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 TestimonialsAndrew, Pagham
We were recommended to use Rationel windows and Solarlux bifolds by an architect friend and Composite Windows are the local supplier. Very good service, great windows – well worth the money.
Chandra, Hove
I have had Velfac windows and external doors for 12 years. One window was not fitted properly by the developer (not Westcott) and had been leaking and needed replacing. The window was on a 4th floor flat and access difficult. Westcott were recommended by Dovista and Westcott worked timely from survey to order and then to sync with scaffolders dates to install. The guys had difficulty getting the frame up to 4th floor but they stripped it down and hoisted it up to the 4th floor. The job was professionally completed in a day. I am very pleased with the result and would recommend Westcott. Particular thanks to the boys who were all courteous and professional- Adam, Gavin, Matt and Andy. The office staff were always prompt with replies too. Thank you all.
