Why installers source from Direct Trade Windows

In-house design and fabrication means predictable supply — no broken supply chains, no missing components on delivery day. System breadth means you can offer your customer the right product, not whichever one you can currently source.

Direct workshop access — when something needs adjusting, you call the cutting team. Constructionline Gold means your end-client trusts the supply chain. Trade pricing for repeat-order installers.

Specification across aluminium budgets

We specify across three system families. The right system depends on the project — and the budget:

We’re trained and tooled on both Cortizo and Smart Systems — all fabricated in-house at our Slough workshop. For sliding and bifolding doors specifically, our default recommendation is the Cortizo range (COR Vision, 4600, 4700, and Cor bifold) based on our specifier experience with sightline minimisation, thermal performance, and cost at height. Smart Visoglide and Visofold are also fabricated where a project requires them.
