follow-on trades. That brought significant programme benefits for CHAP and the Council while minimising site disruption and improving overall efficiency.”
For Pinefield Glass a Eurocell partner for over fourteen years, the project was an opportunity to showcase the value of long-term partnerships.
Bryan Yule, managing director at Pinefield Glass commented:
“ Working with Eurocell and using the InSite system, we were able to provide pre-fitted window modules that performed exactly as required on site, giving the contractor and client complete peace of mind. Consistency and quality are at the heart of what we do, and this project really underlined that.”
SUSTAINABILITY AND PERFORMANCE AT THE CORE
Eurocell’ s Logik system, integrated within Kirkwood Timber Frame’ s precision-engineered panels played an integral role in meeting the Council’ s sustainability and performance ambitions. Each frame contains around 40 % recycled PVC-U, sourced through Eurocell’ s closed-loop recycling system, which processes old frames into new ones.
With U-values as low as 1.2 W / m ² K, or down to 0.93 W / m ² K when specified with triple glazing, the Logik system supports compliance helping to reduce energy demand and tenant bills without compromising thermal or structural integrity.
Designed for practicality as well as performance, Logik can be manufactured offsite to minimise heavy lifting on site. Meanwhile, its contemporary Silk Grey finish delivers a durable, modern aesthetic that complements architectural visions for buildings that“ sit confidently” within their surroundings.
SUPPORTING ABERDEEN’ S LONG-TERM HOUSING VISION
The Craighill scheme exemplifies Aberdeen City Council’ s ambition to deliver sustainable, high-quality homes that meet tenants’ needs now and in the future. The integration of Eurocell’ s InSite and Logik systems has helped realise that vision more quickly and cost-effectively, supporting the Council’ s“ Gold Standard” housing standards and delivering longterm value for the city.
OFFSITE BENEFITS REALISED ON SITE
The offsite-first approach has delivered clear and tangible results on site. By sealing buildings from day 1, internal works were able to start sooner, accelerating the overall construction programme and helping keep the scheme on schedule. This early weather-tightness also protected the budget by reducing costly downtime, safeguarding against volatile trade rates that can quickly escalate on projects of this scale.
The change in methodology also led to cleaner, safer sites. With less onsite handling and fewer overlapping trades, the working environment became easier to manage, improving both health and safety outcomes and overall site logistics.
In addition, the specification of Silk Grey Logik windows provided a consistent, high-quality finish across all homes, aligning with the design team’ s material palette and aesthetic ambitions. The recycled content within the frames supported Aberdeen City Council’ s wider social value and environmental goals, contributing to a more sustainable development that will serve its community for decades to come. The scheme remains on track for completion by April 2026, setting a new benchmark for how offsite innovation can bring cost and programme certainty to complex public housing projects.
