Replace Aluminum Windows with Steel-Look Profiles
t447-1

You can replace old aluminum windows with Belgian steel-look profile windows and doors that keep the original opening size. The new frames give a slim, modern steel appearance and are made to measure in our Tel Aviv factory after an on-site survey.
Why Dated Aluminum Frames Look Worn
Older aluminum windows often have thick, flat profiles, faded coatings and visible seals that make a home look tired. Many homeowners want the clean, slim lines of steel without the cost and disruption of rebuilding the wall around an opening.
The good news is that a well-made replacement frame can fit into the existing opening, so the surrounding plaster, tiles and facade usually stay as they are.
What Steel-Look Profiles Offer
Belgian steel-look profiles reproduce the narrow sightlines and sharp corners of classic steel windows. They suit both traditional buildings and contemporary apartments, and they work for windows as well as balcony and entrance doors.
- Slim frame lines that let in more light
- A dark, matte steel appearance
- Designs that match the look of other steel elements in your home
How the Replacement Process Works
We begin with an inquiry where you send photos of the existing windows. Next, our team visits the site to measure every opening and check how the old frames are fixed to the wall.
We then prepare a drawing and a written specification for your approval. Once you confirm, the profiles are produced in our factory and the installation is scheduled, so the work on site is planned and kept as short as possible.
Keeping the Existing Opening
Working within the current opening is the key to a faster, cleaner upgrade. Our measurements capture the true size of the opening, including any out-of-square edges, so the new frames sit correctly.
Where the wall needs small adjustments, we explain them in the specification before production starts, so there are no surprises on installation day.
Finishing and Durability
Our steel-look profiles are finished to resist weather and daily wear. Depending on the design, we use hot-dip galvanizing as a base and powder coating for the final colour, which helps the frames keep their appearance over time.
Choosing the right finish for your building, especially if it faces the sea or direct sun, is part of the consultation.
Planning Your Upgrade
Start by listing which windows and doors you want to replace and which ones you plan to keep. Note any problems you have noticed, such as drafts, condensation or sticking sashes.
Bring that list along with your photos when you contact us. Our team will then advise on the best profile and layout for your home and building.
Frequently asked questions
Can steel-look windows be installed in my existing aluminum opening?
In most cases yes, because the new frames are made to the measured size of your current opening. An on-site survey confirms the fit before production begins.
Do I need to replace the whole wall or tiles?
Usually not. The aim of the replacement is to fit within the existing opening, though small adjustments to the surrounding wall may sometimes be needed and are explained in advance.
Are these profiles suitable for balcony and entrance doors?
Yes, Belgian steel-look profiles are available for both windows and doors, so you can match the style across your home.
How do I start the process?
Send us photos of your current windows and doors. We will then arrange an on-site measurement and prepare a drawing and written specification for your approval.
Common mistakes to avoid
A common mistake is ordering frames from photos alone without measuring the actual opening, which can lead to poor fit. Another is choosing a finish without considering sun and sea exposure on that side of the building.
Our recommendation
Measure and inspect each opening on site before deciding, and ask for a written drawing so you know exactly what will be installed. Consider the finish carefully for exposed facades to protect the frames over the long term.
Summary
Replacing old aluminum frames with Belgian steel-look profiles gives your home a modern steel appearance while keeping the existing openings. Start with photos and an on-site measurement for an accurate, well-fitting result.
