Composite windows & doors - Aluminium and Timber

Aluminium on the outside, timber inside

Composite windows and doors have aluminium on the outside and timber on the inside. They combine quality, beauty and practicality in one package. Aluminium and timber combination promotes ease of maintenance on the outside and warm, beautiful timber on the inside. Aluminium's durable nature eliminates exterior maintenance and performance issues such as sanding and painting, timber shrinkage, swelling and warping. Composite windows and doors accommodate both single and double glazing.

Manufacturing process

High performance adhesives bond the timber and aluminium profiles together to create the required structural integrity. This improves on the traditional method of joining timber and aluminium with screws. When timber or aluminium moves, from either drying or temperature fluctuations, screws can fail. High performance adhesives provide a connection many times stronger than other forms of bonding.

Solid timber windows & doors

Windows and door products made of solid timber are both timeless and popular. These products combine warmth with stability and long life. Timber is a superior building material offering architects, designers, builders and consumers unsurpassed natural beauty with outstanding environmental benefits.
