Oxford is known the world over for its dreaming spires, but beyond the university colleges lies a city of remarkably diverse housing. From the tightly packed Victorian terraces of Jericho and East Oxford to the generous Edwardian and interwar homes lining the avenues of Summertown and North Oxford, and from the characterful cottages of Iffley Village to modern developments in Barton Park and Headington, no two streets look quite alike. Much of the city centre and its surrounding neighbourhoods fall within conservation areas, meaning that any changes to windows and doors need careful consideration. Whether you are restoring a period property with sympathetic sash windows or opening up a rear extension with contemporary aluminium bifold doors, choosing the right glazing makes a real difference to comfort, energy bills, and the long-term value of your Oxford home.
Windows & Doors We Install in Oxford
We supply and install a comprehensive range of aluminium and uPVC windows and doors to suit every style of Oxford property. Whether your project calls for the slim sightlines of modern aluminium or the proven thermal performance of uPVC, we carry products from leading manufacturers and fit everything to the highest 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
Aluminium is the natural choice for homeowners who want maximum glass area, minimal frame profiles, and a long maintenance-free lifespan. Our aluminium range is particularly popular across Oxford for rear extensions, orangeries, and full-height glazing where views and natural light are the priority.
- Bifold doors — Ideal for connecting kitchens and living spaces to Oxford’s courtyard gardens. Available in configurations from two to seven panels, with ultra-slim Cortizo profiles that maximise the opening.
- Sliding doors — A sleek alternative to bifolds where floor space is at a premium. Smooth inline or lift-and-slide mechanisms, available in two- and three-track options.
- French doors — A classic pairing for period properties, combining traditional proportions with the strength and slimness of aluminium framing.
- Casement windows — Clean, contemporary lines with excellent thermal performance. Top-hung or side-hung, with a wide choice of RAL colours to complement any facade.
- Slimline roof lanterns — Flood flat-roof extensions and kitchen diners with overhead natural light. Our Korniche lanterns feature market-leading slim ridges and rapid installation.
- 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

uPVC Windows & Doors
For many Oxford homes, particularly Victorian and Edwardian terraces where the original windows were timber sashes, high-quality uPVC offers outstanding energy efficiency, security, and value. Our REHAU profile systems are multi-chambered for superior insulation and are available in a wide range of woodgrain foils and heritage colours.
- Casement windows — The versatile all-rounder. Fully sculptured or chamfered profiles, internally beaded for security, and A-rated as standard.
- Sliding sash windows — Purpose-designed to replicate the look of traditional timber sashes. Features include run-through horns, deep bottom rails, and a choice of Georgian bar styles — an excellent option for Oxford conservation areas where planners require a sympathetic appearance.
- French doors — Wide-opening access to patios and gardens, with low thresholds and multi-point locking.
- Single doors — durable side and utility 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
Brand we install: REHAU
Entrance Doors
First impressions count, and the front door is where they start. We offer three distinct entrance door ranges, each engineered for security, insulation, and lasting kerb appeal.
- Palladio composite doors — Monocoque construction with a fibreglass skin that will not warp, crack, or discolour. A premium choice for Oxford’s period properties, with traditional panel and glazing designs.
- Dynamic composite doors — A cost-effective composite option with a solid timber core, available in a wide palette of colours and styles.
- Gerda steel doors — RC3 security rated and thermally broken. Increasingly popular for Oxford homeowners who want the ultimate in front door security without compromising on style.
- Aluminium front doors — premium aluminium entrance doors combining bold contemporary design with outstanding security and thermal performance
Why Oxford Homeowners Choose Vitrum
- Conservation area expertise — Oxford has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas in the country. We understand the planning considerations involved and can advise on products that meet local authority requirements, including heritage-style sliding sash windows and sympathetically designed entrance doors.
- Solutions for every property type — Oxford’s housing stock spans centuries. Whether you live in a narrow Victorian terrace in Jericho, a 1930s semi in Headington, or a contemporary new-build in Barton Park, we carry the right product for the job and will never try to sell you something that does not suit your home.
- Energy efficiency where it matters most — Older Oxford properties are often among the least energy-efficient. Upgrading to A-rated double glazing with modern multi-chambered profiles and warm-edge spacer bars can significantly reduce heat loss, lower energy bills, and improve comfort throughout the year.
- Premium guarantees you can trust — Every installation is backed by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, with aluminium frames guaranteed for 25 years. We are FENSA registered and CPA members, so your investment is fully protected.

What Our Customers Say
“We had bifold doors and a roof lantern fitted to our kitchen extension in Summertown. The Cortizo frames are incredibly slim and the amount of light we now get is transformational. The fitting team were punctual, tidy, and clearly knew what they were doing. Very happy with the whole experience.”
— Mr and Mrs T., Summertown, Oxford
“Vitrum replaced all the windows in our Victorian terrace in East Oxford with REHAU sliding sash. They look exactly like the originals but the difference in warmth and noise reduction is night and day. The conservation officer had no objections at all.”
— Dr L., East Oxford
“After getting several quotes for a new composite front door, we went with Vitrum for the Palladio range. The door is solid, beautifully finished, and was fitted in a single morning. Would recommend without hesitation.”
— Mrs K., Headington, Oxford
