Alu-clad timber windows · Angus and Dundee
Alu-clad timber triple glazed windows in Forfar
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle alu-clad timber triple glazed windows for homes in Forfar and the rest of Angus and Dundee.
The low-upkeep, high-performance frame many self-builders choose. Alu-clad (aluminium-clad) timber windows have a structural timber frame inside and a powder-coated aluminium cladding outside, glazed with a three-pane unit.
Winter light and glass choice in Forfar
Winter days in Forfar are short: about 6 h 48 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 10°. That low angle reaches deep into south-facing rooms, so we match the glass to each elevation rather than using one spec for the whole house.

Rules for alu-clad timber windows in Scotland
In Scotland, replacement windows must meet 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a window or door, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Planning: Since May 2024, replacement windows on houses are widely permitted development, including in many conservation areas, with front elevations expected to match the existing closely; your council tells you if prior notification applies. Flats outside conservation areas generally need permission only if the opening size changes. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
