With the introduction of the Future Homes Standard (FHS) just two years away, national housebuilders have been working closely with Eurocell to enable them to achieve energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets.

The development work has been designed to successfully integrate Eurocell’s Future Homes ready Modus as a fully integrated window and door system. Modus continues to lead the market as the ‘go to’ solution for energy efficient performance with U-values as low as 0.7, aesthetics, value, and sustainability.

The proven and commonly specified Modus system has been the new build preferred choice for some time. Modus’ compelling attributes of unrivalled contemporary style, exceptional thermal performance, and cost effectiveness, are being utilised in conjunction with the housebuilding sector as the regulatory landscape changes.

Energy efficient and sustainable

The innovative technical design of Modus has a triple-seal option to achieve superb thermal, air tightness and noise reduction performance. The unique 75mm six-chamber profile system delivers optimum energy efficiency performance and can achieve a U-value as low as 0.7 with triple-glazed units.

Removing the need for complex and expensive glazing specification, Modus is helping to lower the cost of driving the net zero carbon agenda for specifiers, housebuilders, and homeowners.

To further support sustainability objectives, all Modus main profiles features a minimum of 36%* post-consumer recycled PVC-U as standard which helps to achieve a lower carbon footprint than products made or containing recycled material sourced from outside of the UK. The system deploys cutting-edge dual material extrusion technology (DMET) which layers post-consumer recycled and ‘virgin’ material simultaneously with high precision.

The recycled material is concentrated in the central core of the profiles, where it is completely invisible in an installed window or door.

Value-added options

The standard rebate, slim rebate and fully flush sash styles offered by Modus means a wide range of contemporary design aesthetics and colour options are available to architects and main contractors to satisfy both progressive and traditional design styles.

In combination with slimmer sight lines, the aesthetics of Modus provide specifiers with an alternative to aluminium and timber products.

Ian Kernaghan, Head of Products, Design & Development at Eurocell, added: “Modus is already a proven, highly effective, and popular integrated window and door solution. It combines fantastic thermal performance, a broad spectrum of design options, full Part Q compliance, and built-in sustainability through the inclusion of recycled material as part of its manufacture.”

*Average % recycled material of main profiles content varies by component from 36% to 72%

ASPECT FLUSH FRENCH AND RESIDENTIAL DOORS

Creating a seamless look has never been easier

The door design uses the slim, stylish profile and attractive chamfered glazing rebate of Eurocell’s Aspect bi-fold door system and perfectly complements its Logik S Flush and Modus windows.

The contemporary flush finish and super slim sightlines are only part of the story, though. With no bulky, floating dummy mullion, there’s a truly uninterrupted view to be enjoyed from inside the house.

Meanwhile, the view from outside is enhanced by the use of elegant butt hinges rather than the conspicuous exterior flag hinges dictated by a rebated door. This discreet, adjustable pencil hinge design preserves the smooth exterior lines of the frame and sash in keeping with today’s design trends. Plus, it offers the option of inward or outward opening to increase design flexibility where space is limited.

Anthracite Grey is a highly popular colour trend at the moment, and a through-grey profile is offered as standard; alongside the other 6 Aspect foil colours. This means none of the white PVC core is visible, even along the edges of the door frame. The result is a door with all the looks and style of an aluminium design, without the premium price.

Despite the growth in bi-fold door installations in recent years, the French door remains the most popular choice of ‘lifestyle door’ among homeowners.

Security:

The doors have been indicatively tested to BS6375 and PAS24 so comply with Part Q of the Building Regulations

Finishing touches:

  • There are two threshold options available– standard frame or Part M compliant low aluminium threshold
  • Doors can be double or triple glazed
  • Ovolo or chamfered bead available
  • 10 year guarantee on window profile and 5 year guarantee on hardware

 Colour options:

Like all Eurocell PVC-U products, the Flush French doors come with an exact colour-match guarantee. That means the colour is precisely matched to all Eurocell window, door and conservatory roof products, creating a coordinated, consistent look across any property.

BENEFITS OF EUROCELL’S LOGIK WINDOW SOLUTION CLEAR TO SEE IN THE STUDENT ACCOMMODATION SECTOR

Building Products Index Ltd PVC-U, Windows Leave a Comment

Eurocell’s Logik PVC-U window solution has been specified across a number of schemes being developed by student accommodation provider, Study Inn. As an aesthetically pleasing and high performing alternative to aluminium frames, Logik is also delivering sustainability and cost efficiency benefits.

 

Summary

  • Over 3,500 Logik windows specified across five refurbishment and conversion schemes
  • Tangible cost efficiencies using PVC-U alternative compared to aluminium specification
  • Fit for purpose, stylish and Logik PVC-U windows delivering strong thermal performance
  • Greener product choice using PVC-U profile that is sustainably manufactured

Study Inn specialises in the development and design of high-quality student accommodation projects, creating the living spaces that students want to live in at locations that suit them.

Doncaster-based window system designer and installer, Nu Openings Ltd has been working with Study Inn on a series of building refurbishments and conversions that have transformed existing office spaces into attractive, highly specified student accommodation solutions in Nottingham, Exeter, and Loughborough, with new developments currently underway in Leeds.

The right solution

Central to the service Nu Openings offers is its long-term commercial relationship with Eurocell which has been in place for the past decade. With strong knowledge of the performance, aesthetic, and sustainability merits of the Logik window solution, Nu Openings had no hesitation in recommending its specification for the exciting Study Inn schemes.

Gary Driscoll, Sales & Commercial Director at Eurocell, commented: “As a national business, Eurocell can ensure product supply, which helps with planning and timescales.  We also work with a UK-wide network of fabricators, so can provide access to conveniently located resources close to the development sites.  This has ensured operational efficiencies are maximised as the schemes have progressed.”

Steve Carvell, Managing Director for Nu Openings, added: “We have a long-term working relationship with Eurocell and have used many solutions from its extensive product range over the years. They are specified widely in the commercial market and once we were approached to become involved in supporting the build ambitions of the Study Inn projects, we recognised that Eurocell’s Logik PVC-U windows would be ideal for a number of reasons.”

Many architects specify commercial work for student accommodation schemes in aluminium when it comes to the window solutions. This tendency is something Steve and the Nu Openings team worked hard to reverse for the Study Inn schemes. He continues: “We do come across initial concerns from architects and specifiers who opt to choose aluminium for the window frames. However, thanks to our knowledge of the Eurocell solution we strongly advocate the range of benefits clients can access if they convert to a PVC-U alternative. It is fit for purpose, looks stylish, delivers strong thermal performance, and provides the finish they are seeking, whilst the client can also enjoy tangible cost efficiencies when compared to aluminium specification.”

Over 3,500 Eurocell Logik PVC-U windows have now been specified across the five Study Inn refurbishment and conversion schemes and Eurocell’s ability to assist with good lead supply times is helpful in keeping the construction timetables on track.

Leading the way

With sustainability credentials now an increasingly key factor in building material specification, Eurocell’s commitment to delivering product solutions that support a greener future resonates with clients such as Nu Openings and Study Inn.

Thanks to a market-leading recycling operation that enables the company to transform old plastic window and door frame waste into new PVC-U extrusions for the manufacture of attractive and sustainable products, clients who specify a PVC-U product from Eurocell can feel confident about its sustainable approach.

Steve Carvell concludes: “We continue to enjoy an effective collaboration with Eurocell and the success of the student accommodation schemes for Study Inn is an example of the strength of the ongoing partnership within the student accommodation build sector. Aside from the aesthetic, thermal, sustainability, and cost benefits that products such as the Logik window delivers, we also value the all-round support and technical expertise we can call upon from Eurocell when required.”

MODUS WINDOWS SUPPORT SUSTAINABILTY OBJECTIVES AT STUDENT ACCOMODATION

Building Products Index Ltd PVC-U, Windows Leave a Comment

Visit the Eurocell website

Purpose-built student accommodation developer sees the all-round value of PVC-U window specification at new flagship accommodation project for major university.

Developers of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) solutions are seeking a combination of cost efficiency, sustainability advantages, high performance, and aesthetic appeal when it comes to product specification.

Eurocell has once again worked with Future Generation – specialists in the development and design of exceptional student accommodation projects – to help deliver a stunning new student housing development.

The two organisations had partnered at another PBSA development at Hythe Mills, Colchester for another big university. Such was its success that the two companies have now collaborated on another prestigious project which has been described in the media as ‘the jewel in the crown’ for the UK’s fast growing PBSA sector.

The newly completed £40 million Guilden Village development in Guildford opened in August 2021 after a three-year build timetable and has now welcomed its first students for the 2021/22 academic year. It showcases modern, spacious, and affordable accommodation in which tenants are happy to live, study and enjoy their much-anticipated student experience.

The specification of Eurocell’s high quality Modus Slim Sash Windows in within the 533-student room development, provides an aesthetically appealing option for the exterior and substantial sustainability benefits – all based on MODUS Slim Sash’s unique ability to deliver an aesthetically very similar window to aluminium whilst improving thermal performance at a significantly lower cost.

The new purpose-built student accommodation uses the Eurocell Modus solution across all the bedrooms, and it complements the holistic visual appeal of the entire development which also includes a state-of-the-art gym, cinema room, multiple study rooms, and off-street parking.

Gary Driscoll, sales & commercial director at Eurocell explains: “Having successfully worked to specify the window solution at the Future Generation Colchester project, Eurocell were delighted to be invited once again to work alongside the company to create an appropriate and high-performing PVC-U window solution to support the exciting plans at the larger Guilden Village site.

“Future Generation directed the development’s design team that the Eurocell product should be considered and after discussions around desired aesthetics, performance versus cost, sustainability ambitions and safety, we collectively agreed that the Modus Slim window profile was the best choice.

“By using PVC-U instead of aluminium, not only did the project gain technical performance advantages against cost, but it also gained important long-term benefits through the specification of a highly sustainable product solution that is a tangible answer to counter today’s environmental challenges.”

Sustainable window solutions

Eurocell uses its own recycling plants to transform old waste PVC-U window and door frames into new PVC-U profiles through a closed loop recycling scheme. By doing so it is supporting sustained efforts by the construction industry to increase the prevalence of greener solutions to help build a more sustainable world.

Preventing discarded PVC-U frame waste from ending up in landfill and using it to create new PVC-U profiles is Eurocell’s proactive response to the climate crisis, and one that is finding real traction with like-minded companies looking to do the right thing when it comes to making sustainable product choices. This approach has been employed on the Guilden Village project, with the installed Eurocell Modus Slim window profiles emanating from a recycled source.

Eurocell worked with the fabrication and installer team at Astraseal Ltd to ensure the profile and fabrication process maintained the required momentum and supported the construction timetable. Planning approval for the window specification was obtained without any issues, with the authorities satisfied that the Modus Slim Sash PVC-U solution provided a seamless match to the overall design vision.

Building on the positive experience of the Hythe Mills project, Guilden Village is another strong example where project collaboration has identified an alternative product solution which matches design aspiration, drives the vital sustainability agenda, guarantees high performance and, ultimately, saves the client money.

Gary concludes: “Eurocell and Future Generation are delighted with the outcome of our ongoing collaborative partnership within the PBSA sector. The developer’s Guilden Village and Hythe Mills PBSA projects are helping to answer the ongoing and pressing need for high standard student accommodation to support those pursuing their education ambitions. Eurocell’s great looking, sustainable and high-performing PVC-U window solutions aim to assist developers such as Future Generation ensure market demand in a booming sector continues to be satisfied.”

A WINDOW ON SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATION

Building Products Index Ltd PVC-U, Windows Leave a Comment

Eurocell’s market leading PVC-U window profiles, technical expertise, and commitment to a sustainable future, is helping to underpin the success of a major ongoing property maintenance and refurbishment project in Birmingham. 

As a result of the work undertaken in tandem with project lead, construction company, Wates, and fabrication partner, Shelforce, many of Birmingham’s social housing tenants are now benefiting from improved property insulation, lower energy bills, and aesthetically pleasing building exteriors, thanks to the specification and installation of new attractive windows with a minimum design life expectancy of 35 years.  

Wates, one of the UK’s largest construction and property services companies won the tender to deliver a programme of property refurbishment for Birmingham City Council in 2016.  The programme is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of over 31,000 low- and high-rise properties currently under the control of the council.

Among the primary elements of the overall project – which has now run successfully for over five years – has been to address the need to replace a large volume of windows in properties across some housing estates, as well as refurbish those situated in tower blocks around the city.

From a technical perspective, some of the key challenges Wates faced were to ensure that the window replacement solutions would overcome issues such as wind driven water access and have the proven ability to withstand wind pressures generated by the height of the tower blocks, as well as being able to meet the council’s aesthetic and sustainability objectives with a flexible, proven, and long-lasting window replacement solution.

Wates brought in its long-term fabrication supplier, Erdington-based Shelforce to oversee the manufacture of the window solution required to support the extensive and ongoing refurbishment programme.

To ensure the secure supply of the quantity, quality and finish of profiles as stated in the council’s original window specification, Shelforce joined forces with Eurocell in what has been a highly successful material supply and technical collaboration that has supported the overall refurbishment works in recent years.

Gary Driscoll, sales & commercial director at Eurocell, explains how the partnership works: “Eurocell supplies Shelforce with the Logik70 profile in an anthracite grey colour, as well as in standard white, in line with its material orders on a weekly basis.  We also collaborate on technical aspects of projects around the window design.  This, for example, can often be due to the challenges of dealing with the wind pressures exerted on high-rise tower block building windows that necessitate the inclusion of additional reinforcement within the window design.  We supply all items to Shelforce in PVC-U apart from the reinforcement components or couplers which are provided in either aluminium or steel dependent on requirements.”

The joint desire of Eurocell and Shelforce to work together to create solutions to some of the technical challenges on the maintenance programme, has resulted in the development of a hybrid system, as Howard Trotter, business manager at Shelforce, highlights: “Any window runs over five metres need expansion joints, which is not something that is readily available in PVC-U.  We have therefore developed a hybrid system using aluminium and Eurocell PVC-U which has been tested to BS 6375 for weather proofing and passed all regulatory standards.”

Building for the future

With much focus on the delivery of sustainable construction solutions that reduce the impact on the environment, having a green perspective has also been important for all partners as the refurbishment project has unfolded in recent years.  With the original tender secured by Wates stipulating sustainability objectives such as the need for zero non-hazardous waste going to landfill, it is clear that caring for the environment has been crucial to the success of the programme.

Eurocell has been able to make a significant contribution in this regard.

With its own recycling plants that transform old waste plastic products into new and reusable PVC-U profiles, all extrusions sent to Shelforce for fabrication come from a recycled source.  In addition, the partnership approach across the programme now sees Eurocell work with Wates to collect and recycle the old windows being replaced.   Such waste materials are then reused for making the new window profiles that Shelforce fabricates, which can also support the future needs of the ongoing maintenance and replacement project across the city.

Howard Trotter concludes: “Without doubt, we have seen a lot of benefit from our relationship with Eurocell across this important and significant city-wide refurbishment scheme.  It has provided excellent technical support when required, including the provision of in-house training, as well as maintaining material supply despite the operational difficulties brought on by the pandemic. This has enabled Shelforce to continue to optimise fabrication production and supply to Wates and kept the project on track.”

Birmingham’s residents are enjoying improved housing conditions as new high performing window solutions remove draught-related problems and help to better insulate their living spaces.  Not only are the Eurocell-profiled windows underpinning the practical benefits the refurbishment programme is designed to deliver, but the subsequent attractive aesthetic appeal of the newly installed windows is also making a positive contribution to local community landscapes across Birmingham.

Finally, all stakeholders recognise that important sustainability objectives are also being met through the specification of the new windows that emanate from a recycled source and are set, according to the Building Research Establishment, to deliver long-lasting design life expectancy into the middle of this century.

Eurocell has extended its range of outdoor living solutions with the launch of new contemporary garden room, pergola, and veranda designs.

Customers can now create bespoke and inspirational living spaces that marry the functionality of indoors with the beauty of the garden.  Whether it is for home working arrangements, simple relaxation, socialising or exercise, additional rooms or protected spaces set in a tranquil garden environment provide a flexible, value adding, and minimal maintenance way to enjoy a better connection to nature and all its wellbeing benefits.

The new solutions will also create business growth opportunities for fabricators and installers as homeowners look to expand their living spaces and invest in solutions that provide built-in flexibility with a contemporary style.

Kyube Plus Garden Room

The Kyube Plus builds upon the popularity and proven performance of the existing Kyube garden room solution, delivering a modern and naturally styled outdoor space that perfectly complements its surroundings.

The Kyube Plus modular garden room is a high-quality construction and is delivered in prefabricated forms to ensure quick and simple installation. Highly insulated to provide all-year round comfort, the new Kyube Plus option is available in 13 sizes ranging from 2 x 2m up to 5.8 x 3.3m. For customers requiring a bespoke solution beyond the standard sizes, Eurocell can also create one off designs. Additional features such as front canopies and storage extensions are also available to add further sophistication and practical benefit.

Clad in vertical panels featuring natural FSC larch redwood, or PVC-U, the exterior appearance is available in six colour choices. The anthracite grey frame colour and satin black door furniture are designed to perfectly complement any cladding choice. To illuminate the new space, double-glazed sliding patio doors with the option to add an extra front window on larger sized rooms, ensure light will cascade in.

Fully insulated with an electric panel heater, the space is soundproofed, and the full electric pack with plug sockets and lighting offers functionality from day one.

The interior’s blank canvas based on OSB board is the perfect backdrop on which to create an individual look and finish. Options also include a plastered finish.

From quick installation to low maintenance, from high style to multiple sizing options, from a myriad of designed finishes to a 15-year guarantee on performance, the Kyube Plus garden room sets a new standard for outdoor living solutions.

Oasis Pergolas and verandas

Whilst the British climate can often be a challenge, the installation of a stylish pergola or veranda can provide the perfect garden space in which to enjoy the outdoors all year round.

Extending the home and garden footprint, the new Oasis range offers a stylish appeal with practical benefits, helping make the most of gardens in all weathers.

The Oasis veranda is available in both a glazed roof and polycarbonate, with the polycarbonate roof coming in four different colour options. In addition, there is the choice of three frame colours and two types of leg, guttering and footplate, meaning they can be customised to taste.

Eurocell has also introduced the Oasis pergolas range. The Deluxe option takes the pergola to a new level of sophistication and style. Thanks to the introduction of automated sliding retractable louvres, users can have the best of both worlds. They can open the roof for unobstructed views, or simply retract the louvres for protection against hot sun rays or rain filled clouds.

Sean Bunyan, Head of Commercial Operations for Eurocell, says: “We are seeing increasing demand for stylish, practical, and flexible outdoor living space solutions.  To match this demand, Eurocell has extended the range of garden room, pergola, and veranda options we offer.

“The new range has been created to further enhance the outdoor living experience and deliver greater flexibility and increased value to homes. They require no planning permission, can be installed quickly and, once in place, need only minimal maintenance. Best of all, they create stylish and cost-effective alternatives to the hassle, expense, and time constraints of building an extension.”

Bloor_Homes_Bath_Modus_street_shotWith the Modus profile system, you can create a whole range of different fenestration types and aesthetic styles from a single system.

Coming with a 12-year guarantee, Modus is available in nine solid and woodgrain-effect colours, all of which are available with white internal finishes to create a light and airy living environment. A further range of more than 40 solid and woodgrain effect finishes are available, including colour both sides.

Modus_Window_DETAIL_TNT_Section_PC-HR (002)BBA certified to function satisfactorily for more than 35 years, the Modus range has a U-value of 1.2 W/m² using 4/20/4 mm sealed double-glazed units. This effective thermal performance is due to the 75mm six-chamber profile system used in the Modus that enables the range to achieve a U-value as low as 0.7 by installing triple-glazed units. This ensures that Modus can be used to help you get ready for the Future Homes Standard in both 2022 & 2025.

Consisting of 50% post-consumer recycled PVC-U as standard, this range of doors and windows has a smaller carbon footprint than products made or recycled outside of the UK. Eurocell achieves this by employing dual material extrusion technology (DMET) that layers post-consumer recycled and ‘virgin’ material simultaneously, so the recycled material is concentrated in the central core of the profiles where it cannot be seen once the door or window is installed.

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.

Contemporary Image Set 01 - Townhouse Dining Room

Responding to increased consumer demand for 21st 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.”
