Alu-Clad Passivhaus Windows
The Passivhaus building standard represents true energy efficiency, comfort and affordability, a tried and tested construction concept that can be applied by anyone, anywhere.
Developed specifically for the growing UK Passivhaus market, we’re proud to present these cost-effective Alu-Clad Passivhaus Windows, engineered from aluminium clad timber.
These windows combine all the natural style of timber internally with the practical ease of maintenance of external aluminium cladding. Side-hinged, they offer a choice of inward opening styles – either tilt only or tilt and turn.
With first-rate performance for air and water tightness, this window system is certified and compliant with the German Passivhaus Institute standards.
