Our stunning aluminium clad timber French doors offer the combined benefits of timber and aluminium. The time-tested performance of timber provides strong energy-efficiency as well as warmth and character on the interior of your home. Outside, a tough aluminium shell offers excellent weather resistance protecting the timber. That means little upkeep and no regular repainting for you. Each side is individually customisable with a variety of colours, stains and finishes for a bespoke solution to your needs.
Why Aluminium Cladding & Timber?
Alu-clad timber French doors are made of solid wood frames with large glass panes. Additionally, they feature an aluminium shell mounted on the exterior surface. This means that the timber frame is visible on the interior while the exterior face is entirely covered by metal. The advantages of this configuration are:
- Unmatched elegance inside and out
- Excellent thermal insulation compared to either material alone
- Fantastic durability by combining two highly resilient materials
- Great torsional rigidity and warp-resistance when opening or closing
- Very low maintenance requirements
While the price of common uPVC seems attractive compared to higher end models such as these, this is a classic case of getting what you pay for. Spread over multiple decades, our aluminium clad timber systems will still be saving you energy costs, upkeep costs and replacement costs well into the future giving them an excellent price-performance ratio. Inexpensive domestic alternatives will last half the time and never stop costing you.
