Going Direct For Full Ali Range

Direct Trade (Yorkshire) now manufactures the full Stellar Aluminium range, with particular demand for products such as the Stellar Aluminium inline sliding door.

This particular product is valued for its low sightlines and expansive glazing options. Direct Trade is also seeing increasing interest in the heritage casement window, which combines classic aesthetics with modern performance.

Joe Leeming, Stellar Aluminium’s key account manager says:  Direct Trade’s decision to switch to Stellar reflects the strength of the system’s credentials. With full Part L compliance, fabrication efficiency and modern aesthetics, it’s everything today’s market demands.”

 

Direct Trade (Yorkshire)

Direct Trade is one of the UK’s largest trade-only fabricators. It has reported exceptional uptake for Stellar Aluminium since adding the system to its product portfolio in August 2022. The decision to switch to Stellar marked a strategic move away from what would be considered other traditional aluminium systems, driven by Stellar’s status as a complete Part L compliant window and door solution.

Mark Powell, the company’s ales director says: “With the 2022 changes to building regulations, we needed a complete aluminium window and door system that was Part L compliant by design. Stellar Aluminium was well ahead of the curve when it came to its U-values and compliance, so it was an easy decision for us to make. It also offers a level of design flexibility and installation simplicity that is impressive.

“Order volumes have continued to climb and exhibiting at FIT 2025 generated strong interest in the new Stellar heritage window and rebated casement window, further evidence that the system is resonating with our customers and potential new business.”

“Stellar is as straightforward to work with as PVC-U, which was also important to us. The knock-in pre-gasketed beads make it incredibly installer-friendly and the five-day turnaround, including all standard RAL colours, means we can maintain our competitive three-week lead times without compromise.”
