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.
West Linton
West Linton is a town as well as civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was previously in the county of Peeblesshire, however given that city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. Much of its citizens are commuters, owing to the village's distance to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north east. West Linton has a lengthy background, and also holds a yearly typical festival called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of old origin. Its name derives from a Celtic element (cognate with the modern-day Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and contemporary Welsh "Llyn") suggesting a lake or pool, a pool in a river, or a network (as in Loch Linnhe, part of which is called An Linne Dhubh, the black pool, or Dublin, an Anglicisation of dubh as well as linn, suggesting black swimming pool) as well as the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "hubbub"), for a fortress, strengthened location, or army camp (pertaining to the contemporary English town, using the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of residences), and also is evidently appropriate, as the village shows up to have actually been bordered by lakes, pools and marshes. At once it was called Lyntoun Roderyck, identified perhaps with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose region included this area, or with a regional chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic variation of the place name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic type of Roderick. The prefix "West" was obtained numerous centuries later on to clarify the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
