Composite windows are the modern, energy-efficient and sustainable way to do windows. Unlike traditional uPVC casement windows, composite windows have a high-quality timber core and a coating of durable, weatherproof aluminium, making them a long-lasting, energy-efficient and more sustainable option.
We are Norfolk’s distributor for Rationel, founded in Denmark in 1954 and the leading manufacturer of composite windows and doors in Europe. The Aura range is Rationel’s modern-look window suitable for both new builds and renovations. For a more traditional or heritage style composite window see their Forma range.
Which Aura window is right for you? This depends on the level of durability that you want from your frames. While the Aura frame has an impressive 60 year life expectancy, Aura Plus has an incredible 83 year life expectancy, ensuring your windows will withstand the test of time. For exposed locations and coastal areas in particular the Aura Plus’ protective aluminium cladding is well worth the investment. See the table below for a more detailed comparison.

|---|---|---|
| Frame Composition | Solid Wood Frame | Solid timber frame externally clad in aluminium |
| Life Expectancy | 60 years | 83 years |
| Glazing Options | Double or triple | Double or triple |
| Colour Options | Over 200 colours | Over 200 colours |
| Free Dual Colour Options* | No | Yes (*Standard colour range) |

A great window for modern and contemporary homes.
Aura and Aura Plus windows feature a sleek, flat frame with clean lines and a flush finish, adding a touch of Scandi-style to every room.
The chop samples here show an in-depth look into the inner workings of the windows and also give an idea of the visual difference between the Aura and the Aura Plus.
Because the whole frame is aluminium-clad, the Aura Plus achieves a cleaner more minimalist finish with fewer visible joins.
Aura frames come in a wide selection of colours. The options displayed here are the standard colour range available for both Aura and Aura Plus. More colour options are available – We will show you a swatch at the quote stage as screen colours will vary.
It is also worth noting that should you wish to change the colour of your Aura windows in the future this is possible for both Aura and Aura Plus.
Aura windows are made of timber and can be painted directly, and Aura Plus windows have an aluminium-clad exterior which can be changed without altering the timber core.
