Modus - The first fully integrated window and door system
Modus is the first fully integrated PVC-U window and door system in the UK, capable of producing eight different product types from a single system. It’s an innovative 75mm front to back dimension six-chamber design, the first to utilise dual material extrusion technology (DMET) in the UK. DMET precisely directs 50% virgin and 50% post-consumer recycled PVC-U into the profile simultaneously, with post-consumer material used only in the core of the profile, so finish quality and colour fastness is uncompromised. That’s why Eurocell can offer an unrivalled 12-year profiles guarantee for Modus.
Ultimate flexibility – 8 systems in 1
Modus is a contemporary architectural design with a choice of no less than three casement window sash styles – Standard, Slim Rebate and Flush – a style to suit every type of building. The Standard Sash option has a traditional PVC-U window aesthetic, which makes a feature of the window sash rebate, combined with slim sight lines thanks to the 55mm high outer frame profile. The Flush Sash option creates a distinctive appearance. Characteristic of traditional windows, it’s fully flush internally and externally yet offers class-leading thermal performance. The Slim Rebate Sash option creates a more contemporary aesthetic than traditional PVC-U windows. At just 7mm thick, the rebate offers sleek sight lines down the building facade, to complement current architecture. Internally, the sash is fully flush, for clean lines and a premium feel.
Modus reversible windows are the most energy efficient of their type in the UK and offer fully flush sash aesthetics. Bespoke designed hinges and handle complement the slim sight lines.
Modus tilt and turn windows offer a new stepped sash design, which goes one step further than Modus casement windows by creating a seven-chamber profile for maximum thermal performance. No steel or aluminium reinforcements are required and an optional third brush pile seal completes the high specification.
Modus French, composite and residential doors can be fabricated in a range of styles to suit the building architecture. Doors are available with a PVC-U low threshold to prevent cold bridging, which is Building Regulations Part M compliant with the addition of aluminium ramps (available separately).
Modus - Technical Performance:
High quality impact resistant white PVC-U extrusion utilising 50% post-consumer recycled PVC-U, producing a rigid six-chamber profile to BS EN 12608 and manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001 and BS EN ISO 14001.

Eurocell's Modus Windows Central to Energy-Saving Plots at Cornich Park Development
EUROCELL'S MODUS WINDOWS CENTRAL TO ENERGY-SAVING PLOTS AT CORNISH PARK DEVELOPMENT
With a legacy spanning generations in windows and doors, H Jarvis Ltd, based in Redcar, has been at the forefront of providing cutting-edge solutions to the housing market.
For over nine years, it has partnered with Eurocell, the leading manufacturer, distributor, and recycler of PVC-U building products, leveraging its expertise to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient systems.
Triple-glazed Modus windows from Eurocell were selected for two energy-efficient demonstration homes at the Cornish Park development in Spennymoor, Durham.
As part of Lovell's Tomorrow Homes pilot program, these homes are designed to showcase innovative construction techniques aimed at meeting the challenges of Net Zero and the Future Homes Standard 2025.
Featuring the latest construction technologies such as air-source heat pumps, infrared heating, air-sourced cylinder, photovoltaic panels, battery storage and wastewater heat recovery to decarbonise homes across the UK, the homes set a new standard for sustainable housing. H Jarvis and Lovell have partnered to bring these energy-saving solutions to life, with Eurocell's Modus windows playing a central role in achieving high levels of energy efficiency and thermal performance.
Collaborative Solution
For these Tomorrow Homes, Eurocell's Modus window system was chosen due to its superior thermal performance and sustainability. The triple-glazed windows help reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, providing lower energy bills for homeowners.
They save up to 27% on standard double-glazing costs and contain an average of 50% post-consumer recycled PVC-U, making them not only energy-efficient but also environmentally friendly. The Modus system is designed to help housebuilders exceed the requirements of the Future Homes Standard 2025 while providing high levels of security through internal beading, which is tested to the highest standards and BBA-certified.
Iain Gillies, Divisional Design & Innovation Manager at Lovell comments on Plots 65 and 66: "It's vital to work towards a greener future for housing, which is why we have built the exemplar demonstration homes at Cornish Park that feature the most energy-efficient, sustainable aspects of a home. We are delighted to have formed a strong partnership with H Jarvis on these innovative properties to install Eurocell's Future Homes-ready Modus triple-glazed windows. They are the perfect choice for our homes as we transition towards Net Zero, as they contain recycled PVC-U, have low U-values, and provide high thermal performance."
A Proven Partnership for Success
H Jarvis' reputation as a trusted fabricator stems from decades of experience and their ability to meet the complex demands of modern housing. Through precision engineering and a commitment to excellence, H Jarvis ensures every product meets the rigorous standards required for projects like these.
Dean Hawkins, Northern New Build Business Development Manager at Eurocell, explains:
"It's amazing to see our market-leading Modus window profile being used in such a forward-thinking project, Cornish Park is just one example of how the great environmental impact of this range allows housebuilders to tackle sustainability targets."
Eurocell Modus 75mm Profile Window System Delivers Exceptional Design & Durability
Eurocell Modus 75mm Profile Window System Delivers Exceptional Design, Durability, and Sustainability for Student Housing Development.
Modus 75mm profile window system in anthracite grey chosen to replace the original aluminum and timber windows.
Enhancements include louvre details for ventilation and integrated glazed tilt-and-turn functionality, contributing to a modern living environment.
Sustainable choice: The Modus 75mm profile window system contains over 50% post-consumer recycled content.
Eurocell window solution steps up to replace original specification at University of Northampton campus.
Product benefits including aesthetic appeal, guaranteed long term performance, sustainability and cost efficiencies made the Modus 75mm profile window system the right choice.
As more students seek further education opportunities, expectations around the quality and standard of living accommodation and facilities on campus are growing.
A recently opened £350 million state of the art campus, with the capacity to deliver accommodation for 1,000 students, at the University of Northampton has set a new standard in this regard. Located on the university’s Waterside campus, several modern student accommodation buildings have taken their place alongside an on-site hotel, townhouses and various learning and sporting facilities, to offer contemporary living spaces at the heart of university life.
Revising the Window Specification to Meet Budget and Design Demands
Following the start of the campus construction project, Eurocell – along with fabrication and installation partner, Unique Window Systems Ltd – were asked by the main contractors, KIER Construction to assist with the specification and installation of the window solution.
Issues had arisen with the original aluminium and timber composite window choice which was causing budgetary concerns and creating unplanned delays to the construction timescale.
Following discussions between the stakeholders, a revised window specification was agreed. It was based on the installation of Eurocell’s Modus 75mm profile window PVC-U solution in an anthracite grey finish. Able to replicate the performance guarantees of the initial window types, Modus 75mm profiles could also crucially maintain the aesthetics of the originally specified aluminium composite choice to reassure local planners that the proposed solution was appropriate for the design.
Critically for the project, by using Modus 75mm profiles the overall cost for the window installation across the 1,000-bed facility was value engineered to satisfy the development’s budgetary constraints.
Further enhancements to the original window specification helped to meet the design objectives. These included the addition of a louvre detail to provide for a background/ rapid vent requirement, whilst the provision of additional light into the living spaces was achieved through using a glazed tilt-and-turn Modus 75mm profile window in place of a spandrel panel.
Kelly Hibbert, Head of Commercial Sales from Eurocell, comments: “The Modus 75mm window system played a key role in achieving a seamless aesthetic design for the Waterside Campus, while also delivering considerable cost savings. Combining exceptional energy efficiency with sustainability, the system incorporates 50% recycled material, underscoring its environmental credentials. This project highlights how the right sustainable specification can deliver a contemporary design without compromise.”
Sustainability and Cost Efficiency Drive the Modus Choice
Sustainability sits at the heart of the Eurocell offer. Using its own recycling plants that transform waste PVC-U door and window frames into new and reusable PVC-U profiles through a closed loop recycling scheme, it is helping to drive efforts by the construction industry to increase the prevalence of greener solutions that support the environment. Such a sustainable approach was employed on the Waterside campus project, with all the installed Eurocell Modus 75mm profile windows containing at least 50% of this recycled content (post-consumer waste or PCW).
