• Foresight Means Part L Is No Problem For Exlabesa Customers

One of Britain’s aluminium systems companies has  looked ahead and invested in upgrades to ensure its customers will cope with tightening environmental standards.

On 15 June, changes to part L of the building regulations comes into force. It is the latest in a series of government measures designed to improve thermal efficiency throughout Britain’s built environment.

As a result, windows, doors and an array of other building products will be required to demonstrate greater thermal efficiency to be approved for use.

Exlabesa Architecture has been following the changes closely and is fully prepared to help its customers adapt to shifting regulations.

 “Our highest priority has always been to offer fabricator-friendly window and door systems that meet or exceed current standards,”

Full range

“That has not changed – and in dialogue with our customers, we have prepared a number of new products that will be in full compliance with Part L,” continues Burke. “These include a bi-folding door, an inline patio door suite, a 75mm flush-fit casement window suite and a balustrade range.

“Like all the products we sell in Britain, these have been designed and manufactured in our HQ town of Doncaster. We are proud to make world-class products right here in the UK.”

Double glazed

Exlabesa says that from mid-June, most systems will be in compliance with part L and able to achieve a U-Value of 1.4W/m²K utilising a standard double-glazed unit.

“As the government gears up for the introduction of its Future Homes Standard, an ambitious plan for drastically improving thermal efficiency around the country, regulations will undoubtedly continue to change in the years ahead,” adds Burke.
