A clear effort is emerging to streamline residential architecture into a landscape of sustainable, affordable and efficient homes which maximise space, light and energy usage.
‘ our product range... boasts fantastic sustainability credentials’
Rebecca Cope, marketing manager at Reynaers, said:“ Architecture is about creating something that provides an excellent functional space for those who live there, and one that will stand the test of time. This sits in line with Reynaers at Home’ s key values, as our product range of aluminium doors and windows boasts fantastic sustainability credentials.“ Reynaers’ products can contribute to the overall sustainability level of the building, thus achieving points for building certificates such as LEED and BREEAM. These certify that a building is designed and built to surpass national standards for a range of factors including energy savings, CO 2 emission reductions and sensitivity to their impact.“ The range also offers good value due to its long term high performance and energy efficiency levels, reducing residents’ energy bills and the need for maintenance or replacement.” Of the architects surveyed, 41 % of respondents designed for the domestic market and 38 % designed for commercial and domestic. The majority of respondents focused on a mix of new builds and extensions / refurbs.

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.
