Lessons in Eurologik, from AGS

Weston Mill Community Primary School at Camels Head, Plymouth, has recently been refurbished using market leading Eurocell Eurologik window system. The windows were fabricated and installed by AGS Home Improvements / Crown Windows, a Eurocell fabricator with branches in Newton Abbott and St Austell.

The Primary School dates back to Victorian times and was built around 1870. Existing timber windows were showing signs of major deterioration and the local authority specifier decided to replace them using PVC-u frames. The authority choose PVC-u because it considered the material to be lower maintenance and more cost effective than alternatives.

Eurocell Eurologik Ovolo system was eventually specified, from a short-list of three, because, in addition to meeting value for money criteria, it also offered better sightlines. This was important as the specifiers wanted to retain the original appearance of the building. Eurologik achieves this by having fully bevelled profiles that visually creates a slimmer frame section, giving the impression of a larger glass area.

Recently completed, the project now provides pupils with a much warmer and more comfortable classroom as well as saving on fuel bills for the local authority, thanks to Eurologik’s excellent thermal performance.

Mrs Smith, head teacher at Weston Mill, explains: “The old windows had deteriorated to a state where they were letting in rain and were really drafty. It has been wonderful to have brand new windows and it has made a vast difference to classroom comfort as well as aesthetics of the building. Our local education board and governors are also highly delighted as it has saved a huge amount on heating bills.”

Eurologik is based around a 70mm front to back dimension making it ideal for use in both commercial refurbishment and renovation work. This adaptability enabled it to be used as a direct replacement for existing frames in Weston Mill Primary School, without having to make changes to window opening detail.

Brian Coles, Commercial Sales Manager at AGS Home Improvements / Crown Windows, explains: “We have used Eurologik for a number of years and have always found it ideal for use on commercial projects. It is one of the best quality window systems in the market, helped by the fact it has extra wall thickness, making it much easier to fabricate the larger and more intricate windows often found on this type of project.”

Established for over three decades, AGS Home Improvements / Crown Windows has built up a strong reputation for product and service quality, the latter of which is helped by the professionalism of its team of installers.

AGS Home Improvements / Crown Windows supplies both domestic and commercial markets using both PVC-u and a range of aluminium products. The company has recently supplied windows fabricated from Eurologik profiles into offices, housing association properties, local authority buildings and health sector markets. Providing a complete design, fabrication, installation and commissioning service has enabled it to build up a large portfolio of prestigious projects across the South-West

Eurocell has a dedicated team that can handle enquiries about commercial developments, along with a nationwide network of specialized fabricators.
