We did exactly this last summer - opened up the back and suddenly those thick old frames looked ridiculous. Aluminium was the obvious choice for us too, mainly for the sightlines. Shopped around and went with a specialist slim frame aluminium windows who understood what we were after. They showed us different profile widths and helped pick a finish that didn't clash with the brick. Installers were careful, didn't scratch anything, and the view is now unobstructed. Kids love watching the garden from the kitchen now. Only thing: don't rush the colour choice - test samples first.
