Combi Alu is a range of outward opening aluminium and timber composite windows and doors based on a Scandinavian design, with an overall frame depth of either 100, 115, 130 or 145mm (priced as 115mm as standard)

‘Domestic’ and ‘project’
Aluminium and timber composite windows are now specified on a much more regular basis across the construction industry due to the attractiveness of not only a maintenance free solution, but also for improved thermal, acoustic and aesthetics over all aluminium alternatives. These factors make it a very popular choice on many large projects for commercial and residential use, but now also a lot more regularly for domestic use on individual homes for both new build and renovation. With enhanced security options to provide compliance to Secured by Design, to many optional accessories for safety or comfort, this system caters for the whole market, and is available at a very competitive price.

If you are looking for a Aluminium and timber system but require better overall u-values and / or acoustics then the style 68 Alu (and Alu+), thermo 80 Alu (and Alu+) and the Elit 92 Alu (and Alu+) offer outstanding solutions for your project.

Finish as delivered
Frames are supplied pre-assembled, pre-glazed and beautifully finished with a full factory coating from a wide range of stains or paints or lacquer internally. The aluminium externally is finished in either a polyester powder coating (PPC) or anodised finish. For the PPC the standard RAL classic range is included in the pricing we provide. There are approximately 250 different colours available and there is no set-up charge for any of these colours. We can also offer a number of specialist powder coatings including textured and metallic finishes. If you have a specific requirement for the aluminium then please contact us to discuss – there are many other types of coatings on the market that we will be happy to look into, although there must be a reasonable quantity of products (i.e. for project work), and also a set up cost.

All paints and stains that we are using internally are water based micro-porous products from Akzo-Nobel. Click on the information TAB and then finishes at the top of the page to view a sample of the range available. Actual timber samples are sent out upon receipt of order to help assist in the correct colour choice for your project. Factory applied paint finishes from the RAL classic range (approx 250 colours), or the NCS range (approx 2000 colours) can be used internally.

Glazing
Alu combi-timber products are externally beaded with a drained and ventilated design to ensure maximum life expectancy.

Double-glazed units 4–20-4mm with soft-coat low-e and Argon gas filling come as standard with a centre-pane u-value of 1.0W/m2K (overall glass and frame approx 1.5W/m2K). Where safety glass is required the panes can simply become toughened, or a laminated pane could be added for enhanced safety and security.

In addition, specialist glazed units incorporating acoustic, solar control and self-cleaning are available, as well as sandblasted or decorative obscure glass for extra privacy.

Glazing bars
Structural bars know as transoms (horizontal) or mullions (vertical) are use to separate 2 pieces of glass in either a fixed or an opening light, and also as the structural element between an opener and a fixed when built into 1 frame.

Transoms and mullions on the Alu-combi system are 66mm.

Multiple transoms and mullions can be built into 1 frame to create multiple-pane effects to your design requirements, as can decorative glazing bars….

The Decorative glazing bars available for the Alu-combi system are within the sealed unit, but without internal or externally planted bars.
