Vistry Group’s groundbreaking Vistry Innovation Centre features a range of progressive products the leading housebuilder is using both now and in the future to achieve its net zero carbon target by 2040. Launched earlier this year, and based in Vistry’s timber-frame construction factory in Leicester, the Innovation Centre includes the Vistry ‘Home of the Future’, featuring fascias, soffits, and gutter products by Freefoam Building Products, selected for their sustainability performance. Freefoam’s Northampton factory has the ISO 14001 accreditation for Environmental Management, and recently expanded on this with a voluntary Climate Change agreement with the Environment Agency. This year Freefoam retained its prestigious EcoVadis Silver medal despite more stringent criteria, and is now rated in the top 9% of all companies EcoVadis assesses for sustainability practices. Its approach to sustainability is rooted in the principles of the Circular Economy, prioritising the re-use and circulation of resources, retaining economic value, and eliminating waste in its own business and its supply chain. Vistry constructed the fully functional future home using 18 different trades and 54 suppliers, featuring more than 100 different products and smart technologies.

Products_DPR.indd 1 ISO Chemie’s WINFRAMER specified for redevelopment project 06/08/2024 08:36
ISO Chemie’s thermal insulating and load bearing bracket support system has been specified to provide energy efficiency improvements on a residential conversion project in South West England. The move sees WINFRAMER units specified by Bristol architects Argyll Design Partnership for a private residential development that includes the renovation of several old stone cottages in the Bristol South West area. The project features the use of the ISO Chemie system to attach new windows to the properties before the installation of insulation around the WINFRAMER units and the application of an exterior screed finish, in a move designed to significantly improve the building’s U values and heat retention capabilities. Passivhaus certified and fire rated to up to 30 minutes, WINFRAMER is a prefabricated installation frame, manufactured to accommodate cavities up to 250 mm that allows windows to be supported independently from the face of the wall regardless of any external cladding being in place. The composite WINFRAMER brackets can bear heavy windows loads, including bi-fold doors, to provide a reliable, strong and high-performance support frame. Installation is quick with windows attached directly and secured mechanically using either standard fixing screws or fixing lugs in the usual manner.
