Bespoke Alu-Clad Windows

Alu-clad windows are a union of natural timber warmth and robust aluminium protection, offering a window that is as practical as it is beautiful. At Spittlywood, we design and build bespoke alu-clad windows that bring the character of traditional woodwork to your home without the demands of regular upkeep. Each window has a solid timber interior for natural insulation and lasting appeal, paired with a precision-formed aluminium exterior that shields against the elements for decades.

Made by skilled joiners in our Kent workshop using CNC engineering and careful hand finishing, every alu-clad window is built to perform across all seasons while complementing the character of your property.

Make it yours

In design and application

Versatility In Design
The wood and aluminium system combines engineering, aesthetic range and sustainable performance:

Adaptable to your architecture

The alu-clad system offers a broad selection of designs and finishes, so it suits a range of architectural styles. Whether you want a sleek modern look or something more traditional, the windows can be made to fit.

Wood inside, aluminium outside

The aluminium exterior gives weather resistance and durability, while the timber interior gives natural insulation and the appearance of real wood in the room.

Finishes

Factory Finishes
Our finishes are done in house and we offer the following:

Opaque finishes

These coatings provide a flawless, uniform look in any shade. They offer maximum protection by blocking UV rays and sealing out moisture to prevent fading and timber movement.

Translucent finishes

Designed to showcase the wood’s natural grain and texture, these finishes provide a warm, organic aesthetic while maintaining a durable, weather-resistant shield.

RAL and custom colours

Choose from 147 standard colours or opt for our colour-matching service to RAL, British Standard, or NCS charts for a truly bespoke finish.

Factory finished

Every item is coated in a controlled factory environment before delivery. This ensures even coverage and superior adhesion for a professional, long-lasting result that on-site painting can’t match.

Glazing

Sash Glazing
We offer the following glazing options:

Standard double glazing

Unless a client requests an alternative specification, our joinery is typically supplied with 24 mm double-glazed units filled with Argon gas. In a unit of this thickness, alternative gases do not offer any meaningful improvement to thermal performance, so Argon represents the most effective and sensible choice in terms of insulation, reliability, and value.

Slim heritage units

For heritage properties or conservation areas with strict planning requirements, we offer slim double-glazed units. These are filled with Krypton gas, which performs more effectively than Argon in thinner cavities. This allows us to maintain slender, authentic profiles without sacrificing the thermal performance needed for a comfortable living environment.

Specialist and triple glazing

We offer a range of advanced glazing solutions for specific project needs. This includes triple glazing for superior acoustic and thermal insulation, as well as cutting-edge vacuum glazing. For those seeking an authentic period look, we can provide double-glazed units with drawn glass to recreate the subtle, classic distortions found in historic windows.
