Curo Group has become the first housebuilder in the UK to provide PVC doors equipped for Kubu smart sensor technology as standard, on all new sites, in partnership with their manufacturing partner, Emplas. Curo Group is a west of England housing association that owns property from starter homes to Grade I listed buildings, in locations from rural villages to city centres. In recent years, the group has, along with other housebuilders, moved into new technologies, promoting smart living without associated risk or additional works.
Kubu describes itself as a pioneer in the smart sensor market for doors. With over 18 months in the field of testing and development behind them, the Kubu team claims that is it now fully assured of a product that works exceptionally. Curo will promote Kubu starter kits at the point of house reservation, so new homeowners will be able to activate the smart sensors on the day they move in.
Described as a forward-thinking window and door manufacturer, Emplas has led the way in increasing the product adoption of Kubu. Ryan Johnson, Emplas’ managing director, said: ‘Housebuilders are looking for differentiation like everyone else. Smart technologies deliver that and Kubu is the perfect fit. Being able to offer house buyers access to a tech and app that allows them to monitor the perimeter security for their home is a major selling point in new build – or, for that matter, retail.’
Mark Bromley, Kubu’s CEO, added: ‘This is major news for the industry as the first housebuilder is now specifying doors that are Kubu equipped from Emplas. With the window variant just a matter of months away, we believe 2021 is the year that smart sensor technology comes of age for this industry.’
