Reading is the largest town in Berkshire and one of the most economically dynamic places in the south of England, home to a thriving technology sector and a major university, with fast rail connections to London via the Elizabeth Line and Great Western Railway. The town’s property landscape is remarkably varied. In Caversham, north of the Thames, tree-lined streets are home to substantial Edwardian and inter-war detached houses that command premium prices. Tilehurst and Purley-on-Thames offer a mix of period and mid-century family homes with generous gardens. The town centre and surrounding inner suburbs, such as Redlands and the areas around Palmer Park, feature handsome rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces. And across Reading, new-build developments continue to add modern apartments and townhouses to the mix. This diversity means that no single glazing solution fits every home — and that is where Vitrum Solutions adds real value, providing expert advice and professional installation tailored to each property.
Windows & Doors We Install in Reading
From replacing original sash windows in a Victorian terrace to fitting contemporary aluminium bifold doors in a modern extension, we supply and install a complete range of glazing products across Reading.
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 frames deliver exceptional strength, slim sightlines and a clean modern aesthetic. They are an increasingly popular choice among Reading homeowners, particularly those extending or remodelling. Our aluminium range includes:
- Bifold doors — the most requested product for rear extensions and open-plan living spaces, allowing homeowners to open their kitchens and living rooms directly onto the garden
- Sliding patio doors — a space-efficient alternative that provides large glass panels and smooth operation, ideal for properties where swing space is limited
- French doors — a versatile and elegant option that works well with both traditional and contemporary homes across Reading
- Casement windows — slim aluminium profiles that maximise daylight and are available in a comprehensive range of RAL colours
- Slimline roof lanterns — perfect for single-storey extensions, bringing overhead natural light into kitchens, dining rooms and garden rooms
- 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 aluminium systems, renowned across Europe for precision engineering and thermal efficiency, alongside Korniche roof lanterns for their clean design and structural performance.
uPVC Windows & Doors
For homeowners who want excellent performance and value, our REHAU uPVC products deliver consistently across Reading’s diverse housing stock:
- Casement windows — the most popular window type in Reading, available in a wide range of colours and finishes, with multi-point locking and A-rated energy efficiency as standard
- Sliding sash windows — designed to replicate traditional timber sashes, making them a strong choice for the Victorian terraces in Redlands, Katesgrove and the Caversham conservation area
- French doors — a reliable and attractive garden door option with robust integrated security
- Single doors — practical side and rear entrance doors with excellent insulation and multi-point locking
- 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
All REHAU profiles are A-rated for energy efficiency, which makes a real difference to heating bills, particularly in older properties where original single-glazed windows are being replaced.

A quality entrance door transforms the look of your home and significantly improves security. Our range includes:
- Palladio composite doors — premium fibreglass composite doors with a realistic timber appearance, exceptional weather resistance and high-security hardware
- Dynamic composite doors — a solid and versatile composite door available in a wide variety of styles and finishes
- Gerda steel doors — providing the highest level of physical security available, with a selection of finishes for both modern and traditional properties

Why Reading Homeowners Choose Vitrum
- Expertise across every property type — Reading’s housing stock spans Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, post-war family homes and modern new builds. We regularly install across all of these property types, so we understand what works best in each setting — from period-appropriate sash windows for a terrace in Redlands to sleek aluminium bifolds for a contemporary home in Green Park.
- Premium areas, premium service — Homeowners in Caversham, Tilehurst, Purley-on-Thames and Emmer Green invest in quality improvements that reflect the value of their properties.
