Savannah Window Co provides professional aluminum windows in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the lower Savannah and Ogeechee basins. Aluminum divides opinion for a reason. The mid-century aluminum in a lot of Savannah's ranches deserves its bad name, and the thermally broken aluminum sold today is a different product entirely. Confusing the two costs people either money or a good window.
The old frames were solid metal with no break in them at all. Metal conducts, so on a January morning the interior frame sat well below the room's dew point, collected water along the sill and rotted whatever it was sitting on. That is the aluminum people remember, and replacing it is usually a straightforward improvement in every direction.
The modern version puts a polyamide strip or a poured-and-debridged resin channel between the outside and inside faces, so the two halves are no longer one piece of conducting metal. Performance is respectable, though still not vinyl's, and it clears Georgia's 0.35 U-factor requirement in residential configurations when the glazing package is chosen to suit. Ask which break a frame uses, because poured resin and polyamide behave differently.
What aluminum buys you is strength for a given amount of frame. That means the narrowest sightlines of anything on the market, the largest single lites, and the black steel-look profiles people ask us for by name. On a wide opening where vinyl would need a reinforced mullion in the middle of your view, aluminum simply spans it.
In Savannah that strength has a second use. The narrow frame fits inside an existing masonry opening without the wall being touched, where a heavier profile would have somebody reaching for a grinder. Keeping the opening keeps the job off the permit list, and off the five-year improvement total that governs older buildings inside the mapped hazard areas.
Corrosion is a fair question this close to tidal water and the answer is the finish, not the metal. Mill finish and cheap paint chalk and pit within a few years of salt exposure. Anodized or a good fluoropolymer coating does not. We specify stainless fasteners at every attachment, because a steel screw in an aluminum frame beside the marsh is a slow chemistry experiment. Salt haze carries further inland here than most owners assume.
Where we argue against it is the ordinary bedroom window on an ordinary house. You are paying a premium for span and sightline in an opening that needs neither, and taking a small thermal penalty for the privilege. Buy vinyl or fiberglass there and spend the difference where the glass area is genuinely large.
Commercial work is the opposite case, and most of our aluminum goes there: storefront framing, window wall on the mid-rise stock, and the shopfronts along Bay and Broughton. Those buildings need span, tempered safety glazing and hardware that survives a thousand cycles a week, and aluminum is the only sensible answer to all three. We keep the common closers and pivots for those systems on the truck.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — pultruded fiberglass frames ordered to the measured opening, insert sash packs fitted inside an existing jamb, sill pans with end dams and a sloped back leg, flood-damage-resistant frame materials under FEMA Technical Bulletin 2, laminated impact glazing over a 0.090-inch interlayer, warm-edge spacers in argon-filled insulating glass units — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Savannah and nearby communities including Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Thunderbolt.

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum windows
The difference between aluminum windows that lasts and aluminum windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with pultruded fiberglass frames ordered to the measured opening, insert sash packs fitted inside an existing jamb, sill pans with end dams and a sloped back leg, flood-damage-resistant frame materials under FEMA Technical Bulletin 2, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Savannah job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the lower Savannah and Ogeechee basins means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
