Vincent Timber becomes a partner of the Kingspan Lighthouse project at BRE
|
Vincent Timber is proud to be a partner of the Kingspan Off-Site's groundbreaking Lighthouse project at BRE. Vincent Timber's experience in the cladding market was one of the main reasons why they were chosen to be the suppliers of Sweet Chestnut cladding that was used extensively on the project.
The Lighthouse project can be seen as a bold initial step to moving both MMC and the carbon-zero home agenda towards the implementation of the Government's Code for Sustainable Homes. The Code defines six levels of environmental sustainability, with level one set just above current building regulations and level six at 'net-zero carbon', including appliance, lighting and total occupant energy use.
The Lighthouse design, construction and energy emission levels will comply with the code for Sustainable Homes Level 6 rating, which will be mandatory by 2016. This is achieved via a highly effective insulated/airtight building fabric, integrated building services and a platform of renewable technologies.
Vincent Timber offers one of the largest choices of timber cladding in the UK. You can view their product range, projects they have supplied and a picture gallery by visiting their website.
