Ecodor for new eco-neighbourhood

A Vicaima product story
Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Aug 14, 2008

Carvill Grou purchase more than 5,000 doors from Vicaima's Ecodor range for its latest eco-housing development at Woodbrook, Brokerstown Village on the outskirts of Lisburn in Northern Ireland.

The oak laminate faced doors were ordered direct from Vicaima Ireland.

The GBP60 million scheme is one of the largest residential developments in Ireland comprising 2 bedroom apartments and 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses.

Carvill plans to create a compelling alternative for those dissatisfied with conventional development and has based Woodbrook's infrastructure and architecture on that of old village settlements with strong references to the traditional designs of the surrounding County Down villages.

Woodbrook has a village green, a high street, a children's playground, primary school, office accommodation, old people's home and creche and is a true mixed use development.

Carvill has already won awards for its eco-housing projects and, at Woodbrook, it is using the very latest building materials and construction techniques to create a development, which will achieve a 'very good' eco-rating.

Every building component has been carefully selected with regard to its environmental impact and efficiency.

"Vicaima's FSC certified Ecodor range gave us just what we were looking for" says Heather Quinn, Assistant Land and Sales Manager for Carvill Group.

"We needed doors that were not only made from responsibly sourced timber, but would also help us deliver high quality homes." Vicaima's Ecodor range has a continuous pressure laminate faced veneer and is available in oak, ash, steamed beech, maple, cherry and wenge.

The range comprises a variety of inlay, glazing and grille options.
