They are becoming a popular option for homeowners and businesses in Kenya looking to improve aesthetics, security, and efficiency.
But how do you pick the right one for your space?
Our team of experts at Bibo’s Windows and Doors has put together the following guide.
It will walk you through the steps to decide on the best option for you.
Start with Your Needs
It’s easy to get bogged down in the specifics, but before diving into those details, it’s essential to clarify your needs.
Start by making a list of the factors that are critical to you. What do you need? This can encompass everything from the aesthetic you are aiming for to practical considerations like size and shape.
Think about the room where the window will be installed, how you plan to use it, the climatic conditions of the area, and your priorities. For example, a bedroom may require windows that ensure privacy, while a living room might prioritize maximizing natural light.
Know Your Options
Aluminium windows come in a tremendous variety, which is part of why people like them so much. But it also means you’ll want to understand all your options before choosing.
Common types include:
- Casement windows: These are hinged on the side and open outward, kind of like a door. They maximize airflow and offer unobstructed views.
- Sliding windows: These slide horizontally, meaning you don’t have to protrude outward to open them—saving on space.
- Tilt and turn windows: These tilt inward at the top to give you some ventilation. But if you need an emergency exit or access for convenient cleaning, they can swing fully inward.
- Awning windows: These have a top hinge and push outward at the bottom. The design offers ventilation even in the case of rain while still protecting privacy.
Other Considerations
Consider Energy Efficiency & Security
Features like energy efficiency and security will pay off in the long term, but specifics still matter.
For example, a well-shaded area of the house might not need a window that provides much thermal protection. Similarly, a third-story window is a very low security risk, so other priorities can take a front seat.
Aesthetics and Customization
When you choose aluminium windows, you have so many potential colors, finishes, and styles. Look for ones that match your preferences and the design of your home or office.

Maintenance and Longevity
Aluminium windows provide stunning looks with low maintenance requirements. You don’t need to worry about your windows warping or cracking, and you won’t need to regularly repaint them.
That being said, you will need to clean them occasionally. Take that into consideration, as some designs make cleaning easier than others.
