Ecoclad windows
High performance timber/alu-clad windows
'Ecoclad windows offer an environmentally responsible solution to low maintenance window specification.
FSC 100% certified laminated Redwood is used for all products. Made using three layers of laminated timber and cut using the latest European precision tools to create a highly stable, engineered product.
Ultra-efficient double or triple glazing offers centre pane U- values of 1.2.W/m2K and 0.6W/m2K respectively. Argon gas fill and low E coating work to save energy, increase comfort and keep heating costs down.
Optional exterior ventilated aluminium cladding system. The cladding gives complete protection from wear and tear caused by the elements and is the answer to maintenance issues for larger and taller buildings.
Optional ‘warm edge’ spacers are available to help reduce heat loss and condensation at the edge of the glazing unit that can be caused by conventional metallic spacer bars. Instead an optional insulated spacer manufactured from high performance polymers is used.
Espagnolette locking handles as standard.
Timber finishes are water based and microporous, producing a long lasting finish that doesn't crack or peel. A wide choice of finish colour is available on both timber and aluminium cladding.'
