What Idealcombi does

Idealcombi A/S is a privately held Danish manufacturer of custom-made wood/aluminium windows and exterior doors, headquartered in Hurup, Thy, where it operates a single integrated factory exceeding 100,000 m² and employs approximately 550 people across Denmark and the United Kingdom. Founded in 1973 by brothers Henning and Bent Søgaard as 'Ideal Vinduet', the company is now controlled by the second generation of the Søgaard family (Martin and Mikael Søgaard).

Its product platform is built around Idealcore™, a proprietary manufacturing process in which the entire frame rebate is fully cast in thermal polyurethane (PUR) — a construction the company states is unique globally for facade windows and produced exclusively at the Hurup factory. This core is combined with wood interior and aluminium exterior across six window series — Futura+ and Futura+i for modern minimalist architecture, and Frame IC, Frame I, Nation IC and Nation I for classic and renovation applications — plus a complementary exterior door range (facade, terrace and sliding doors). All units ship with multi-layer low-energy glazing achieving Uw values from 0.74 W/m²K.

Idealcombi sells through a hybrid go-to-market model: direct-to-consumer via three flagship showrooms (Idealhuset Hurup, Aarhus and Hvidovre) plus a webshop for accessories; a 'Gratis opmåling' authorized craftsman and dealer referral network providing measurement and installation; regionalized direct B2B sales to craftsmen and construction companies (P-VEST, P-OEST, P-AARHUS); and dedicated enterprise project sales with technical advisory, REVIT/BIM files, EPD documentation and free energy seminars for housing associations and developers. Customers include private homeowners, housing associations (boligforeninger), commercial developers, craftsmen and architects, with reference projects spanning Danish institutions, central London multi-storey buildings and a 31st-floor Manchester penthouse. Pricing is quote-based on each custom-manufactured order, the company follows the VinduesIndustrien joint Sales & Delivery Conditions, and it holds FSC, CO2-neutral and Danish Energivinduer energy-labelling certifications.

Core offering

Idealcombi designs and manufactures custom-made, energy-efficient wood/aluminium windows and exterior doors at its 100,000+ m² factory in Hurup, Denmark. All windows incorporate the proprietary Idealcore™ thermal PUR (polyurethane) core technology cast fully around the frame rebate. The portfolio spans six product series (Futura+, Futura+i, Frame IC, Frame I, Nation IC, Nation I) plus facade, terrace, and sliding doors, sold directly, through authorized craftsmen, and to commercial project clients.

Product overview

Idealcombi is a Danish manufacturer of made-to-measure wood/aluminum windows and doors, organised around a portfolio of six window product series that share a common proprietary core technology. The platform-plus-modules architecture is: (1) Idealcore™ thermal PUR core technology used as the unifying element across all series; (2) two modern, slim-profile 53 mm series — outward-opening Futura+ and inward-opening Futura+i — aimed at new build and minimalist architecture; (3) two classic outward-opening series — Frame IC (with glazing-bead marking) and Nation IC (with putty-fold/kitfals look) — primarily used in renovation of buildings from 1850–1960; and (4) two classic inward-opening siblings — Frame I and Nation I — that share the same exterior dimensions as their IC counterparts for consistent facades. On top of the windows, Idealcombi sells a complementary exterior door range (facade doors, terrace doors, sliding doors including low-threshold variants) that uses the same window profiles. Supporting tools include the Idealcombi montage app (iOS/Android), the produkter.idealcombi.com product database with REVIT/BIM files, and a webshop for aftersales parts. All products are manufactured at the 100,000+ m² Hurup factory in Thy, Denmark, with showrooms in Hurup, Aarhus and Hvidovre, and are sold direct to trade and through a 'Gratis opmåling' dealer network.
