Wain Homes Molbrook

Molbrook is a new Wain Homes development in South Molton, North Devon. The site consists of almost 200 two to five bed, energy efficient homes. Operating for over 50 years, Wain Homes is committed to making energy-saving homes to the highest standard, of which the company constructs 1,200 every year.

Energy efficiency was paramount when constructing these North Devon dwellings; built with solar panels, EV charging stations and wastewater heat recovery systems. Complementing these energy saving features is H+H Celcon Plus Blocks Solar Grade, installed in the inner skin of the external cavity walls.

Why H+H?

Celcon Blocks were chosen for the superior thermal efficiency and low U-values, that can be achieved with H+H’s Solar Grade variant. Wain Homes help their buyers save money on their energy bills by incorporating these innovative and energy-efficient building materials into their construction projects.

Building with H+H aircrete also allowed for smaller cavity widths than using blocks made of a denser material which helped Wain Homes to maximise floor space of the homes at Molbrook.

H+H Celcon Plus Blocks, whilst large, are also light weight, making them both easy to handle and quick to lay, reducing labour time for a more cost-effective build.

H+H blocks and panels are all manufactured of thermally efficient aircrete. The range enables housebuilders to reach the thermal insulation and airtightness performance required by current Building Regulations and the upcoming Future Homes Standard.
