Miglas timber & AliClad windows’ main component is timber.
- Advanced thermal performance (low conduction)
- Warm beauty of natural timber
- Environmentally friendly product
The timber Miglas use is harvested from sustainable managed forests in Victoria. This keeps transport emission to a minimum and helps the environment. The timber has the Australian Forestry Standard certificate for sustainable managed resource and is recognised by the European standard PEFC.
The Victorian Ash hardwood makes the frame thermally efficient & eco-friendly and means a striking reduction in CO2 emission.
Miglas AliClad windows have a timber interior with compressed gaskets to reduce the conduction through the frame for improved comfort.
The timber is moulded and pre-treated before assembly. The pre-treatment impregnation ensure s that the timber maintains its look and allows you to choose an individual finish. No rotting or fungal decay.
Sustainable timer that combines warm look with comfort.
Besides the sustainable Victorian Ash hardwood Miglas is able to provide FSC or FSC recycled timber. Please be aware that additional time and costs might occur and that at the moment no chain of custody certification is available.
The physical properties make timber a good insulator. The rating does not reflect this advantage and the U Value is lowered when the frame is thicker. We are not able to change the rating simulation rules.
A thicker insulator will improve the insulation.
Miglas AliClad series' main component is timber - the low conductive frame component.
Conductivity (k) is the ability of a material to transfer heat.
| Aluminium | 237k |
| Timber | 0.004k – 0.04k |
| Glass | 1.1k |
| The lower the k the better the insulation ability. | |
The higher the temperature difference on both sides of the material the more relevant the thermal conductivity.
Miglas AliClad suite main component is timber – the low conductive frame component.
