Window design
The design consists of the combination of sash profile and glazing bars.
Frame/sash profile
In VELFAC Ribo wood/aluminum, the fixed and opening functions look different. The fixed consist of a slim frame profile only, while the opening functions consist of a wider frame/sash profile.
If you want the same looks throughout the project, a fixed casement can be supplied in stead of the fixed light.
You can also choose between 3-layer and 2-layer glazing.
Mullions and transoms
The frame can be divided with mullions and transoms. This gives the option of different opening functions in the same element.
Glazing bars
Each sash can be divided with glazing bars to achieve a specific design expression. VELFAC Ribo wood/aluminium is available with horizontal, vertical and cross glazing bars.

Colours, materials and surface finish
VELFAC wood/aluminium windows and casement doors are made of hard-wearing materials that require a minimum of maintenance.
We are careful when selecting suppliers and when specifying materials. We put great effort into processing and surface treatment. These are all cornerstones of a quality product.
The exterior aluminium frames are polyester powder coated. The surface reminiscent of paint on a car.
For frames, mullions and transoms we use FSC®-certified pine.
The surface treatment of wood and aluminium are described below.
