Modern Accoya windows

Dyson’s Institute of Engineering and Technology

London-based architectural practice, WilkinsonEyre, has created an undergraduate village for the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology. The landscaped village of timber modular-housing pods, with communal amenities and a central social and learning hub, is based within the Dyson, Malmesbury campus in Wiltshire. As well as establishing a new style of student accommodation, the project breaks ground in design, master planning and precision engineering of truly modular prefabricated building technologies for rapid construction.

Designed by WilkinsonEyre, the village can accommodate up to 50 students with visiting staff. The high-quality and energy efficient living pods are prefabricated from cross-laminated timber (CLT), Accoya and other materials for rapid on-site assembly. Arranged in units and rising two to three-stories to create a welcoming social space to the campus alongside the larger industrial buildings.

The pods are arranged in a variety of cluster configurations, within a crescent-shaped site, following the curve of the surrounding landscaped embankment. Each cluster consists of up to six units, including a shared kitchen and laundry space at mid entry level, and an entry area with reception and storage. To create the feel of a student village, each pod has its own front door, with lower pods opening onto landscaped garden, and higher ones accessed by paths on curved earth ramps and stairs to the upper level.

Beautiful Renovation

Orangery for residential home in London

Accoya wood was selected by expert bespoke joinery company, Westbury Garden Rooms for a recent orangery renovation project on an elegant residential home in London.

The project was completed in six weeks and included the installation of external wooden doors (a four leaf folding door set), four traditional weighted box sash windows, fascia mouldings and a centrally located lantern roof allowing for streams of natural light to enter the space, to create a stylish yet refined aesthetic.

Westbury Garden Rooms selected Accoya as the core material within the project, due to its moisture resistance and Class 1 durability. With a 50-year guarantee above ground, Accoya gives home-owners peace of mind that they will have a long-lasting, high performance wood that requires minimum maintenance.

The extension itself provides generous dining, seating and transition zones within an open-plan space which has been set within a broad perimeter ceiling, whilst the orangery’s sense of height and volume is enhanced by the centrally placed lantern. Security shutters were incorporated into the main elevation – discreetly sitting within its fascia enabling optional and additional privacy to the home-owners.

The beautifully relaxed feeling is brought together with the home-owner’s addition of colour and texture in their stylish soft furnishings and window dressing.

The wood was finished and painted using Marston & Langinger Fava.

testing

Tested to the limit

After running tests and reviewing external and independent data, the BRE concluded that Accoya wood, provided best design practice is followed, has a service life expectancy of 60 years when used in exterior applications such as timber windows, external doors, cladding, wooden window frames and balconies. The BRE stated that Accoya wood shows excellent durability and stability properties. This position has been positively corroborated by TRADA and Heriott Watt University / Imperial College London conducting similar service life reviews.

To enable building regulation Part Q compliancy, Accsys in collaboration with UKAS approved test houses of timber window and wooden door manufacturers, ancillary suppliers to our industry and the BWF Federation has developed a security global assessment. This document allows for the successful security testing of Accoya windows and doors to be cascaded down to window and door manufacturers, thus limiting the need for further testing.

Accoya thermal conductivity has been assessed by IFT Rossenheim, Germany in accordance with EN1226: 2001 and then developed into the required declared value format, under the most rigorous European assessment methods by the EN ISO 10456: 2008 procedure for determination of declared and design thermal values.

In comparison to other standard wood types for joinery, Accoya thermal conductivity is:
› Superior to softwood by 8%
› Superior to hardwood by 30%

These improved levels provide options in design, in terms of achieving a higher U- value for the same window design by switching timber type, or alternatively using
a more preferred aesthetic or production friendly design without significantly compromising energy efficiency.

Acting as a barrier between interior living space and the outside world, windows and doors are essential elements of any building and play an important role in the security, thermal insulation, noise levels and appearance of a home. Whether wood, vinyl (uPVC), aluminum or even a combination thereof, windows and doors today can be customized to match your individual needs and requirements. For example, if both energy efficiency and security are your goals, we can help you find the perfect combination of window frames and sills to achieve higher levels of both.

When it comes to colors, today’s choices extend far beyond the classic favorites such as white and brown. With our wide selection of RAL colors and many patterns, even vinyl windows can radiate the warm appearance of wood. This enables windows and doors to both reflect the personal tastes of the owner as well as fulfill the construction requirements.

Our online product configurator allows you to customize the window types below by choosing the dimensions, shape, colors and more yourself and then purchase them at a great price.

• Vinyl (uPVC) windows and doors
• Wooden windows and doors
• Aluminum-clad windows and doors

In addition to the choice of window frame, glazing is one of the most important features that determine a windows performance. Glass window panes have to serve multiple purposes simultaneously such as providing thermal insulation, noise reduction and security. These come in addition to the obvious function of allowing natural light in and providing either privacy or a view depending on the window’s location.

Special requirements based on the product’s location, such as basement windows or balcony doors can be easily selected and configured. Safety glass, for example, can be chosen to eliminate the danger of falling shards of glass should a window break while at the same time providing additional security against unwanted entry. Specially manufactured functional glazing such as single sheet security glass or laminated safety glass also serve as fire control features.

These glass types protect residents and guest not only from burglary and injury from shattered glass, but can also protect them from smoke and fire depending on the type of glazing chosen (e.g. German fire classes G and F)

Door Prices by Material Type

Door materials are usually the largest cost factor. Slab and pre-hung types range from basic hollow core styles for $40 to $90 each up to solid oak and beveled glass for $1,000 to $1,400 or more. Extremely high-end varieties — typically double and wrought iron — range from $3,500 to $6,000. Add sidelights — also known as sidelites — and transoms for an added $600 to $2,000.

Doors can be made of wood, wood veneer, steel, aluminum or fiberglass — to name just some of the options. Exterior types will be sturdier than interior varieties and will have a higher installation price. Steel units are the most affordable option, and a range of options existsfor each kind of material. Though style and application play a significant role, material type is one of the largest factors impacting the budget.

Each material comes in a variety of styles including:

• Flushed: no designs, good for garages, and back and side entries.
• Paneled: can have panels made of fiberglass or wood.
• Arched: has an arch-shaped design.
• Glass: has glass windows or insets.
• Pocket: slides into the wall.
• Bifold: folds in half — used mostly in closets.
• Bypass or sliding: slides past an adjacent door, like sliding closet or patio types. Decorative: often with wood or metal scrollwork.

Wooden Door Cost

Wood is popular choice with an extremely wide variety of styles, ranging from $40 to $5,000.

• Interior: $40-$500. Come in hollow and solid
• Engineered solid wood: $150-$500 for exterior applications
• Exterior solid: $500-$5,000. Unit prices depend on whether it is a single or double, has sidelights, a transom, glass, or internal miniblinds.

Steel Door Prices

Homeowners can expect to pay between $500 and $1,230 to install or replace a steel entry door. The cost of standard steel types ranges between $150 and $300. Adding glass increases the price to $300 to $1,200. Double or those with sidelights can range anywhere from $500 to $2,500 with an average range of $1,000 to $4,000.

Steel is cheap and long-lasting. It can handle weather almost as well as pricier fiberglass and wood options. It requires some maintenance if it’s dented or scratched. Steel is especially prone to rust if scratches and dents aren’t addressed quickly. Consult with a door professional before replacing or installing.

Wrought Iron

Higher-end wrought iron doors run anywhere from $1,500 to $7,000. Most often, these use a steel base, though wood with wrought details, usually in the glass, is common.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass doors cost anywhere from $150 to $5,000 and more though most fall in the $250 to $2,000 range. They’ll come in both smooth and wood grain textures. They are low maintenance and great for energy efficiency.

Composite Wood

One of the most economical varieties, composite and engineered doors cost between $40 and $500 on average. Some run as much as $1,000 or more. Composite wood is made from wood particles that are adhered using heat, pressure and glue.

Aluminum Metal

Most aluminum doors range from $100 to $2,000. This type is popular in both interior and exterior applications such as screen, entry and wardrobes. Sliding styles price at the high end of this range.

Solid Core vs Hollow Core Door Costs

Solid cores average about $50 to $200 more than their hollow counterparts. Labor costs for both remain about the same at $100 to $300 per installation. Solid doors are typically made from wood particles or foam. Solid core is not to be confused with solid wood. Hollow core typically has a honeycomb of cardboard slats with thin veneer faces.

Door Replacement Costs

Removing and replacing an existing door can require more work than a new construction, and can cost more, depending on the condition of the frame. Labor for replacing a door in an existing gram can be as low as $100. The project can reach $1,500 or more if reframing is required, especially for exterior openings. Though the type and materials you choose make the largest impact on project pricing, consider these factors when budgeting.

Removing Interior & Exterior Doors

Removing a door takes a professional one hour at $70 on average. Disposal fees will vary by location but expect at least $25. Exterior varieties are much more expensive than interior. The same goes for removal. Exterior installs deal with weather, layers of material and homeowner traffic. The main interior concerns are dust and debris.

Cost to Replace a Door Frame

Frames will cost you $150 to $250 if it’s created on-site. Many replacements come as pre-hung doors with the jamb already installed. If you need the wall reframed, that will cost about $7 to $16 per square foot.

If an existing frame has succumbed to rot, you’ll need repairs or replacement before installing a door. If there’s any other maintenance, that will add to the price.

Reframing Front, Back & Other Exterior Doors

Enlarging or modifying an entryway requires reframing at a rate of $7 to $16 per square foot or more. It also entails working with siding, house wrap, insulation and electrical rewiring. Expect to pay an average of $75 per hour or more for an electrician.

Fitting it in an Existing Opening

Fitting a door to an existing opening averages $900 for installation. An existing opening means there is already a fitted hole. However, even with an existing hole, a door needs about 1 inch of space between the rough-in and frame for proper alignment on pre-hung types. Get at least three professional quotes before proceeding with any projects that include framing.

Older homes or homes with unusual sizes may need the hole re-cut to allow for custom and modern sizes. This is also true when you decide to enlarge any opening. This can increase the cost of installation significantly from a simple replacement. If you’re putting in a new door where there was none, then cutting the space will bring the installation price to the highest end of the spectrum.

Replacing a Door in an Existing Jamb or Frame

If it’s just a matter of hanging the same size in an existing jamb, it’ll cost the price of the door. In the home, that’s between $30 and $150 typically while exterior ones run anywhere from $300 to $1,500 or more. This is suitable for a DIY install with minimal tools needed.

Price to Move a Door

Moving a door costs the same as installing a new one with one exception: filling in the hole left by the old door. It’ll cost an average of $1,800 to close up the old opening. This means framing the opening and hanging drywall. Framing costs about $10 per square foot while drywall runs an additional $1.50 per square foot. Exterior work will be much higher due to siding and waterproofing requirements.

Replacing the Jamb

Replacing a door frame or jamb runs $250 plus any disposal fees. Jambs often need replacement due to rot and damage from use.

DIY vs. Hiring a Professional

Even experienced DIYers will find installing a door difficult. The simplest pre-hung types require skill to install correctly so it swings properly and lines up flush with the frame and stop.

You should use a professional to avoid the headache of redoing the job and possibly needing to purchase additional replacement materials. But interior installs can make excellent DIY projects for those with the patience and discipline to line up every angle and check every corner.

For almost all exterior installs, hire a door installation professional. Exterior units need to be weather tight and provide proper security. Improper installations can lead to expensive water damage to the walls, floors and basement.

How much does commercial steel door installation cost?
