MATERIAL CHOICES

When considering material for windows and doors, Kloeber can offer expert advice

Choosing a frame material can be confusing as there is a huge variety of options available. Market leader Kloeber offers a wide range of doors and windows in timber, aluminium and aluclad, and their technical sales team can advise you on what might be best for your project.

Timber has great insulation properties and works well with both contemporary and period-style homes. Kloeber offers pine, meranti and oak timber options. Each of these has to achieve a minimum density and specific moisture content to guarantee the correct strength and longevity of the material.

Kloeber only uses engineered timber, which is where smaller strips of solid timber are laminated and glued together to form larger sections, ready to be cut to size. Engineered timber is stronger, more stable and higher quality, offering improved performance with the same look and feel of solid timber.

All of Kloeber’s timber products are FSC® certified (FSC® C101873); a scheme which helps take care of the world’s forests, so if you are looking for a sustainable option this could be the perfect choice for you. What’s more, not only does timber offer a warm, soft aesthetic, it also achieves excellent U values — keeping the heat in and the cold out. It’s a great energy-efficient option for all properties, especially eco extensions and new builds.

Kloeber uses a multi-coat, microporous paint system to ensure a flawless, low-maintenance finish.you can choose from over 200 RAL colours or a selection of wood stains. They also offer a dual colour option, which allows you to match the colour of your door, or window frames with the interior and exterior of your home.
