Timberlook’s Sister Brand: Introducing Decorio Steel Look Windows
At Timberlook, we’ve always been about bringing heritage into the modern age. Our wood-effect uPVC windows and doors capture the timeless appeal of traditional timber whilst delivering the energy efficiency and low maintenance today’s homeowners need.
That’s why we’re thrilled to share that our parent company, Affordable Windows Group, has launched Decorio – a sister brand to Timberlook specialising in steel look aluminium windows and doors.
Just as Timberlook offers the charm of timber without the upkeep, Decorio delivers the industrial elegance of traditional steel windows at a fraction of the cost. With superior thermal performance, zero maintenance, and slim sightlines, Decorio makes the coveted steel aesthetic accessible to more homeowners than ever before.
If you love the look of steel but not the price tag or maintenance demands, here’s everything you need to know about this exciting new range.
Introducing Decorio : steel look aluminium windows and doors
Timberlook is a go-to choice for heritage-style uPVC windows that replicate timber without the maintenance. Now, our parent company Affordable Windows Group has launched Decorio – a premium range of steel look products made from aluminium.
Made with the same principles and dedication to quality as Timberlook, the Decorio range delivers authentic aesthetics without the drawbacks of real steel.
Why aluminium beats steel
The advantages of aluminium over traditional steel windows go far beyond price.
Superior thermal performance
Decorio’s External Collection aluminium profiles feature polyamide thermal breaks with thermal conductivity 160 times better than steel. This translates to annual savings on fuel costs compared to traditional steel windows.
Zero maintenance
Unlike original steel windows requiring regular maintenance and rust treatment, aluminium needs only an occasional wipe-clean. No rust, no rot – just more time to enjoy your living space.
Built to last
Decorio windows and doors are made with robust, durable aluminium frames which boast a 40-year typical lifespan.
