Windows

Alu-clad timber windows

Timber on the inside, aluminium on the façade side. Two frames in one window, each doing a different job.

Residence with a pool, Targanice, 2021

What sets our alu-clad timber windows apart

  1. A durable exterior

    Aluminium is resistant to adverse weather and protects the timber.

  2. Dimensional stability

    Provided by the timber construction on the room side.

  3. 60 months’ guarantee

    On the coating of the aluminium profiles, for installation more than 30 km from the coastline.

  4. Three profile depths

    68, 78 and 92 mm - every profile is also available as alu-clad timber.

Profiles

Alu-clad timber window profiles

The construction stays the same. What changes is the frame depth, and with it the space for the glazing unit.

Production

Made for the house, not for a catalogue

We make all windows and doors to individual order - in the dimensions and divisions that follow from the design of the building.

Detail

Detail and construction of alu-clad timber windows

Two frames, two jobs.

Production in the knowledge section
  • White alu-clad timber window seen from the living room, with a divided toplight, in a residence in Targanice

    Timber inside

    Shapes the interior and provides insulation.

  • Close-up of the brown aluminium cladding of a window beside a divided toplight, from the façade side

    Aluminium outside

    Increases the strength of the window, improves thermal insulation and protects the timber from the weather.

  • Triple glazing unit in the corner of an alu-clad timber window with dark cladding

    Thicker glazing units

    Two frames hold thicker glazing units, which improves thermal insulation and acoustic performance.

Cladding

Three aluminium styles

The cladding determines how the window reads from the façade. Rotate the profile to see it from the room side, from the façade side and in section.

Cladding style

Gemini Classic

Gently profiled outer edge, with a step that shows in the light. Made in depths of 68, 78 and 92 mm.

We show all styles at the same profile depth, 92 mm.

Cladding colours
Colour

Timber colour and aluminium colour

The interior and the façade are finished in two different materials, so their colours are chosen separately.

Façade · aluminium

Cladding colour

The cladding colour is chosen from the Aluron Color Collection 2 palettes. The five collections differ not only in colour but also in surface finish.

  • Aluron RAL MAT fan deck: whites, greys, black, browns, ochre, navy, green and redRAL MAT Smooth matt in RAL colours.
  • Aluron RAL FS fan deck: RAL colours with a fine surface textureRAL FS The same colour families, with a fine texture.
  • Aluron Metallic FS fan deck: silvers, graphites, browns, copper, red, green and blue with a metallic sheenMETALLIC FS Metallic colours.
  • Aluron Anodized and Effect Colors fan deck: champagne, bronze, gold, graphite, olive grey and whiteANODIZED & EFFECT COLORS Champagne, bronze, graphite, white.
  • Aluron Decor Mat fan deck: wood-effect finishes - pine, oak, walnut, teak, bleached wood - and stone decorsDECOR MAT Wood grain and stone surfaces.

The final choice is confirmed on a sample.

Talking about your project

Specification starts with the façade

We agree the cladding style, frame depth and timber species once we understand the architecture and technical requirements of the building.
