A range of products from Scolmore Group have been included in a recently completed development of luxury barn conversions in rural Northamptonshire. The three-property development includes installations of Click wiring accessories, Elucian consumer units and Ovia downlights.
Village Farm Barns is a select development of three properties in Mears Ashby, Northants. It forms part of Village Farmhouse which was built in 1848 and occupies an edge of village location in one of Northamptonshire’s most desirable villages. The stone and brick luxury barn conversions were created from the original farm buildings on the development to provide bespoke homes with character.
Finished to a high specification, each of the spacious three bedroom homes has been fitted out entirely with Click Scolmore’s Definity Complete screwless wiring accessories in the Polar White finish. Scolmore Group company, Ovia, is the preferred choice for the lighting solution with the Inceptor Omni V2 downlights installed throughout. Each property is also benefitting from the installation of a Click Elucian consumer unit.
Chris Thorneycroft, Managing Director with Thorn Electrical, was responsible for the electrical installation. Thorn has over a quarter of a century of experience working throughout the Northamptonshire region, within a range of electrical sectors including residential, commercial, educational and healthcare.
Chris has known and worked with Johnathan Roberts, Group Key Account and Specification Manager with Scolmore Group, for many years and has specified products from across the Scolmore Group of companies for a wide a range of installation projects.
Chris comments, “There was a clear vision from the client at Village Farm Barns of how each home would be finished, and we didn’t think twice about proposing the Click Definity Complete range. I’ve worked with Johnathon for more than 16 years and have always been impressed with his knowledge and expertise in selecting the right products to enable us to offer our clients the perfect project finish every time.”
Chris chose products from the Click Definity Complete screwless range, in the polar white finish, to provide a sleek, modern look for the wiring accessories installation. All Click switch plates are modular as standard, and this allows for endless combinations to suit multiple installations within both domestic and commercial environments.
Chris also selected Inceptor Omni V2 downlights for installation, which are fire-rated, tri-colour, dimmable downlights that form part of Ovia’s premium Inceptor product range. The range incorporates Ovia’s award-winning FlameGuard system technology and is I-joist rated for 30, 60 and 90 minutes. It boasts a recess depth of just 53mm, thanks to the Flow integrated driver, which means there is no need for an insulation bracket. Omni V2 is supplied with push-fit Flow connectors which feature push-in, low maintenance terminals to offer another time-saving benefit for installers. With the driver now incorporated into the Flow connector, this means that insulation can be laid over the fitting.
Chris concludes, “Whether wiring accessories, lighting or consumer units, Scolmore Group is able to offer a huge range of products in a variety of styles and finishes that are all of exceptional quality and very competitively priced. This is all bolstered by ready availability and excellent service from the team throughout the organisation.”
