Composite Aluminium / Timber Windows

Creating sustainable, energy efficient buildings is the cornerstone of most architectural designs. That is why Duration Windows is now offering a new range of Duratherm composite windows. They combine the advantages, long life and low maintenance of aluminium externally - with all the warmth and natural beauty of timber internally.

These composite windows are environmentally friendly and fully compliant with BS ENISO 9001, BS EN ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards. Designed and manufactured within the UK, they are made from 100% PEFC UK accredited timber and 100% recyclable aluminium. That’s wood accredited by The Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. They are thermally efficient and exceed all current standards, making them an ideal solution for both new-build and refurbishment projects. It’s the best of both worlds.

Internally, this Hybrid system features either natural or painted timber. There is a choice between either natural spruce or traditional oak woods, or spruce timber painted in a large range of water based paints. Externally, it comes in a choice of polyester powder painted aluminium - virtually any RAL colour in either a gloss, satin or matt finish. A silver anodised external finish is also available. 

There is a wide selection of hardware options, including advanced security options, performance tested to BS7950.  These windows are highly thermally efficient, achieving fantastic U values inline with the current building regulations and excellent weather ratings in accordance with the requirements of British Standards. 

The Duratherm range is renowned for combining strong sustainability benefits with proven, effective design innovations.


Edit: Please note we no longer offer this product due to a lack of interest and commercial viability (i.e. they were very expensive). Although we no longer sell this product we would recommend a visit to the website of 'The Greener Window Company' who continue to sell composite windows.
