WHY CHOOSE OUR ALU CLAD WINDOWS?

Alu Clad windows are windows that are made by combining 2 of the most versatile materials used for windows production – timber and aluminium. This modern glazing solution gives you a warm, slim timber look on the inside, while the aluminium skin on the outside further protects the window from our ever-changing Irish weather and enhances the overall security of the window.

These slim, flush design windows are factory finished in any of the 200+ RAL colours.

All our Aluclad windows are factory protected by design from harsh weathering damage, removing the need for the conservation of timber profiles. They will remain as good as they were the day they were installed. They don’t flake, peel, rust or rot due to the weather treatment method and special finish.

The use of finest quality, certified materials, our manufacturing expertise, and our world-class manufacturing plant allows our windows to be delivered in exceptionally large formats, making DK Windows and Doors a trusted partner across architects, builders, and private customers for the past 20 years.

While thermal performance of the windows and doors is important and always delivered to suit project requirements, our A-rated premium glazing specified as standard at DK Windows & Doors can achieve more than that. Soundproofing of our windows helps you create a quiet space to relax at home by creating restful environments, reducing health risks coming from noise pollution of busy world we live in today.
