Dual H1 & Acoustic Compliance for Tawa Multi-residential

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.

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.
