David Thornton at The Window Company (Contracts) commented: “Great to read Rehau UK CEO Martin Hitchin’s recent comments on
role that specialist commercial installers like The Window Company (Contracts) have to play in providing expertise and and local authorities when it comes to choosing the right “Martin is absolutely right to argue that there’s a big education challenge ahead to communicate how effectively higher spec PVC-U frames can transform the warmth and housing properties to achieve a minimum of a C in EPCs by 2035 (or 2030 for fuel poor households). the biggest factors for HAs and local authorities in deciding how to spend council tax payers’ money. “As I see it, the real educational challenge comes around

Aluminium UK has unveiled a new RIBA-approved CPD exploring how architects can utilise glazing systems to maximise the positive impact of nature on human wellbeing. The CPD seminar, titled ‘Memories of Green – How
for wellbeing and connection with nature’ delves into the relationship between the interior and external surroundings of buildings, and how to utilise green spaces to become an extension of indoor living. The CPD was developed by architect, and Vice President
of the Manchester Society of Architects Paul Iddon, and focuses on the concept of biophilia – the human need for a connection with nature – and how glazing systems can be used to apply this concept to building design. The new seminar will provide insight into the ways
architects can use sliding and folding doors, and large glazing systems, to enhance the visual connection to nature, framing the outside world and increasing natural light to enhance physical and mental health. The CPD outlines the design credentials, sustainability and looks at the ways the company can support architects in developing designs rooted in biophilic principles.
