Muir Homes chooses Calor LPG for Strathord Park development

Housebuilder Muir Homes has opted for LPG from Calor to provide central heating and hot water for 79 new-build homes at its Strathord Park development in the former mill town of Stanley in Perthshire.Like most housebuilders, Muir Homes uses mains gas for the majority of its sites but Strathord Park’s rural location meant this was not an option. Keen to give its homebuyers the convenience and familiarity of gas, Muir Homes decided LPG was perfect for their development’s needs.The new homes, which include 20 plots of affordable housing, combine spacious layouts, eye-catching design elements, a high-quality specification and attractive outdoor areas to create generously-sized family homes. The development is being crafted using the latest building techniques and materials to deliver a mix of attractive and sustainable housing. Housing types range from two- bedroomed mid-terraced homes to four-bedroomed detached houses.All incorporate energy-efficient features, including gas central heating, photovoltaic panels, double-glazing and high levels of insulation to reduce their impact on the environment and deliver lower fuel bills for buyers. Muir Homes takes a ‘fabric first’ approach to home construction, doing its utmost to ensure the very fabric of the building contributes to saving homeowners money. This involves ensuring the new homes are insulated and airtight, reducing their energy demands and cutting energy bills.
