The client
Designed Network & PMH Construction
PMH Construction approached UNO Windows & Doors to supply a thermally compliant joinery package for the newly built multi-residential development at 50 Beauchamp Street, Tawa, designed by Design Network. The project focused on delivering warm, quiet, and energy-efficient homes in compliance with local planning regulations.
Constructed next to a nearby railway, this project highlights UNO’s ability not only to support H1 thermal compliance but also acoustic compliance to deliver enhanced living comfort for the end user.
Scope
Achieving Dual Compliance in High-Density Housing
This multi-residential townhouse project required a joinery solution of 53 window & door units that met both H1 insulation standards and acoustic performance requirements as per district plan guidelines.
The challenges:
- Maintaining H1 thermal performance across the building envelope
- Ensuring acoustic control in a busy suburban setting

Solution
Dual Supply for Compliance, Flexibility & Enhanced Living
UNO supplied a combination of its Thermal and Non-Thermal suites across different townhouses in accordance with consenting timelines & to meet varying construction needs across the development:
- UNO Thermal Suite was used where H1 compliance within the thermal envelope was critical.
- Laminated Glass was used across all the properties in order to reduce sound entry & assist with UV protection.
This flexible approach allowed the developer to meet both acoustic and insulation targets efficiently while staying within budget.
The Matt Black powdercoat finish, an UNO Key Colour, added a sharp and contemporary contrast to the exteriors in line with the architectural intent.
