Case Study: Rationel AURA Triple-Glazed Timber Windows in Essex

For this project, our expert team at Passivlux recommended the Rationel AURA system, as it compliments their beautiful traditional property whilst providing modern standards of performance that the client requested.

The Rationel timber casement windows add a touch of elegance to the property with classic design features and a pristine white finish to complement the gorgeous rose colour of their home in Essex.

Why Choose Timber Casement Windows?
