Timber | Wood Look Aluminium Windows
Overview
Wood look aluminium windows are designed to meet aesthetic demands for natural wood appearance, offering the rich texture and classic appeal of timber while utilizing advanced aluminium as the core material. This innovative finish allows homeowners and architects to achieve a warm, inviting look without compromising on modern styling options.
Aluminium profile has become the preferred material for high-quality window and door systems due to its remarkable strength, durability, and stability. Supported by proven sealing and thermal insulation technologies, wood look aluminium windows provide outstanding energy efficiency and long-lasting performance, making them an ideal solution for contemporary construction projects.
There are two main methods for creating wood look aluminium profiles: wood grain transfer printing (thermal transfer) and wood grain film lamination (cold lamination). Additionally, aluminium-wood clad profiles are also available, featuring aluminium on one side and real wood on the other.
Wood Grain Transfer Aluminium Window Profiles (Thermal Transfer)
Wood grain transfer (thermal transfer) is a popular and reliable method for creating wood-patterned aluminium window profiles, especially for large-scale production.
In this process, the aluminium frame is first coated with a light base color. A special wood grain film is wrapped around the profile, and then the frame is heated. The wood pattern from the film is transferred and permanently fixed to the aluminium surface. A clear protective coating is applied to improve durability.
This method produces aluminium window frames with a realistic wood appearance, strong color consistency, and high resistance to fading, scratches, and weather. It is widely used for both interior and exterior window applications.
Wood Grain Film Lamination Aluminium Window Profiles (Cold Lamination)
Wood grain film lamination, also known as cold lamination, is a straightforward and economical technique for producing wood-patterned aluminium window profiles, particularly suitable for small-scale production. This method is often chosen for interior windows where exposure to harsh weather is limited and a natural wood appearance is desired.
The process involves cleaning the aluminium window frame, applying adhesive, and pressing a pre-printed PVC or PET wood grain film onto the surface. The adhesive is then cured at room or low temperature, and any excess film is trimmed for a neat finish.
Wood grain film lamination allows for flexible design changes and lower production costs, making it ideal for residential and commercial interior window applications. However, compared to other methods, it offers lower resistance to heat and scratches, and the film may gradually peel with frequent use or in more demanding environments.
Thermal Break Wood Grain Aluminium Window Profiles
Thermal break wood grain aluminium window profiles are highly regarded for their superior insulation performance. These window profiles consist of two separate aluminium sections connected by a thermal barrier, typically made from a polyamide insulation strip. This design effectively reduces heat transfer between the interior and exterior, improving energy efficiency and comfort in living spaces.
A key benefit of thermal break profiles for windows is the ability to apply different surface treatments on each side of the frame. The exterior can be coated with a weather-resistant finish to complement the building’s façade, while the interior can be finished with a wood grain effect, bringing a warm and natural appearance to the room.
Aluminium-Clad Wood Window Profiles
Aluminium-clad wood window profiles combine the warmth and elegance of natural wood with the durability and low maintenance of aluminium. These profiles feature a wood core on the interior facing the room, creating a comfortable and visually appealing environment, while the exterior is wrapped in an aluminium shell for superior protection against weather, corrosion, and UV radiation.
This dual-material construction allows the window’s interior and exterior to be customized independently. The interior wood can maintain a classic or modern natural finish, while the exterior aluminium can be powder coated or anodized in a variety of colors to match the building’s façade. The aluminium cladding also makes cleaning and upkeep easy, contributing to a longer window lifespan.
Aluminium-clad wood window profiles are widely used in premium residential and commercial projects, offering excellent thermal insulation, design flexibility, and long-term reliability.
Structures of Wood Aluminium Windows
Wood aluminium windows offer various structural options to suit different architectural and functional requirements. The combination of aluminium’s durability and wood’s natural appearance makes these window systems both attractive and practical for modern buildings. The most common wood aluminium window structures include:
