Aluminum Clad Wood 105 Inwards Casement Tilt and Turn Window
True luxury isn't just about what a window looks like; it's about what it's made of. The Aluminum Clad Wood 105 series is a testament to the power of nature, featuring a premium Cypress wood interior wrapped in an aerospace-grade aluminum shell.
Designed for eco-luxury homes, historic restorations, and premium resorts, this window delivers the warmth of natural timber without the maintenance of traditional wood, while achieving Passive House levels of energy efficiency.
Here is a deep dive into what makes this system extraordinary.
50+ Years of Built-in Protection
Unlike other woods, Cypress contains a natural preservative called thujaplicin. This gives the wood incredible resistance to rot, insects, and moisture for over 50 years—without any chemical treatment. It is the ultimate material for humid, coastal, or tropical environments.
Hand-Finished Artistry
The interior features hand-finished cypress with your choice of distressed or smooth textures. It is paired with a PVDF-coated (AAMA 2605) aluminum exterior available in 15+ premium finishes. The cladding resists fading (ΔE ≤3 after 5000h Xenon test) and corrosion, ensuring the exterior looks pristine for decades.
Thermal & Acoustic Mastery
U-Value 1.0 W/m²K: Achieved through the synergy of 16mm polyamide thermal breaks, a 5mm Low-E + 20mm Argon + 5mm double-glazed unit, and the natural insulation of the cypress core (R-value 1.2 m²K/W).
38dB Noise Reduction: The dense timber and insulated glass create a quiet sanctuary, perfect for urban or resort settings.
Tilt & Turn Function: Tilt inward for safe, draft-free ventilation (ideal for rainy days or child safety), and turn inward 90° for easy exterior cleaning.
Sustainable by Design
We use FSC-certified cypress sourced from responsibly managed forests, paired with 100% recyclable aluminum. All finishes are low-VOC and EN 71-3 compliant, ensuring your indoor air quality is healthy and free from harmful emissions.
Hardware & Glazing Choices
Customizable hardware in solid brass or stainless steel.
Glazing upgrades including laminated glass for extra security or tempered glass for impact resistance.
Luxury Resorts & Coastal Cabanas: Cypress naturally thrives in humid, salty air, making it the perfect choice for beachfront or mountain lodges.
Historic Restorations: Preserve the authentic charm of traditional wooden windows while upgrading to modern durability and thermal efficiency.
Eco-Luxury Homes: Meets the demands of discerning clients seeking sustainable materials without compromising on aesthetics or performance.
Passive House Projects: The U-value of 1.0 W/m²K helps meet rigorous green building standards.
1. Does cypress wood require sealing?
The factory-applied microporous lacquer provides initial protection. However, in extreme climates, we recommend annual resealing to maintain maximum water repellency and longevity.
2. How does cypress compare to cedar?
Cypress has a higher natural resistance to rot and insects (thanks to thujaplicin) and a tighter grain that significantly reduces warping. It is far superior for high-moisture environments.
3. Can the aluminum exterior be painted after installation?
Yes, but we highly recommend the factory-applied PVDF finish for optimal adhesion and durability. Touch-up paints matching the original color are available if needed.
4. What is the advantage of the 16mm polyamide thermal break?
It acts as a powerful bridge to stop heat transfer between the aluminum exterior and the wood interior, significantly improving the window's U-value and reducing energy costs.
