21st April 2015

H JARVIS of Redcar, Cleveland has become the first Eurocell fabricator to gain Secured by Design on the new Modus profile system.

The 130-year-old company now offers the accreditation,with certification to PAS 24:2012, on outward opening top hung and side hung casement, plus fully reversible windows as well as its inward and outward opening fully glazed double leaf French doorsets.

H Jarvis Managing Director David Glendinning said: “The Modus profile system offers our customers energy efficiency, value for money and distinctly different looks. Gaining Secured by Design enhances this appeal further and adds to the impressive list of reasons why more of our customers are choosing Modus.”

H Jarvis also holds Secured by Design certification on the Eurocell Eurologik window and door profile system.
Modus is said to be the UK’s first fully integrated window and door system, allowing eight different types of windows and doors to be produced from a single system. The profiles are available with 28mm and 44mm bead options, giving H Jarvis customers a choice of both double and triple glazed Secured by Design Modus windows. The triple glazed option achieves a U-value as low as 0.7 with a triple glazed unit and a 1.1 U-value achievable from double-glazed units.

The certification is a timely one as the Government has announced its intention to introduce a single security standard applied to all new homes via. Part Q of the Building Regulations.

Ian Kernaghan, Product Manager at Eurocell, said: “With more homeowners looking to beat the burglar and the forthcoming Part Q of the Building Regulations, we are confident that the market will welcome a Secured by Design option on our Modus system. H Jarvis has responded to this demand and become the first to achieve this important standard. The company is now in a position to offer housebuilders, specifiers and homeowners something that they will not find anywhere else in the market.”
