Alu-clad timber triple glazed windows in Moray
We survey and fit alu-clad timber triple glazed windows across Moray, from Elgin and Forres to smaller towns such as Lossiemouth.
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.

Rules in Scotland
Scotland requires replacement windows to achieve 1.6 W/m²K, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. 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
You will know exactly what you are buying: the quote states the unit build-up, frame, finish, fitting work and how Building Regulations compliance is handled. On fitting day each opening is replaced and closed up before the team moves on.

Questions
How long do alu-clad windows take to make?
Typically 8 to 12 weeks from survey, sometimes longer for big projects.
Is alu-clad timber worth the extra cost?
It is for many self-builders and people planning to stay for decades, because the outside needs almost no upkeep and the timber inside looks warm. For a quick replacement on a typical semi, uPVC or aluminium give better value.
Do alu-clad windows suit Passivhaus builds?
Many alu-clad systems are designed for low-energy homes. If you need Passive House Institute certified components, ask and we will price systems that hold that certification.
Do you cover all of Moray?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Moray.
Do I need permission for alu-clad timber triple glazed windows in Scotland?
In Scotland, replacement windows on houses are widely permitted development since May 2024, with front elevations expected to match closely; listed buildings need consent.
