Advantages of wood-aluminium windows
Unlike other window materials, aluminium remains essentially unaffected by the wind and weather. The aluminium shell is impervious to wet and damp, and keeps its good looks for years. In terms of design, there are almost no limits: matt or gloss, in blue, red, grey or gold – the choice of surface finishes is practically infinite. That means you could also combine visually coordinated wooden windows with wood-aluminium windows in your property.
Also note that choosing wood-aluminium windows does not mean you lose out on a natural, comfortable ambience, since the windows are wood on the inside. Meanwhile the wooden frame material ensures the best thermal insulation. For example, the Sorpetaler TF DUO M wood-aluminium model achieves peak energy values (U values) of 1.0 W/m² K with a frame thickness of 78 mm and triple glazing.
Applications
With their attractive, stylish design, wood-aluminium windows are an excellent complement to modern buildings. Their long lifespan, low maintenance requirements, excellent thermal insulation performance and high design versatility make them suitable not only for new-build family homes but also for larger-scale projects. But wood-aluminium windows are also a smart choice for bringing older buildings up to date. Inside, the wood emphasises the charm of an older home, while outside the aluminium provides effective protection against the elements.
Care and maintenance
Thanks to their exterior aluminium shell, wood-aluminium windows are extremely low-maintenance. To preserve the decorative appearance of your wood-aluminium windows, however, they should be cleaned regularly. Usually all that’s required is a sponge or cloth and some warm water with a gentle (non-bleach) cleaning agent, such as ordinary washing-up liquid.
