Liniar

Read how the Liniar ModLok™ bi-folding door system has earned a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation – the UK’s highest accolade for business success.

From green Government initiatives to documentaries like Blue Planet, the world around us is keen to prevent ongoing climate change damage from impacting our communities...

As new homes are urgently needed all over the country, the redevelopment of existing buildings can offer a solution – but in urban areas, noise pollution can often be a problem. As one developer discovered, however, Liniar’s EnergyPlus90 windows can provide the ideal answer!

The Leeds City Centre regeneration PFI project spans 7 blocks of high-rise apartments totalling 550 dwellings, together with almost 1,500 low-rise and new build houses - all fitted with Liniar windows. “The Liniar system goes through the factory much faster than other systems, so it’s more cost effective - it's also much easier to achieve an ‘A’ rated window. Our installers find Liniar is quicker to fit, so they’re on site for less time overall, which helps with project completion deadlines.” Click to read the full case study and find out more about the project.

Patio doors are often considered the weakest point of access, but a West Yorkshire fabricator’s faith in the security benefits of the Liniar ModLok™ system have been strengthened even further recently after a failed attempt by burglars to force a set open.

Read how one Liniar fabricator recently won a contract to provide and install the windows for the conversion of a commercial building into housing. The developers had specified anthracite grey on white windows,top hung with toughened glass manufactured with Liniar’s EnergyPlus profile. They used pressed and vinyl coloured panels for a contemporary finish.

The Liniar team was introduced to Glen Speake during one of his very first Alumina installation projects – a new build home which included foiled PVCu 7016 Grey Liniar casement windows and matching aluminium bi-folding doors.

One of the early adopters of the Liniar system, Pearl Windows has always been on the front foot for fabricating the new products emerging from Liniar’s Design and Development department.

Our world is changing. We’re now seeing a passion for ‘doing our part’ to save the environment like we’ve never seen before – and one group in Southampton is going above and beyond for their little patch of Earth.

When James Stuart, Technical Director for Abbey Windows (Thames Valley) Ltd, received the tender for a multi-storey student accommodation building in Leicester he knew Liniar windows would be the ideal solution for the seven-storey building – even in the face of challenges like wind load and vast expanses of glass at height.

Liniar’s EnergyPlus 90, a 9-chamber profile that complies with the exacting Passive House standards, even with laminate, has been designed to provide superior acoustic values as well as outstanding thermal and security specifications. Because of the rise in the amount of new housing projects on repurposed land, frequently located close to noisy transport networks, architects are increasingly specifying more stringent acoustic requirements, as well energy efficiency and high security.

Self-builders Jo and Andy Thompson used Liniar windows and doors in order to create an 'energy positive' building. Liniar's multi-chambered profile helped achieve U-values below 1.0W/m2K and the couple are delighted with the results. The project was featured on the BBC2 show 'The House that £100k Built' in 2015.

One construction firm has described Liniar plastic log piling as a ‘godsend’ on a recent project. When a timber retaining structure was in danger of failing, Redrow Homes was called in to the estate in Pontllanfraith. They called in a sub-contractor to correct the issue and specified Liniar log piling as the ideal product to replace the existing wooden support. Click to read the full case study here

One of Birmingham’s oldest charities, the Birmingham Boys and Girls Union was established in 1906. 60 years ago, the charity moved to its current location, an extensive outdoor learning centre – the Woodlands Adventure.

When the owner of Hillview park, needed to tackle the deteriorating condition of one of their ponds his extensive research led him to an ideal and surprisingly strong product... Liniar log pile!

When a fabricator was tasked with supplying the windows for a new build property that would provide outstanding thermal efficiency, noise reduction and security, without compromising on style, they seized the opportunity to put Liniar’s new 90mm system to the test.

The challenge of transforming a 100-year-old school building in to upmarket residential homes is no mean feat – but that is exactly the task that one building firm has undertaken and the outstanding results puts them top of the class. Using a range of Liniar products, including windows, doors, roofline and a lantern roof the results are fantastic. The old Shirland Primary School, near Higham in Derbyshire, became available to buy after the school was relocated to a new building in 2011 and Linden Design & Build Ltd purchased it, with planning permission, in June 2014.

Recently, a long-time Liniar customer was scrolling through Facebook and came across an image of the new Elevate lantern roof. As an owner of two of the original PVCu Liniar lantern roofs, once he saw Elevate, he knew this would be the perfect replacement for his ageing, existing lanterns.

It all began with a double glazing business and an unusual request from a homeowner in 2011 for a ‘cat lock’. Formerly the owners of a successful double glazing business in Ipswich, Steve Vince and Peter Garlick had no idea then that they would go from a building a cat lock to the becoming the leading supplier of bespoke PVCu animal housing to animal welfare organisations across the UK.
