Located in south Glasgow, Linthouse is a district of Govan, with Linthouse Housing Association managing in the region of 1200 (mostly) tenemental flatted dwellings.
Their latest programme, granted to CCG on a direct award basis, is a two-lot contract comprising the installation of 1800 PVCu Victorian Sliders and FD30 Flat Entrance Doors to 692 residences.
Seen as a significant step forward to future-proofing the association’s tenemental housing stock, the contract was green-lit thanks to £3.7m grant funding support from the Scottish Government’s Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund.
A mix of double and triple-glazed, vertical sliding sash windows from Victorian Sliders, one of the UK’s largest sash window suppliers, have been specified
The window style is in keeping with the surrounding area’s built heritage, but rather than using timber, the principal material is PVCu, a highly durable form of thermoplastic that is not prone to weathering or rot. This performance will support Lonthouse’s long-term maintenance requirements as well as the tenant, with a significant uplift in thermal performance.
The new FD30 flat entrance door sets are supplied by CCG. Fabricated using solid timber, the door leaf and frame are assembled entirely at CCG’s HQ in Cambuslang before being installed by CCG Asset Management. Each door is fully BM Trada and Q Mark certified and will offer a 30-minute fire performance rating.
Further contracts are also underway in the area by CCG, including further window replacements as well as fabric/stone repairs across various addresses with Phases 2-6 set to be completed within 2025.
