Alu-clad timber triple glazed windows in Penzance
Alu-clad timber triple glazed windows for homes in Penzance: measured on a free survey, made to order and fitted by installation teams working for us across Cornwall.
Timber inside, aluminium outside, three panes of glass between. 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 Penzance
Winter days in Penzance are short: about 8 h 03 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 16°. 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 England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and 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.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
