Features

Low Solar Gain Glazing

Whilst lovely to have, large windows can make rooms hot. The glazing used in many of the windows at Knights Park helps to eradicate solar gain so the rooms don’t get too hot in the summer.
Rooflight*

Rooflights installed in the roofs provide an extra source of daylight all year round, as well as a simple way of letting warm air escape during the height of summer.
*Only on selected properties
Extra Large Windows

The large windows used throughout Knights Park let in plenty of natural light, reducing the need of switching the lights on. Aluminium composite windows are also highly durable and low maintenance.
Smart Meters

Smart meters are provided so you can keep an eye on your electrical consumption.
Triple Glazing

Many of the windows are triple-glazed and incorporate special coatings that reflect heat back into the building. It means you lose about 80% less heat than single glazing and 50% less than typical double glazing. As a result you can sit or sleep very close to the window without feeling cold, as well as it offering excellent sound proofing.
Eco Appliances

Energy efficient kitchen appliances, aerated showerheads and taps help keep electricity and water consumption low.
Domestic Recycling

Kitchens have an integrated bin which are separated into sections for domestic recycling. Composting bins will also be provided to some houses.
Cycle Store

All homes have a secure parking place for bikes – one for every person.
Airtightness

All joining elements of the buildings are virtually sealed, and common air leakage problems, like letterboxes, have been solved through design. On most new build developments of more than 40 homes, only 5% of the properties would be tested for airtightness – at Knights Park, every home will be thoroughly tested.
Warm and Draught-Free

High levels of insulation and triple glazing keep homes warm and the heating turned down.
