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.

What is Composite Cladding? All You Need to Know
Your home is a big investment, and protecting it with composite cladding means you can enjoy it for many years to come. Fitted to the exterior of your property, composite cladding shields it from the elements, while boosting its kerb appeal. Take a look at our guide to find out all you need to know about composite cladding, including what it’s made of and its benefits.

What is Composite Cladding?
Composite cladding is fitted to the exterior of your house to protect the brickwork from wind and rain, as well as give tired exteriors a new lease of life. UK homes are typically made from brick making them more susceptible to moisture especially during our wet winters.
This type of cladding helps to protect your home from excess moisture, and it's also resistant to insect damage, warping, cracking and fading.
Eurocell’s Coastline Composite Cladding is BBA certified for strength, so it can withstand wind pressure of up to 2000 Pa, and it’s designed to drain water away from your house. The drainage and ventilation system also means that any water that does enter cannot build up.
How does it compare to other cladding materials?
Cladding made from materials like softwood may be prone to rotting, warping or insect damage, especially if it’s not treated. Timber cladding will also need upkeep like sealing, painting and staining which can push up costs and requires a considerable amount of time and effort.
Composite cladding, on the other hand, is very low maintenance and easy to clean. It only needs washing down with a hose once every so often, so you don’t have to buy any specialist products.
Composite cladding is certified to last over 35 years, making it a good long-term. It is also ISO 2796 accredited for dimensional stability, and BS EN ISO 178 for flexural strength.
If your exterior is older or looks unattractive, covering it with composite cladding can make it look instantly more appealing, including to any potential buyers. There is a wide range of colour options to suit your style, and you can choose from either horizontal or vertical cladding. As well as the exterior of your property, composite decking can also be fitted to outdoor spaces like sheds and garages.
How is composite cladding made?
Eurocell’s composite cladding is manufactured from 100% recyclable materials making it a fantastic eco-friendly option. It’s designed and manufactured in the UK too, and is able to withstand our weather conditions.
Formed from a triple composite of polymer resins, inorganic materials and acrylic colourants, the product is incredibly lightweight and easy to handle. It’s combined with a UV-stable colour cap during production, which makes it resistant to fading. And the material is patented, so you won’t get it elsewhere.
The clip-together fitting system makes installation a breeze compared to other materials like brick cladding, which takes longer and needs skilled tradesmen to fit.
Composite cladding is low maintenance because it doesn’t need painting or staining, so you can save you costs and time over the years. And unlike cement boards, it doesn’t release silica dust which has been linked to respiratory problems.
Where can you use Composite Cladding?
Composite cladding can be fitted to the exterior of your house. It’s also seen on office buildings, schools, shops, and shopping centres. It can be fitted to extensions, garages, outbuildings and garden rooms to complement your property, protect the structures and give it a modern finish.
Benefits of Composite Cladding
Lightweight: Composite cladding weighs just 5kg per board, so it’s easy to handle and won’t put unnecessary stress on your walls.
Easy installation: Designed with an easy clip-together system, you can save time and money with installation. It can also be attached to standard timber battens.
Moisture resistant: Compared to materials like brick, composite cladding is moisture resistant. It's designed to drain water away from your house.
Colour options: Available in six colours, you have a range of options to suit your style. You can also choose matching silicone sealants and trims.
Aesthetic: It has a stylish embossed wood grain finish, and you can complete the look with trims and closures. It’s also fade resistant, so will stay looking fresh over the years.
Guarantee: Eurocell’s composite cladding comes with a 10-year guarantee which protects it from warping, cracking and discolouration.
Safety: Composite cladding is designed with safety in mind and is fire tested to both UK and European standards. It comes with accreditations from international standards agencies.
Durable: Resistant to rotting, insect damage and moisture, it can protect your home for decades.
Low maintenance: It doesn’t need painting or treatment which can be hazardous to the environment and costly in the long run. Easy to clean, you just need a garden hose to wash it down once every six months.
Energy efficient: Composite cladding has thermal insulation properties which can mean savings on your energy bills.
Is Composite Cladding a Good Investment?
Composite cladding is a great investment for your home because it is quick and easy to install, yet is an effective way to protect your brickwork and give older properties a new look. It can save you money in the long run compared to other types of cladding, including timber, which needs regular maintenance and replacements, and brick which will need skilled tradesmen to install.
