Upmarket Oxfordshire development highlights JACKON ICF benefits
A
prestigious new development in the West Oxfordshire village of Kingham has used JACKON’s THERMOMUR® 350 Super block to provide the most energy efficient building system currently available. This product enables a U-value of 0.15 straight out of the box. This means it fully complies with the changes to Part L building regs coming into effect in June this year. These will stipulate a maximum of 0.16 U-value on external walls, as part of a requirement that new homes emit 31% less CO2 than is required by the current Part L.
Kingham Barns comprise five buildings, one of which is a gym. The developer is the HENGE Group and the contractor is Agilitee.

The completed multi-residential development looks absolutely stunning and is a credit to all involved, especially the team from Agilitee Ltd. “This has been a very satisfying project,” says Glenn Kiely, Business Development Manager at JACKON. “It shows that THERMOMUR® blocks can be used to create highly aesthetic new housing developments, which also fully comply with – in fact comfortably exceed – the new Future Homes Standard regs that are coming in this year. JACKON is ahead of the game!”
