recognised standards: BS EN 14351-1 for windows and doors, BS EN 13830 for curtain walling, and PAS 24 security routes where specified. UKCA marking and Declaration of Performance support comes as part of the supply, so specifiers and building control on a Greater Manchester project get the paperwork they need without chasing.
As a trade fabricator, we keep finishes, hardware and glazing consistent across repeat orders so your installs look and perform the same from one plot to the next.
Open a trade account and put us to work
VitrineAlu supplies the trade only: installers, builders, joiners, architects, specifiers and commercial fit-out teams. You manage your own installation, and we keep the units, the spec and the documentation right behind you. If a homeowner has reached this page, we do not sell direct, but we can point them to a vetted installer through our find-an-installer route.
To get going, apply for a trade account and send your first set of drawings. Pricing is confirmed per project at quote, so you always know the real number for the real job before you commit.
Common questions
Do you deliver to sites across Greater Manchester?
Yes. We fabricate in Haydock and deliver finished aluminium units to sites and yards across Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Bolton and the surrounding boroughs. You can also collect direct from us. Delivery slots are confirmed per project when we quote your job.
Do you install the windows and doors you supply?
No. We are a trade fabricator and supplier only. We make and supply the units, and your team handles the install. If you are a homeowner, we can refer you to a vetted installer through our find-an-installer route.
How do I get a price for a Manchester project?
Send us your drawings, elevations or a sizes-and-openings schedule. We specify the right product route for each opening, then price it. Start by submitting a project quote. Pricing is confirmed per project, so the number you get is for your actual job.
How do I open a trade account?
Apply through our trade account page. Once you are set up, you can send drawings for quoting and place orders against the full range. We supply installers, builders, joiners, architects and commercial teams.
What products can you supply for a single Greater Manchester job?
The full range from one source: bifold, sliding and patio doors, casement and tilt-and-turn windows, entrance and steel-look internal doors, commercial doors and shopfronts, curtain walling, roof lanterns and rooflights, and heritage. See the product range for detail.
