A Premium Design with High Performance

The development of 63 luxury townhouses requires thermal compliance achieved through specific H1 construction R-values, custom-designed to meet the project’s technical and aesthetic requirements.

H1 Compliance: Achieving energy efficiency with expert consultation and product design.
Cost-Effective Solutions: The developer seeks high-performing yet budget-friendly solutions.
Reliable Delivery: Smooth, efficient, and reliable supply to protect the project from added costs.

The architectural vision, led by Designgroup Stapleton Elliott, features a Flaxpod Powdercoat finish, one of UNO’s key colours for sleek aesthetics and Low E glass for superior thermal insulation.
