Eurocell’s new Specification Guide provides a complete low-down of the firm’s range of window, door and roof systems. Specifiers can find technical details and supporting information about each product line, together with useful summaries about all the relevant regulations and standards.

As a cradle-to-grave supplier, Eurocell has gathered a wealth of industry experience and knowledge, which is reflected in the additional information that comes with the guide. The Derbyshire company, founded in 1974, manufactures PVC-U profiles, distributes them to the local fabricators who make the Eurocell range of products, and recycles PVC-U at the end of its life.

As well as product details, the 156-page guide, provides guidance on issues including noise attenuation, security and condensation. There’s also a section that explains PVC-U’s environmental credentials and how Eurocell collects and processes PVC-U from old frames to use again.

The guide covers Eurocell’s three window ranges: Modus, Eurologik and Charisma sash windows; Cavalok cavity closers; Aspect bi-fold doors, Euroslide patio doors and The Dales Collection composite doors; Skypod Roof Lanterns, Equinox tiled roof system and the Conservatory roof system. There’s also technical detail on the PVC-U profiles themselves, from diagrams of the different cross-sections available to details of the material properties.

The last ten pages of the guide are devoted to case studies which showcase some of the sectors that Eurocell serves. From school buildings to luxury holidays to self-build, the projects underline the variety of technical and aesthetic challenges that specifiers have met with Eurocell products. Whether in search of very specific information, ideas and inspiration, or an update on regulations and standards, this guide is the place to look.

Flush sashes and bi-fold doors – the style choices from Eurocell

Chris Coxon, Head of Marketing, Eurocell looks at two hot style choices in housing.

The most significant trend in windows and window styles at the moment is for premium PVC-U flush sash windows. The life-cycle, energy efficiency and low maintenance arguments have been established for decades, yet extrusion technological developments in the past few years mean that discerning mid- to up-market homebuyers can source engineered quality and high aesthetic differentiation in their windows.

For example, over 50% of Eurocell premium window system sales into new build housing are now for flush sash casement windows. And within this, there are two developments of note. First is colour choice – with leading proprietary systems offered in popular contemporary ‘Fired Earth’-style or heritage finishes such as creams, greys and pale greens, either from stock or made-to-order.

The second innovation is the availability of mechanically jointed flush sash casement windows. Additional precision-engineered mouldings inside the frame remove the need for diagonal corner welds – a distinctive characteristic of standard PVC-U windows.

These new joint details add considerable authenticity to the appearance of the window and enables installers and fabricators to provide a product with the look of timber, while retaining all the optimum energy efficiency and virtually maintenance-free performance benefits of PVC-U. These work well on more traditional house designs, and are also a boon in conservation areas too.

Away from windows, it’s bi-fold doors that have really been capturing the imagination of homeowners. Consistent with the open plan kitchen-diner-lounge layouts that are such a feature of contemporary designs, modern BBA-approved bi-folds are a great alternative to patio doors,

Our PVC-U bi-folds are designed from the bottom up using purpose-made systems, so ensuring that the doors work perfectly for years and years. Our dual track carriage – with rollers at the bottom and security pins in the top track – offers better stability for smooth operation, guaranteeing trouble-free performance for the lifetime of the doors.

In respect of configuration – the size of the doors, and how many panels comprise the opening – a huge range of bespoke options are available. Furthermore, depending on source, they can now also bring additional peace of mind – especially in the Part Q Building Regulations context – as they may also come with Secured by Design status (subject to fabricator accreditation).
