More than 200 Profile 22 casement windows and 100 doors from Kingfisher uPVC Windows & Doors were chosen for the Lavender Fields Care Village, at Barmby Moor near York.
Profile 22 system from Epwin Window Systems can achieve a 1.2 W/m2K U-value as standard. When using a triple-glazed unit filled with Argon gas, U-values as low as 0.8 W/m2K can be achieved.
Profile 22 Casement Windows are PAS 24:2022 approved as standard and Secured by Design requirements can also be met where required.
The windows and doors were Anthracite Grey on White to match the development’s aluminium glazed elements.
In The Hub, the communal area of the development, Kingfisher installed 55 windows, 50 doors, nine curtain wall screens, and 19 aluminium doors. In the 25 close-care bungalows, the team installed 149 windows, 25 sets of French doors and 25 composite doors.
Kingfisher sales and marketing manager Deborah Beeley said: “It was a privilege to be involved in creating this innovative retirement community. The high specification of the Profile 22 windows and doors ensures every building is thermally efficient, while the generous glazing makes the most of the countryside views for the residents. The project ran smoothly and we are delighted with the completed results.”
