REHAU passivhaus products chosen for innovative social housing project

REHAU’s expertise in the Passivhaus sector has been perfectly demonstrated with an installation of windows and doors in one of the UK’s first Passivhaus certified social housing projects.

REHAU GENEO tilt and turn windows and French doors and the brand new AGILA Passivhaus entrance door were all fabricated by Passivhaus specialists GRM Innovations for the pilot development in Sarisbury Green, Fareham.

They were specified by Kenn Scaddan Associates and installed by main contractors Interserve.

There are six new two bedroom homes in total on the development, all of which have been built and funded by Fareham Borough Council with assistance from the Home and Communities Agency’s (HCA) 2015-2018 Affordable Homes Programme. They are intended to demonstrate and evaluate what can be achieved in terms of sustainability in the social and affordable housing sector.

The homes have been rented to families on the council’s housing list, and, now that they are occupied, the energy performance will be monitored over the next 12 months.

This is the first installation of the brand new AGILA Passivhaus contemporary styled entrance door which features a glazed in Rodenberg door panel. It achieves a Ud value of just 0.7 W/m²K, and comes pre-glazed and with high security hardware pre-fitted making it easy to install.

There are a choice of panel styles available with GRP painted, GRP foil laminate or aluminium overlay skins polyester power coated in any standard RAL colour in the range.

At Sarisbury Green, GRP foil laminate panels were specified in RAL7001 grey to coordinate with the REHAU GENEO windows and French doors in the same colour.
