COMMITMENT

TO QUALITY SEES IT ACHIEVE PART 2 SUPER SPACER® HERITAGE PASS

One of the UK’s leading IGU manufacturers has achieved a pass in stringent BS EN 1279 Part 2 testing with Super Spacer Heritage.

Over 27 years, Edgetech customer Premier DGU has been offering outstanding products and service to fabricators around the South-West.

Dedicated to constant reinvestment, the firm has remained at the cutting edge of technology – which in turn has allowed it to maintain the highest quality standards.

Premier DGU operates three unit lines, and has invested heavily in machinery, including more recently a glass toughening plant.

However, the company also has extensive expertise in hand-finishing units to virtually any requirement, and a long track record of manufacturing exceptional heritage units.

Premier DGU Director Barry Clarke comments: “We’re delighted to have achieved a pass in Part 2.

“It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff, and our uncompromising commitment to quality.

“We’d like to thank our amazing team, our long-standing spacer supplier Edgetech, and Steve Monk at CENSolutions, who was an integral part of us achieving the pass.”

Steve Monk commented: “I am delighted for Barry and his team at Premier DGU on achieving this pass to BS EN 1279:2.

“Premier DGU have always been committed to achieving the best possible outcome with regards to quality – including by working with CENSolutions’ third-party accreditation CMS Quality Mark Schemes for BS EN 1279 and BS EN 12150.

“They regularly score very highly when audited by both us and ER Certification for UKAS accreditation.

“CENSolutions pride ourselves on our working relationships with clients and providing up to date industry advice, so I am very pleased I could assist Premier DGU in achieving their goals.”

Premier DGU are long-term users of Super Spacer – the globally respected warm-edge spacer bar that helped revolutionise energy efficient IGU production.

Edgetech Managing Director Chris Alderson comments: “We’re extremely pleased to see Premier DGU achieve Part 2 with Super Spacer Heritage.

“We’ve seen their dedication to quality firsthand, so it’s no surprise to see them passing stringent testing.

“We look forward to helping them produce exceptional IGUs for many years to come.”

Market Leading U Values

Door Collection By Apeer

U values for the new Residence Door Collection by Apeer have now been confirmed following formal testing, with the results showing that solid doors in the twenty-model range perform considerably better than the much-lauded Passive House Institute standard, at 0.51 W/m2K (Passivhaus standard is 0.89 W/m2K and better). The figure confirms that The Residence Door Collection by Apeer, including doors with glass cassettes, will also comfortably outperform the anticipated, speculative requirements of the widely discussed Future Homes standard for new build homes.

The results of the formal testing place The Residence Door Collection by Apeer in the highest tier of thermal performing residential doors currently available for the UK home improvement sector. Determined by a commitment to produce a residential door range to complement the renowned Residence Collection windows, each door will be presented in a ground-breaking 120mm front-to-back format.

Traditional, contemporary and stable door designs are included in the range, with 78mm quadruple sealed glass units as standard where relevant. Construction utilises GPR skins around a high-density PU core, reinforced with aluminium anti-cut through security mesh embedded within the core of each door. Performance is further enhanced by weather deflectors, and Stormguard or full frame thresholds. Every door, including skins and glass units, will be manufactured by Apeer at its 120,000 feet2 Ballymena factory.

Aimed squarely at the premium sector, the range at launch comprises nine standard colours (seven grained and two smooth), with the availability of full sidelights and top lights now, with half lights and others to follow. High quality hardware and furniture will reflect the high-quality construction of the doors, whilst extra touches such as Ultion KeyTag-equipped, ‘Apple Find My’ trackable keys also completing a comprehensive standard specification. The Residence Door Collection by Apeer is the result of a collaboration aimed at producing a range of residential doors that complement the market leading Residence Collection windows, but which will be widely available on the open market through Apeer.
