Blackpool Eco-homes

Synseal windows have been installed in a development in the North West, by LDG Group, one of the region’s largest window companies.

Synseal windows and doors were installed throughout the prestigious £7 million eco-development, The Saw Mills, situated a mile from Blackpool town centre and seafront.

The 35 three and four bedroomed mews homes were built on a former industrial site for the Great Places Housing Group. The homes, which are available for shared ownership and affordable rental, have been designed and built to high levels of sustainability, using low energy services, including photovoltaic panels, and renewable, ultra efficient building materials throughout, including the windows.

The development was supported by an investment of £3.7 million by the Homes And Communities Agency (HCA), the national housing and regeneration agency for England.

Working with the main contractor, RP Tyson Construction, the LDG Group supplied 400 Grey ‘70’ PVC-U windows and 71 doors manufactured using Legend multi chambered profiles from Synseal.

Lee Plummer, general manager at Lancashire Double Glazing, a division of LDG Group, said: “Synseal was readily accepted for installation in the development due to their high performance and reduced internal reinforcement, which improves energy efficiency and reduces the amount of steel used. This was perfectly in keeping with the ethos of the development.”
