HIGH-PERFORMANCE WINDOW SYSTEMS FOR £ 65M REGENERATION OF COLLYHURST VILLAGE
Eurocell has supplied its Logik Flush 70mm Casement window system to the £ 65 million regeneration of Collyhurst Village, delivering a solution that meets demanding performance and aesthetic requirements in one of Manchester’ s most ambitious housing developments.
Led by FEC UK and Manchester City Council, the Collyhurst Village project forms part of a wider 10-year masterplan to deliver 15,000 new homes across the region. The first phase, which began in October 2022, involves the construction of 244 new homes.
Meeting the needs of modern urban living
Designed by Buttress Architects and delivered by DEX Construction, the project needed to respond to challenging acoustic, thermal and security demands in a busy city centre location. The chosen window system had to reduce heat loss and road noise, provide a contemporary appearance, and support the project’ s wider sustainability goals.
Ben Lissaman, Commercial Manager at DEX Construction said:“ The difference in housing quality across the site is already clear to see. The Logik Flush system didn’ t just meet the performance brief, it helped

With robust hardware and high-performance security glazing, the system provided a safe and thermally efficient solution for residents.
Sustainable by design
Manufactured using an average of 32 % recycled PVC-U, the Logik Flush profile contributed to the development’ s low-carbon objectives. Eurocell’ s closed-loop recycling system ensures post-consumer waste is transformed into new profiles, reducing reliance on virgin materials while maintaining high levels of product quality and consistency.
Supplied by local experts
The system was fabricated and installed by trusted Eurocell partner JJ Harrison, whose team worked closely with DEX Construction to deliver the project on time and in line with the architectural vision. Anthracite Grey exteriors and Classic White interiors were chosen to create a modern yet timeless finish, enhancing the visual identity of the scheme.
Matt Collier, director at JJ Harrison Windows & Doors said:“ Logik Flush is a versatile and easy-to-install system that’ s ideally suited to projects like this. It strikes the right balance between high performance and visual appeal – and the feedback from both site teams and residents has been fantastic.”
Arron Crisp, technical specification manager at Eurocell added:“ We worked closely with Buttress Architects from the early stages to ensure the specification met the project’ s performance and sustainability goals. Our collaboration with JJ Harrison was key to translating that spec into reality, helping to keep the programme on track without compromising design intent.”

In response to the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, Hörmann has developed solutions to help protect buildings from water ingress. The flood resistant versions of the doors do not compromise on performance or aesthetics and have been independently tested to ift Rosenheim’ s FE-07 / 2 guidelines for flood-resistant closures, covering windows, doors, gates, and roller shutters.
The flood-resistant variant of Hörmann’ s industrial steel doors maintains all its core functionalities, including fire resistance, sound insulation, thermal efficiency, and security. It offers protection against floodwater up to 900 mm for single-leaf doors up to 1150mm wide. A retrofit package
is also available, allowing existing installations to be upgraded with this flood protection capability.
On the residential side, the ThermoSafe Hybrid aluminium entrance door now features flood resistance up to 500 mm water height for door widths up to 1250mm. These enhancements do not affect the door’ s advanced performance levels or its modern, stylish appearance.
With these latest additions, Hörmann reinforces its position at the forefront of innovation, creating resilient building protection solutions tailored for industrial and residential environments.
