PLANNERS BACK PVCu HERITAGE COLOURS
Bloor Homes has created an attractively varied external appearance at its Woolston Fields development in Devon , after proposing three different colours of Eurologik 70 window from Eurocell .
The manufacturer of PVCu windows helped Bloor Homes successfully address the concerns of South Hams District Council ’ s ( SHDC ) planning department . Set immediately on the outskirts of the small Devon village of Loddiswell , Woolston Fields is a development of 70 homes in a ‘ country cottage ’ style . It includes two , three , four and five bedroom properties in the South Hams – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty . “ We wanted to mix up the streetscape and provide interesting elevations , rather than just have the monochrome appearance we would have got with plain white frames ,” said Jonathan Pope , senior buyer at Bloor Homes . “ The planners were also keen that we should install timber windows but , with Eurologik , we were able to highlight the quality , the look and the finish that we could achieve with PVCu .” Ideally suited for new build or replacement windows in sensitive areas such as the South Hams , Eurologik provides clean sight lines due to its unobtrusive gasket line and slim profile , while its 70mm front-to-back dimension enables timber frames to be replaced seamlessly . The three colours selected – Chartwell green , cream white , and moondust grey – were from the 25 + options available in the Eurocell bespoke foil range and complement the heritage style appropriate to the area , while the windows themselves were fitted with sculpted ovolo beads and Georgian bars that suited the country cottage design . Also available with chamfered beads , the advanced multi-chambered design of the Eurologik system ( including optional six-chamber slim outer frame system ) and innovative recycled PVCu thermal inserts work together to lock in heat . These windows were amongst the first to achieve the ‘ A ++’ band in England & Wales for Window Energy Ratings ( WERs ) since the British Fenestration Rating Council ( BFRC ) launched the new rating in May 2015 . The ‘ A ++’ rating is only given to those windows achieving an energy index value equal to or greater than + 20 .
