TRIPLE GLAZING & FUTURE HOMES

Supporting eco-friendly houses of the future

» STEDEK & THE RESIDENCE Collection have helped a cutting-edge newbuild development achieve outstanding thermal efficiency .
71 Old Penk in Cannock , Staffordshire , consists of three high-tech , eco-friendly homes that have been designed to be exceptionally sustainable .
They incorporate solar panels , electric charging points , ground-source heat pumps , and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery .
Crucial to their fabric first approach to energy efficiency , however , were the windows , as Alex Page of Stedek explains :
“ To deliver the thermal requirements the developers wanted , we provided 44mm triple-glazed Residence 7 windows , capable of achieving U values of just 0.9 .
“ That ’ s the brilliance of The Residence Collection – the way it can balance looks , versatility and first-class energy efficiency .
“ Residence windows can look perfectly in keeping with heritage properties . They can also excel on contemporary newbuilds like these .
“ But wherever you install them , they ’ re guaranteed to provide years of superb performance .”
Since 2016 , Stedek has established itself as one of Britain ’ s premier Residence Collection fabricators , renowned for its uncompromising quality and attention to detail .
It ’ s an approach that Stedek call Residence Excellence .
Alex continues : “ Eight years ago , we were delighted to partner with The Residence Collection , and begin offering their revolutionary R9 window .
“ In the years since , they ’ ve continued to produce fantastic products , and we ’ re passionate about making them the best they can possibly be .
“ On the 71 Old Penk project , you can see Residence Excellence in action .”

‘ Superior ’ door chosen for flagship decarbonisation scheme featured on Sky News

» THANKS TO SUPERIOR U-Values and thermal efficiency , XtremeDoor composites from leading supplier Vista Panels have been selected for a flagship scheme by the Saffron Housing Trust , a unique project recently featured on Sky News ’ the Climate Show with Tom Heap .
Saffron Housing ’ s first wave of a government-led Social Housing Decarbonisation scheme saw 126 homes retrofitted with energy-saving upgrades , including new windows , doors , solar panels , insulation and air source heat pumps in order to reduce their carbon footprint and help residents save on energy costs .
In some homes , where additional measures were
needed in order to improve the effectiveness of the heat pumps , new energy-efficient doors were needed , and with a U-Value of just 0.87 W / m 2 k , Vista ’ s XtremeDoor composite doors were the perfect choice .
Both stylish and functional , XtremeDoor is one of the highest performing composite doors on the market – thanks to a high-density , multi-layered foam core that helps to retain heat , they have been proven to be up to more than 19 % more efficient than other composite doors on the market , while high-quality uPVC edge-banding offers extreme levels of weatherproofing .
Ian Smith , Vista ’ s Sales and Marketing Manager , comments : “ We are incredibly
proud to see our XtremeDoor composites used in Saffron Housing Trust ’ s flagship scheme , and to have them featured on Sky News ’ the Climate Show is a fantastic recognition of their exceptional quality and energy-saving capabilities .
“ At Vista , we recognise the significance and urgency of reducing carbon emissions and transitioning towards more sustainable living – by offering doors with superior U-Values , we ’ re proud to contribute
towards the government ’ s decarbonisation goals .
“ Being featured on Sky News further highlights the importance of our contribution to this cause , and motivates us to continue innovating and developing products that not only meet , but exceed energy-saving standards .
“ We remain dedicated to supplying high-quality , stylish , and functional composite doors that not only enhance homes , but also help reduce energy consumption and environmental impact . Together with partners like the Saffron Housing Trust , we can pave the way for a more sustainable world .”
