Rules for alu-clad timber windows in England
In England, replacement windows must meet 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.
Before ordering: 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.

Questions from Salisbury
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.
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.
