Eurocell has extended its range of market-leading conservatory and orangery solutions with the launch of new contemporary designs that create desirable extended living spaces or can modernise existing and traditional conservatory structures.

Responding to increased consumer demand for 21^st century conservatory designs that include greater use of glass, reduced brickwork, superior thermal insulation, and a contemporary build aesthetic for shape and colour, Eurocell has added a raft of new quality-led features that improve liveability and reflect changing homeowner tastes, which will create business growth opportunities for fabricators and installers.

The latest conservatory designs bring together a combination of Eurocell’s exclusive pilaster and slimline roof systems, with a modern highline gutter solution, to enable the creation of cutting-edge and desirable living spaces that connect the house and garden.

Requiring low maintenance and designed for ease of fabrication and fast installation, the sleek and attractively designed options will ensure the swift and cost-effective completion of projects. They also offer peace of mind with a 10-year guarantee on product performance once installed and provide all year-round comfort through superior thermal performance.

Flexible pilaster options

The new features include innovatively designed pilaster solutions providing strength, durability, high insulation performance, and varied decorative options. Using corner posts with reinforcement, the pilasters provide a robust construction solution. They are also the foundation for stunning cladding options such as Coastline and Ecoscape that are available in a range of colours, including anthracite grey, moondust grey, silver birch, spiced oak, and midnight black.

For homeowners preferring an internal plastered finish, the new pilaster options provide the perfect backdrop to help deliver stunning interior spaces that can include striking lighting effects and the increased specification of automation and technology.

Slimline roof system to enhance light and space

The contemporary visual impact of the new Eurocell conservatory options is reinforced with the addition of a slimline roof system solution. With a thinner ridge system and reduced sightlines on conservatories, the slimline roof system enhances the feel of light and space. The system’s colour range includes white, anthracite grey, smooth aluminium grey, and matt black to provide a modern look.

Highline gutters – easy to install with advanced aesthetics

To further support the creation of visually appealing conservatories, Eurocell’s new contemporary highline gutter perfectly complements the slimline roof system. Available in white, anthracite grey, and black, the highline gutter is suitable for internal and external 90-degree corners. They have been designed to make the installation process quicker by allowing increased space for installers to fix to the conservatory structure. The bottom of the gutter has been designed to allow better aesthetics over full height brickwork and pilasters.

The range of features are suitable for new conservatory structures or as a cost-effective method to modernise existing and traditional conservatories. Easy to install, they can quickly transform favourite internal spaces and enhance the connected experience of indoor and outdoor living.

Sean Bunyan, Head of Commercial Operations for Eurocell, says: “Our further enhanced range of conservatory solutions is designed to help create ideal living spaces for homeowners. The impact of the pandemic and the work from home rules have made many people reappraise their living and working environments. As a result, we expect to see continued strong market demand for newly realised modern conservatory solutions, as well as projects where homeowners are looking to transform traditional conservatories. We have also ensured that customer feedback has been used as part of the design and development process for the exciting new features.

“The contemporary pilaster, slimline roof system and highline gutter options are fantastic quality-based additions to the conservatory solutions we offer. They are now available for fabricators and installers looking to work with their clients on the development of attractive and welcoming spaces that connect the indoors with the outside.”

BIM in a basket from Eurocell

Eurocell – the UK’s leading manufacturer, distributor and recycler of window, door, conservatory and roofline products – has reimagined the way designers and specifiers access its BIM models. The result is the BIM Centre, where finding and downloading the right BIM models is quick and fast, and updates are delivered automatically.

Users can sign up free to the BIM Centre in a matter of minutes and then use Eurocell’s new search and filter tool to find the models they need. Rather than downloading models one-by-one, they all go into a BIM basket to be downloaded en masse at the end of the process.

The models downloaded by each user will also be stored in a personalised BIM Library for quick and easy access at a later date. And by signing up for automated updates, BIM Centre members will receive an email to let them know when models have changed.

If specifiers can’t find the model they need, the BIM Centre has a simple ‘Request a BIM’ function which will be handled by Eurocell’s technical support team – who will always on hand to help with queries. Eurocell will also be showcasing some to provide inspiration and know-how.

“We know from talking to our customers that getting the right BIM models can sometimes be a frustrating and time-consuming experience,” said Eurocell Head of Marketing Chris Coxon. “The idea behind our BIM Centre was to make everything as hassle-free as possible, and to make sure that people always have access to the latest information.”

At the launch of BIM Centre it contained nearly 40 models covering Eurocell’s two most popular ranges Modus and Eurologik; that number will be growing all the time as new models are added. The models are in RFA or Revit Family format, requiring Autodesk Revit software.

The use of BIM – a 3D model with information attached to its various elements – is gaining traction across most construction sectors in the UK. This has been driven by the 2011 Government mandate that central government departments should require BIM Level 2 on all its projects from April this year with ongoing funding to push onto Level 3.

The goal for the implementation of BIM is that all the organisations involved in the design, creation and operation of a building or piece of infrastructure gain better understanding of the lifetime cost and performance of the asset and its elements. This should enable better decision- making and ultimately deliver better value.
