Super E® Housing Program showcases at the Building Centre

To coincide and compliment the launch of the Super E® housing program in the UK, a permanent exhibition will be on display at the Building Centre in London from 23 January 2002.

The exhibition will outline the aims of the program, which is to combine the best of Canadian and UK housing construction and expertise. Super E® offers homebuyers houses, which are affordable and cost effective, with lowered operating costs that reduce the monthly expense of home ownership. Super E® houses use the best quality designs, products and systems that meet strict performance and warranty standards, ensuring an extremely durable building in any climate.

Jason Kee, Business Development Officer for the Canadian High Commission in the UK commented: “Exhibiting at one of the world’s largest exhibition and single source information centre’s for the construction industry is a key part of our marketing strategy. We are confident that the UK market will welcome the Super E® concept and are looking forward to a successful program in the UK.”

In addition, the Super E® exhibit will run in tandem with an exhibit of building products from the four Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador, this region of Canada is a leading producer of timber frame homes and innovative materials for the construction industry.

Jason Kee, Business Development Officer at the Canadian High Commission commented: “The Atlantic Provinces of Canada have much to offer the British construction industry. A ready supply of raw material, efficient production methods, and low labour costs keep the price of these products low. Fast and frequent shipping services can ensure a speedy and reliable delivery to a number of British ports. What more, a strong British pound against a weak Canadian dollar makes Canadian building products products good sense.”

This new exhibit will feature timber frame housing systems, hardwood flooring, wooden doors and windows, heat recovery and ventilation systems, moulding, exterior cladding and aluminium railings and columns. Many of the companies represented on this exhibit will also be exhibiting at the London DIY & Home Improvement Show.
