Composite Windows
If you’re looking to install new windows at your property, then you have a range of options when it comes to materials. Composite windows are an increasingly popular choice, combining attractive designs and finishes with excellent performance and extended durability. Composite windows provide improved durability, energy efficiency, and overall appearance when compared to windows made from a single material.
By combining two different materials, composite windows have hybrid properties that have key advantages over other types of windows. The best composite windows can outperform other types of windows, in terms of insulation and long-term performance.
What are composite windows made from?
Composite windows will typically consist of materials such as wood, aluminium, and UPVC, but the exact composition can vary. Composite window frames will typically be made of wood or UPVC and clad externally with a powder-coated aluminium profile. These highly durable, aluminium-clad windows are a stylish and practical alternative to UPVC or timber windows.
Composite windows are available in an extensive range of colour finishes, enabling you to choose windows that match your tastes and preferences.
Why choose composite windows?
Composite windows have several advantages compared to other options. They are highly durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions better than windows that are made from a single material.

How do you maintain composite windows?
