Composite Doors an UPVC Doors Specialists - Natural Light Research
Research has shown that buildings with a high level of natural light are
perceived to be healthier than those that are more reliant on artificial
sources. In all environments, the eye and brain functions respond better
in these conditions.
Natural light can help people to get a sense of well-being, too, which
was particularly important for the residents in this care home. In
hospitals, studies have proven that the recovery rate and general health
of patients is accelerated where levels of natural light are increased.
Designers on this project achieved this effect by careful specification
of the window systems, which also had to meet their strict environmental
requirements. Barton Windows considered our Eurologik profiles best
suited to meet this brief because it has a fully bevelled design that
enhances sight lines and which therefore makes the glass appear visually
larger in proportion to the frame. PVC-u as a material has also recently
been awarded an A rating for sustainability for domestic properties
and an A* for commercial developments in the BREs latest Green Guide.
This means that it has now been recognized as an integral element of a
sustainable build and many more specifiers are therefore using it to
achieve BREEAM and Code requirements.
Eurocell Profiles Ltd is one of the UKs leading suppliers of PVC-u
window, door, conservatory and roofline systems. From its base in Derbyshire,
