ALUMINIUM-PVC COMBINATION

Aluminium-clad
PVC window

Aluminium outside, PVC inside. The facade gets a metal look, the structure stays PVC, and the price is between the two: more than plain PVC, but appreciably less than full aluminium.

What this is

Not an aluminium window, and not a plain PVC one either

Aluminium cover shell on the PVC profile, section

An aluminium cover shell goes onto the outer face of the PVC profile. This is not paint and not foil but a separate component that clips onto the profile.

From the outside you see an aluminium window: sharp edges, a metal surface, any colour. Inside, though, the PVC profile does the work, with its own thermal insulation.

In price it also sits between the two: the aluminium shell is a surcharge on a plain PVC window, while a full aluminium window is significantly more expensive than this. For most residential buildings this is therefore the sensible choice.

The system can be ordered on the Kömmerling 76 and the Kömmerling 88 profile alike, so you decide on the thermal insulation and on the cover shell separately. If a full metal structure is the aim, that is the aluminium window; if you want timber inside, then it is timber-aluminium.

When you replace a window the installation runs the same way: we take out the old one, we fit the new one, and we give a 5-year guarantee on the installation. We fit shading in the same visit.

Why people choose it

Four reasons we hear at surveys

🎨

Free choice of colour

The aluminium shell can be ordered in practically any colour; the foil range is no constraint. Stainless-steel effect, light blue, anthracite: all of them are possible.

📐

Flush-closing surface

On the AluClip Pro version the sash and the frame lie in one plane on the outside, with no protruding sash edge. With the window closed you see a single continuous surface, which gives a far calmer facade.

☀️

A more durable exterior

It is the aluminium that resists the sun and the weather, not the PVC surface. On a south-facing facade this shows up in the service life.

💰

Below the price of aluminium

The cover shell carries a surcharge compared with plain PVC, but it is considerably cheaper than a full aluminium window. You get the same look on the facade, for less.

What the difference is

Frequently asked questions

What most people ask

How much more expensive is it than a plain PVC window?
The aluminium shell carries a surcharge, the size of which depends on the size of the unit and on the version chosen. After the survey you see it on a separate line in the quote, so that you can compare it with the foil-laminated version.
Is it the same as an aluminium window?
No. Here the load-bearing structure is PVC and the aluminium is only the outer cladding. A full aluminium window is a different product, with a different price and different thermal solutions.
Aluminium on the inside as well?
No, inside the PVC profile remains, usually in white. That is cheaper and keeps the room lighter.
What colours can it be ordered in?
The aluminium shell can be coloured practically freely; the foil range is no constraint. We agree the exact colour and its surcharge at the survey.
Can it be fitted to an existing window afterwards?
No. The cover shell is part of the profile system and goes on during manufacturing, so it has to be decided when the window is ordered.
How much does it cost?
On top of the price of a plain PVC window comes the surcharge for the aluminium shell, which depends on the size of the unit and on the version chosen. You see it on a separate line in the quote, so you can compare it with the foil-laminated version. A full aluminium window is significantly more expensive than this.
Which system can it be ordered on?
For the Kömmerling 76 and the Kömmerling 88 system alike. We describe the difference between the two on their own pages.
