Princes Risborough is a historic market town at the foot of the Chiltern escarpment, where the dramatic chalk ridge of Whiteleaf Cross rises steeply to the south and the gentler Vale of Aylesbury stretches northward. The town has a long history — its Market Square and the streets that radiate from it contain a fine collection of period buildings, including timber-framed houses, Georgian townhouses, and Victorian shops, many of which fall within the designated conservation area. Beyond the historic core, the town expanded substantially during the twentieth century, with solid interwar houses along roads like Stratton Road and Longwick Road, 1950s and 1960s estates in the Pyrtle Lane and Picts Lane areas, and significant new residential development on the southern and western edges where modern family homes and apartments have been built over the past two decades. The Chiltern Railway line provides a direct service to London Marylebone, reinforcing the town’s appeal to commuters who value a genuine market-town lifestyle within striking distance of the capital. Vitrum Solutions provides window and door installations across Princes Risborough and the surrounding villages, tailoring every project to the age, style, and character of the property.
Windows & Doors We Install in Princes Risborough
We supply and install a complete selection of aluminium, uPVC, and composite products for homes throughout Princes Risborough. Every installation is completed by our own FENSA registered fitting teams, with each product individually specified to match the character and performance requirements of your property.
Every Vitrums installation is certified by FENSA and protected by a CPA insurance-backed warranty for your complete peace of mind.
Aluminium Windows & Doors
Aluminium framing is the top choice for homeowners seeking the largest possible glass areas with the slimmest frames. It is particularly well-suited to extensions, open-plan living spaces, and properties being renovated to a contemporary standard. Our aluminium range includes:
- Bifold doors — multi-panel doors that fold neatly aside, opening up an entire wall to merge indoor and outdoor living areas — an especially popular choice for properties with views towards the Chiltern ridge
- Sliding doors — floor-to-ceiling glass panels on smooth-running tracks, delivering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside without requiring swing clearance
- French doors — a classic double-door arrangement executed in slim aluminium profiles, working equally well on period rear elevations and modern extensions
- Casement windows — thermally broken frames in any RAL colour, designed to maximise light while providing outstanding thermal and acoustic performance
- Slimline lanterns — low-profile roof lanterns for flat-roof extensions and orangeries, letting natural light flood in from above
- Flush casement windows — sleek aluminium flush windows with clean sightlines sitting perfectly flat within the frame for a contemporary look
- Internal doors — stunning Crittall-style aluminium internal doors and room dividers bringing an industrial-chic aesthetic to your interior
We use Cortizo and Korniche aluminium systems, both of which deliver exceptional thermal efficiency and carry a 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee on the frame.
uPVC Windows & Doors
Built on the German-engineered REHAU profile system, our uPVC products offer excellent insulation, long-term durability, and genuine value. We install:
- Casement windows — available in a comprehensive range of colours and woodgrain finishes, with A-rated glazing fitted as standard
- Sliding sash windows — carefully designed to replicate the look and proportions of traditional timber sashes, making them the natural choice for period properties around the Market Square and along the High Street where maintaining the original window style is essential
- French doors — a practical, secure, and cost-effective alternative to aluminium, with multi-point locking throughout
- Single doors — robust rear and side entrance doors in a selection of panel configurations and colours
- Sliding doors — smooth-gliding patio doors that maximise natural light and garden views without encroaching on interior space
- Rio Inline windows — a modern tilt-and-turn system combining sleek aesthetics with excellent ventilation and easy cleaning
- Bay & bow windows — elegant projecting windows that add character, space and panoramic views to any room
- Flush casement windows — Rehau Rio Flush windows with a modern flat profile sitting flush within the frame for a sleek contemporary finish
REHAU profiles are lead-free, fully recyclable, and engineered to maintain their appearance without any painting or staining for decades.
Entrance Doors
The front door is the focal point of your home’s exterior, and a well-chosen replacement can transform kerb appeal while significantly improving security. We offer three premium ranges:
- Palladio composite doors — solid polyurethane core within a monocoque shell, offered in over 40 designs including heritage styles that suit the character of a market-town property
- Dynamic composite doors — featuring a reinforced aluminium inner frame for outstanding rigidity and weather resistance, with both traditional and contemporary design options
- Gerda steel doors — RC3-rated security doors with a heavy-gauge steel leaf and excellent insulation, providing the highest level of physical security available in a domestic entrance door
- Aluminium front doors — premium aluminium entrance doors combining bold contemporary design with outstanding security and thermal performance
Why Princes Risborough Homeowners Choose Vitrum
- Conservation area experience — The historic core of Princes Risborough falls within a conservation area where replacement glazing must be sensitively handled. We have direct experience working within these guidelines and can recommend products — such as heritage-profile sliding sash windows and traditional-coloured casements — that satisfy planning requirements while delivering modern performance.
- Understanding of the local property range — Princes Risborough’s housing spans several centuries, from timber-framed buildings on the High Street to contemporary homes on the new estates. We assess each property on its own terms and recommend the most appropriate products rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.
- Chilterns coverage — We regularly install in Princes Risborough, High Wycombe, and the surrounding Chilterns villages. Our teams are familiar with the area and can plan work efficiently, keeping disruption and lead times to a minimum.
- Strong guarantee protection — Every installation comes with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, our aluminium systems carry a 25-year frame guarantee, and all glazing is A-rated for energy efficiency as standard. Our CPA membership provides an additional layer of consumer protection.

What Our Customers Say
“We own a Victorian house near the Market Square and needed replacement windows that would be appropriate for the conservation area. Vitrum recommended REHAU sliding sash windows with astragal bars, and they look genuinely traditional while being dramatically warmer and easier to maintain than the old timber frames.”
— Mrs S., Market Square, Princes Risborough
“We had Cortizo aluminium bifold doors installed on our extension, and they have completely changed the way we use the back of the house. The view up to Whiteleaf Cross is stunning, and on warm days the doors fold right back so the garden becomes part of the living space. Superb quality and a very smooth installation.”
— Mr and Mrs R., Stratton Road, Princes Risborough
“Vitrum fitted a Palladio composite front door in a heritage blue colour that really suits our Edwardian property. It was a straightforward process — the survey was thorough, the quote was fair, and the installation was completed neatly in a single morning.”
— Mr D., Longwick Road, Princes Risborough
