About Us

As part of the Duration Windows Group of companies Aluminium By Design is one of the UK's leading specialist aluminium trade manufacturers. We specialize in aluminium roof lanterns, and self supporting curtain walling. ABD is a supply only manufacturing company that delivers right across mainland UK, from our base here on Canvey Island, in Essex. The company is a family run business that was established in 1995, and has been going strong ever since.

The majority of our customers are trade companies, however we are more than happy to supply to the ever-growing self-build and DIY market. So why not buy direct from the UK manufacturers and cut out the middleman. If you want one of our products installed and you don’t already have a company to do it, then we can help. We will put you in contact with supply & fit companies that cover your area from our extensive base of recommended customers.
