Eurocell’s Technical Panel has shared some of its latest innovations it's been testing as well as a new CPD to support the evolution of best practice in the industry and to ensure customers can meet emerging market trends.
Due to the popularity and trend towards larger size tilt & turn windows, Eurocell has fully type tested a Logik Tilt & Turn window at a whopping 1m wide by 2.1m high. Driven from the commercial sector for rapid ventilation in student accommodation properties, the window has a grille or louvre set up on the outside.
A full report is available on request for customers, should they get enquiries of this nature. The report includes PAS24, BS6375 and a cyclic test of 10,000 operations.
Eurocell has also improved fit and function of its VS run through horn detail. Those customers who buy pre-milled kits from Eurocell, will now see a marked improvement in the end cap fit. The improvement was gained by purchase on a new end miller and diamond cutters. The machine is fully automatic, ensuring a perfect cut every time.
These tests are born out of discussions among Eurocell's Technical Panel, which meets every month to run through customer and market needs to drive product innovation and support. The panel is headed up by Gary Driscoll, Sales & Commercial Director and includes experts from right across Eurocell. The full panel is;
Ian Kernaghan – Head of Product, Design & Development
Sean Bunyan – Head of Extended Living
Gary Doxey – Commercial Manager
Martin Benn – Head of New Build
The panel follows a list of guiding principles to ensure the unrivalled wealth of technical knowledge shared across its members, brings tangible benefits to customers and the wider construction community in the form of new products, upgrades and best practice.
Speaking on the panel’s purpose, Gary Driscoll said; “Our technical panel brings together seasoned expertise in building, construction, fabrication, installation, recycling and compliance to ensure our customers and the market can benefit from that knowledge.
“The guiding principles of the panel ensure that we put the customer at the core of every decision we make and that we are thinking holistically from all perspectives to innovate. This is proven through our bold and ambitious testing and the CPDs we continue to bring to the industry.”
To support the industry navigating Building Regulations, Eurocell introduced a CPD called Elevating Design: Fenestration Solutions for Regulatory Compliance. This CPD lasts around an hour and is delivered via webinar. Eurocell's technical experts have written the CPD, which is delivered by its Technical Specification Managers to ensure professionals are armed with the best information to overcome challenges associated with Building Regulations.
