FAQs about cladding wooden windows with aluminium in renovations
Benefits, installation, costs – in this section we answer questions about retrofitting aluminium cladding to wooden windows.
With the practical renovation systems RENOVA and Holz Plus from BUG, wooden windows can be quickly retrofitted and permanently converted into elegant wood-aluminium windows. With Holz Plus aluminium window cladding, the profiles must be cut to size before installation. The RENOVA system is supplied fully welded.
The mitre-cut aluminium profiles from BUG are attached to the outside of the wooden frame with plastic clips. Simply clip the cover frame onto the wooden frame. That’s it.
BUG’s aluminium cladding offers protection from the elements and therefore has a longer life than plain wooden windows. Windows do not need to be painted. When renovating, there is no need to replace the wooden windows and the masonry is not damaged. This means less dirt and time is saved. BUG’s renovation systems also increase the value of your property.
Wooden windows with aluminium cladding are particularly durable. With good care and maintenance, they last an average of 40 to 50 years. It is recommended that regular maintenance is carried out once a year by a competent specialist. The combination of a sturdy wooden frame on the inside and a weatherproof aluminium shell on the outside protects the wood from environmental influences such as rain, UV rays and temperature fluctuations. This makes the window more durable and requires less maintenance than all wooden windows. The aluminium shell ensures that the windows remain appealing and functional for many years to come.
There are a number of costs to consider when retrofitting a wooden window with aluminium cladding, which may vary depending on the size and design of the window and local conditions. The most important cost factors are:
- Cost of aluminium profiles
- Time required for preparation and installation
- Any additional costs for previous repairs to the wooden windows plus any costs for site equipment such as scaffolding
Overall, the costs per window can vary considerably depending on the factors mentioned.
