How long your aluminium windows will last depends on their quality. They should last 20 -30 years at least, but have been known to stay in good condition for up to 45 years. This is considerably longer than uPVC and wooden double glazing.
Galashiels
Galashiels is a Scottish burgh in Selkirkshire on the Gala Water river. It serves as a notable commercial centre for the Borders region. Although it has an oceanic climate, its elevated position and distance from the sea means that it has chillier winters and somewhat warmer summers than the majority of seaside areas, and snow in winter is more common. In accordance with the 2011 census, the town has a permanent population of around 14994. In 2015, the Scottish Borders Council certified Galashiels as the capital of the Scottish Borders. Its population grew swiftly as a result of the fabric trade with multiple mills. A connection with the town's mill background, the Mill Lade, continues to connect the town from near the site of mills at Wheatlands Road, to Netherdale, through Wilderhaugh, Bank Street, the Fountain and next to the retail development street. The town is particularly well known for fabric making, and it is also the site of Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, Galashiels Academy and one campus of the Borders College, which as of 2009 has actually moved and now accompanies the University. A well known landmark in Galashiels is the Glasite church, which is in possible danger of being lost, but it remains to be standing in between the mills and shop buildings on High Street, Botany Lane and Roxburgh Street. It is home to Gala RFC and Gala Fairydean Rovers, with the football and rugby stadiums connected to each other at one end. The football club's main stand was constructed in 1963 to concepts by Peter Womersley, based in neighboring Gattonside, with the cantilevered concrete structure, in the Brutalist style, being protected as a Category A listed structure.
