Naturo 68 ALU

Naturo 68 ALU combines the natural beauty of timber with contemporary aluminium cladding, which protects the profiles and gives them a minimal look suited to modern architecture.

Indoors you keep the pleasure of timber windows: a material close to the hand that makes rooms warm and welcoming. Outside, the windows read as aluminium systems and can be powder coated in the vivid tones of the Aluron palette.

Choice of materials

Timber laminated in three or four layers is more stable than solid wood, does not move with humidity and allows arches and curved shapes.

Solid timberSolid timberSolid pineNo visible joints, long sections free of natural defects, made for clear varnishes that show the grain
Finger-jointed laminated timberFinger-jointed laminateFinger-jointed pineDefect-free sections joined end to end by finger joints: maximum stability, ideal for opaque finishes

SKLO technical note: above a 3 m opening, or with strong sun exposure, we recommend 80 mm laminate — the dimensional stability is worth the extra cost

Glazing bars

They give a window character and echo classical architecture. We choose the type according to the look you want and the energy performance required.
