Rationel AURA and AURAPLUS
AURA personifies clean lines. The sleek, flat frame gives your window a flush finish for a truly modern, Scandinavian feel. This is our most popular profile, especially for a stand-out “grand design”. Optional glazing bars can increase the architectural elegance of this style. Made from sustainably sourced timber, your windows and doors will last for decades if looked after.
Choose AURAPLUS and we add aluminium cladding to the timber, which means maintenance becomes minimal and life expectancy rises by another 20+ years. The cladding comes in hundreds of colours and gives you the flexibility to have one colour inside your home and another on the outside. It can make a real impact and adds the durability to deal with the harshest of weather.
Rationel FORMA and FORMAPLUS
Designed to complement traditional British architecture, FORMA brings a softer line to your windows and ensures your project blends with its environment. Beautifully styled in sustainable timber that will last for decades, the bevelled edges bring a homely feel. The colour palette is extensive, with the most popular choices can be seen here; you’ll be choosing the same colour inside and out.
Make it FORMAPLUS and the aluminium cladding gives you the option of another colour for the outside of your home – however, it’s unlikely you’ll want to cover up this beautiful styling. The cladded frame requires minimal maintenance and is extremely durable in all weather conditions. All styles are available with glazing bars, which particularly suit this style of window.

What Our Clients Say
See All TestimonialsMr Prudence
Just like to say a big thank you to Ryan, Fraser, Tommy, Luke and Tomasz for their commitment to get the installation right (it was a late night). I don’t usually single people out for a special mention but to Fraser who tried his best to get the old unit out with out damaging the render, minimising damage to internal finishes and keeping to task and in good humour when the dimensions weren’t working out. Thanks to Ryan and Tomas for completing the work the next day.
Libby, United Kingdom
We had 5 very large VELFAC windows fitted to the front of our house. The team was very friendly and efficient and the results are wonderful. The work was completed to a very high standard and was carried out with very little inconvenience. We highly recommend.
Ashley, ACM Construction & Development LTD
