Take the Eurocell Modus S taste test

Sustainability Tue, Jun 7, 2016 9:39 AM

Slim sightlines and an authentic traditional appearance make Modus S – the latest addition to the market-leading Modus range of PVC-U windows from Eurocell - especially suitable for discerning tastes, premium properties and homes in conservation environments.

The Modus S range is possible thanks to additional precision-engineered mouldings inside the frame which remove the need for diagonal corner welds – a distinctive characteristic of standard PVC-U windows.

As a result, the mechanically-jointed flush sash casement window looks like timber but delivers the optimum energy efficiency and virtually maintenance-free performance benefits of PVC-U. If sceptical, then there’s no real substitute for experiencing the system in person – to see if Modus S passes the taste test.

Market research shows that demand for premium flush sash windows is continuing to grow as discerning home buyers want differentiated properties that present a traditional appearance while meeting modern performance standards. So Modus S, which was designed with this mission in mind, looks set to build on the success of the rest of the Modus range.

Despite this premium combination of leading technical performance and high aesthetic appearance, Modus S is up to 50% less expensive than equivalent flush sash products, leading Eurocell to claim that this makes Modus S the best value flush sash casement window available to the market yet.

Flush on both sides, Modus S offers sleek looks that are unbroken by external bead lines as, like most contemporary windows, the system is internally beaded for enhanced security standards.

Featuring a unique 75mm six-chamber profile design, the Modus range delivers optimum energy efficiency performance and can achieve a U-value as low as 0.7 – surpassing Passivhaus standards. And Modus casement windows were amongst the first to be awarded the new A++ Window Energy Rating by the BFRC, confirming maximum double-glazed and triple-glazed window performance.

Modus S is available in ten colours from stock – including the White Ash, Cream White and Anteak popular for period, premium and self-build properties. In addition, Eurocell offers a sophisticated alternative to PVC-U-standard Chartwell Green amongst its made-to-order options.

Called Agate Grey, its subtle hue has been appealing to customers at major exhibitions over the past 12 months. Beyond that, a further 25 colours are available to special order, including a series of metallic finishes for those seeking added differentiation.
