XtremeDoor composites from Vista Panels have been selected for a flagship scheme by the Saffron Housing Trust that was featured on Sky News’ the Climate Show with Tom Heap.
Saffron Housing’s first wave of a government-led Social Housing Decarbonisation scheme saw 126 homes retrofitted with energy-saving upgrades, including new windows, doors, solar panels, insulation and air source heat pumps. The 0.87 W/m2k, Vista’s XtremeDoors were used in some of the homes where additional measures were needed.
Sales and marketing manager Ian Smith said: “We recognise the significance and urgency of reducing carbon emissions and transitioning towards more sustainable living – by offering doors with superior U-Values, we’re proud to contribute towards the government’s decarbonisation goals.
“Being featured on Sky News further highlights the importance of our contribution to this cause, and motivates us to continue innovating and developing products that not only meet, but exceed energy-saving standards.”
Saffron Housing Trust’s Sustainability Project Lead Richard Egle, pictured, left, with Tom Heap, said: “We are proud to have completed the installation of energy-saving measures on hundreds of Saffron homes, with the help of key partners such as Vista Panels.
“We have all worked hard in achieving this milestone, and we look forward to improving the energy efficiency of many more homes in the future, with upgrades such as thermally-efficient composite doors.”
