PVC-U window and door manufacturer and installer Ford Windows, has reached a significant milestone in its partnership with Eurocell, celebrating 20 years of collaboration with a development in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, the latest key project the two have worked together on.
The Hawthorns, a new build development by Barratt Homes North Midlands and David Wilson Homes East Midlands, comprises over 300 homes, with a variety of three and four-bedroom houses. Ford Windows provided a comprehensive range of over 3000 Eurocell’s Logik windows and 300 French Doors.
Eurocell’s Logik windows and French doors were chosen due to their excellent thermal efficiency credentials and compliance with the latest building regulations, ensuring the homes at The Hawthorns meet high standards of performance, both in terms of energy savings and design.
Since 2004, Ford Windows has relied on Eurocell’s expansive range of window styles and doors, including casement windows, residential doors, and specialist profile systems as well as its leading technical knowledge and innovation in product development to help it grow its business.
