Known affectionately as “Chippy” to its residents, Chipping Norton is the highest town in Oxfordshire and one of the most characterful market towns in the Cotswolds. The handsome Market Place, dominated by its Victorian town hall, is surrounded by buildings in the golden Cotswold limestone that gives this part of England its unmistakable warmth, while the streets that radiate outwards — from the steep descent of New Street to the elegant frontages along West Street and Over Norton Road — chart centuries of architectural evolution. In recent decades, Chipping Norton has attracted considerable attention as a desirable place to live, drawing families and professionals who value its strong community, independent shops, and access to some of the finest countryside in the country. The property market reflects this appeal, with premium prices driving investment in home improvements. Whether you own a stone-fronted period house in the conservation area, a substantial detached property on the edges of town, or one of the newer homes on developments like Parker Knoll or Tank Farm, upgrading your windows and doors is one of the smartest investments you can make — improving comfort, cutting energy bills, and enhancing the value of your Chipping Norton home.
Windows & Doors We Install in Chipping Norton
We supply and install the full range of aluminium and uPVC windows and doors to suit the broad spectrum of property types found in and around Chipping Norton. From conservation-compliant sash windows for stone-built period homes to striking aluminium glazing for contemporary extensions, every product is fitted to FENSA-registered standards.
Every Vitrums installation is certified by FENSA and protected by a CPA insurance-backed warranty for your complete peace of mind.
Aluminium Windows & Doors
Premium aluminium glazing has become exceptionally popular in Chipping Norton and across the Cotswolds. The visual contrast between the textured warmth of local limestone and the precise, minimal lines of an aluminium frame is one of the most compelling combinations in modern domestic architecture. Homeowners here frequently choose aluminium for garden-facing extensions, orangeries, and open-plan kitchen conversions, where maximising natural light and creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape is the priority.
- Bifold doors — The centrepiece of many a Chipping Norton kitchen extension. Our Cortizo bifold systems feature ultra-slim profiles and are available in two- to seven-panel configurations, folding back to create an uninterrupted opening to your garden.
- Sliding doors — Where a clean, unbroken line of glazing is desired, sliding doors deliver expansive views with effortless operation. Inline and lift-and-slide mechanisms in two- and three-track formats.
- French doors — Traditional opening proportions in a contemporary aluminium frame. A popular choice for properties where the rear elevation bridges period and modern design.
- Casement windows — Thermally efficient, slimline, and available in any RAL colour. Particularly effective in extensions and new-build sections where a modern aesthetic is appropriate.
- Slimline roof lanterns — Our Korniche lanterns are engineered for rapid installation and feature market-leading slim ridges, flooding flat-roof extensions with overhead light and adding a genuine architectural feature to your home.
- 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
Brands we install: Cortizo, Korniche
uPVC Windows & Doors
For the period properties that line Chipping Norton’s streets and the surrounding Cotswold villages, heritage-appropriate uPVC provides the ideal balance of traditional appearance, modern thermal performance, and low maintenance. Our REHAU profile systems are multi-chambered for superior insulation and are available in heritage colours and woodgrain foils that sit comfortably alongside the local stone.
- Casement windows — Fully sculptured or chamfered profiles, internally beaded for security, and A-rated as standard. A practical upgrade for the many mid-century and later homes on Chipping Norton’s residential estates.
- Sliding sash windows — Designed to faithfully replicate the look and proportions of traditional timber sash windows. Run-through horns, deep bottom rails, and Georgian bar options make these the go-to choice for Chipping Norton’s conservation area, where planners expect windows to respect the historic streetscape.
- French doors — Wide-opening garden access with low thresholds and robust multi-point locking.
- Single doors — Practical rear and side entrance doors in a range of colours and configurations.
- 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

Entrance Doors
In a town where stone-built frontages and carefully maintained gardens set the standard, the right front door makes a powerful first impression. We carry three engineered entrance door ranges that deliver on security, insulation, and long-term aesthetic appeal.
- Palladio composite doors — Monocoque fibreglass construction that resists warping, cracking, and discolouration. Traditional designs with period glazing options complement Chipping Norton’s stone architecture perfectly.
- Dynamic composite doors — A timber-core composite available in a broad range of colours and styles, offering dependable performance at a competitive price.
- Gerda steel doors — RC3 security rated and thermally broken. An increasingly popular choice for Chipping Norton homeowners who want the highest specification in front door security.
- Aluminium front doors — premium aluminium entrance doors combining bold contemporary design with outstanding security and thermal performance
Why Chipping Norton Homeowners Choose Vitrum
- Cotswolds conservation expertise — Much of Chipping Norton’s town centre is a designated conservation area, and many surrounding villages have their own heritage protections. We have direct experience working within these constraints and can advise on products and finishes that planning officers will approve, including heritage-style sliding sash windows and traditionally proportioned entrance doors.
- Aluminium and stone — a natural pairing — We have become known across the Cotswolds for our aluminium installations. The combination of Cortizo or Korniche products with Cotswold stone creates a genuinely stunning result, and we can help you get the design exactly right — from frame colour and threshold detail to handle finish and glazing specification.
- Whole-property thinking — Many Chipping Norton projects call for a dual approach: heritage-compliant windows at the front and bold aluminium at the rear. We are comfortable working across both disciplines within a single project, ensuring a coherent result that satisfies both planning requirements and your design ambitions.
- Guaranteed quality — Every installation is backed by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee. Aluminium frames are guaranteed for 25 years. We are FENSA registered and CPA members, giving you complete confidence in your investment.

What Our Customers Say
“We had a full set of Cortizo bifold doors and a Korniche roof lantern installed in our new kitchen extension overlooking the valley. The views are spectacular and the quality of the aluminium frames is outstanding. Vitrum managed the whole installation beautifully — on schedule and without a hitch.”
— Mr and Mrs F., Over Norton Road, Chipping Norton
“Our stone cottage on New Street needed replacement windows that would keep the conservation officer happy and actually insulate the house properly. Vitrum specified REHAU sliding sash in a heritage cream and they are perfect — indistinguishable from timber at a glance, but warm, secure, and maintenance-free.”
— Mrs W., New Street, Chipping Norton
“We went with a Gerda steel front door in anthracite after seeing one at a friend’s house in the Cotswolds. It is incredibly solid, beautifully finished, and gives us real confidence in security. The Vitrum team fitted it in a morning and left everything immaculate.”
— Mr R., Chipping Norton
