Type of window profile

Depending on the style you want inside and outside the building, you have to decide on the appropriate profile.

When choosing a window profile you must also take the weather conditions into account. In the case of harsh weather conditions you can choose alu-clad timber windows, which will provide effective protection of the timber against bad weather. An aluminium profile on the outer side of the window frame will extend the life of the window and mean that the timber will not require additional special maintenance.
