Eurocell has collaborated with fabricator partner, Nova Group, and installer, Nu-Openings, in the design and installation of a bespoke window system for Green Church Developments’ new-build care home in Doncaster.

The brief provided to Nu-Openings emphasised the need for aesthetically pleasing windows, moving away from the traditional and often uninspiring designs typical of care homes.

Additionally, the windows had to accommodate thicker glass to mitigate harsh sunlight. One of the project’s significant challenges was a constrained four-month timeframe for completion and it was also essential for the care home windows to meet a range of health and safety requirements, including the installation of window restrictors and tamper-proof glass.

Eurocell’s Logik 70mm window system in the chamfered design with an Ash black finish was selected for the project as it contrasted effectively against the building’s cladding, fulfilling the aesthetic criteria outlined in the brief.

Steve Carvell of Nu-Openings commented: “The collaboration between us and Eurocell was fundamental to making the project run smoothly. Because of its success, the outcome, especially the colours, looked beautiful, leaving the client very happy.”

The windows, with a U-value of 1.2, helped to ensure minimal heat transfer. This, combined with improved heat radiation, ventilation, and thermal properties, has contributed to the building using less energy for temperature regulation. As a result, the care home maintains a standard temperature between 18-20 degrees Celsius.

Kelly Hibbert, head of commercial sales at Eurocell, commented: “The project ran smoothly despite the tight time frame, demonstrating Eurocell’s commitment to high standards in product solutions, aesthetics and sustainability. We take these specifics very seriously to ensure all our clients can enhance their green credentials while creating a beautiful space.”
