Aluminium clad windows give you the best of both worlds – the natural warmth of timber on the inside and the durability of aluminium on the outside. They’re made to last, easy to look after and built for energy efficiency.
Our aluminium clad windows are made from FSC®-certified timber, so you know the wood comes from responsibly managed forests.
To protect against the elements, we use at least 90% heartwood for all exterior-facing surfaces. It’s the most durable part of the tree and naturally resistant to rot and decay.

Why Choose Alu Clad Windows?
Low maintenance
The aluminium exterior protects your windows from rain, wind, and UV damage. You won’t need to sand, paint, or treat the frames over time.
Occasional cleaning with soap and water is enough to keep alu-clad frames looking good all year round.
Great insulation
The solid timber core on the inside provides excellent natural insulation. It helps keep warmth in during winter and heat out during summer.
This means a more comfortable living space and lower energy bills all year round.
Built for strength
Aluminium is a tough, stable material that adds strength to the window frame. It resists warping, cracking, and bending, offering long-term reliability and security.
Even in harsh weather conditions, these windows stay solid and perform as they should.
Slim and modern
The slim aluminium profiles create a clean, modern look that works with almost any home style.
Whether you’re building new or upgrading an older property, you get more natural light, better views, and a sharp, architectural finish.
IdealCombi Alu Clad Windows
Combi Frame aluminium cladded timber window
Aluminium clad windows was the first attempt to extend the lifespan and minimise maintenance required of the traditional timber windows.
And it worked very well – the aluminium profiles made it possible to have durable powder coated RAL or sable colours or even anodised aluminium finishes.
Idealcombi Contura alu clad window
Although the aluminium cladding minimised maintenance and extended the lifespan it did not add any thermal benefits to the design.
Idealcombi therefore invented the first generation of alu composite windows with a thermal break allowing better energy performance while maintaining the durable aluminium cladding and the internal warm to the touch timber.
The external aluminium profile protected the timber construction against the weather and did significantly reduce the need for maintenance.
With drainage holes in the aluminium profiles water was efficiently led away from any wooden part of the window.
The drainage, however, had a tendency do block over time and cause standing water in the aluminium – this could lead water to the timber and cause rot.
