Originally started as a small building company, Affordable Windows and Doors is a family run business who moved into kitchen and bathroom renovations, then added home improvement and full build to the service offer and now has complemented this with window and door fabrication.

Ryan Hunter, Affordable Windows and Doors’ Managing Director explains how they moved into fabricating their own fenestration products, “When we came out of the first lock down in 2020, the demand from customers for home renovation absolutely rocketed, however our fenestration supplier had gone bust, and this was a serious issue for us.

I quickly realised this had left a gap in the local market for a fabricator. We’d always used the highest rated energy efficient windows, so I asked around for recommendations for the best systems house with excellent customer service.

Ryan continued, “Liniar was recommended time and time again, they completely align with our values, they are a breath of fresh air, with fantastic product development and have the edge on environmental initiatives and customer service.”

Affordable Windows and Doors Aberdeen joined Liniar during lockdown, so all the negotiations and set up had to be done virtually. Ryan said, “It was all a bit weird; we’d have liked to do business like this face-to-face. It’s a huge investment for us and we wanted to be confident we were going with the right system.”

With new premises and machinery secured, the setup of Affordable Windows and Doors was straight forward despite the pandemic. Ryan said, “Fabricating windows and doors was a brand-new venture for us and there was a lot more to it than we realised, as a business we were on a steep learning curve, we were lucky to secure a fantastic Head Fabricator and we couldn’t have chosen a better systems house. Liniar has had our back from the very start, they are open and honest and tell us how it is. It's been tough out there, but they have always told the truth about stock levels and what they could do. There had been a couple of times that stock levels were restricted due to raw material shortages, but even though we were pre-warned, Liniar always sorted us out.

“We are currently manufacturing about 50 frames per week but have plenty of capacity to increase to 150. We converted old barns and made sure that as a business, we have room to grow. “

Liniar’s Mike Hobson, Regional Sales Director, commented, “It’s been fantastic to be on the journey with Ryan and Affordable Windows and Doors. They are continuing to go from strength to strength fabricating our 70mm system and I look forward to seeing what their future plans will be.”
