GL has become one of the UK’s most trusted suppliers for compliant new build housing. Designing and supplying LED lighting, safety alarm systems, EV charging, solar PV, battery storage, electrical accessories and more, they give developers a single point of contact across the systems regulators scrutinise the closest. It’s exactly why seven of the UK’s top ten housebuilders already work with GL.
Supporting projects from specification to aftercare
Working alongside housebuilders, contractors, M&E consultants and installers, GL’s account managers and UK based service team are on hand from initial specification right through to aftercare.
Everything from a single plot to large residential schemes, GL has built its name on getting the technical detail right and standing behind it afterwards.
As the Future Homes Standard changes what compliant means for new build homes, GL’s product range is built to keep pace. The safety alarm collection has been engineered to BS 5839-6 Grade D1/D2 specification, making it a regular choice on developments where compliance isn’t negotiable. The same attention to detail runs through GL’s whole portfolio with products designed to exceed regulations. The entire downlights catalogue is fully fire-rated and delivers over 105 lumens per watt, surpassing the Future Homes Standard while remaining competitively priced.
EV-IQ is GL’s EV charging brand, providing both residential and commercial charging solutions that scale for any project. Their flagship 7.4kW AC EV charger comes with Part S compliance and load management built in, giving housebuilders an easy route to compliance on every plot and contractors a charger designed to install quickly.
A set of partnerships broadens the offer further, and GSE Integration is the clearest example of why they matter. Solar PV was never part of GL’s core range, but with the Future Homes Standard pushing developers towards a 40% ground-floor solar requirement, GSE gives GL a way to bring in-roof solar into the same conversation as fire safety, lighting and EV charging, rather than leaving housebuilders to source it separately. For housebuilders, that means one trusted relationship instead of several, with solar handled by a partner offering proven UK wide distribution and in-roof integration expertise, at a time when hitting Future Homes Standard deadlines is becoming a race against the clock.
Training for the technologies of tomorrow
GL’s E-home Training Hub sits in Worcester as a purpose-built training facility rather than a simple showroom, with live, working demonstrations of infrared heating, heat pumps and battery storage running side by side under one roof. Developers, site managers, installers and contractors can get hands-on with the full product range and leave with proper installation and software training.
A range of Sunsynk’s inverters and batteries is on display, backed by free training sessions on installation and optimisation. GSE has built a dedicated in-roof solar demonstration rig on site, giving installers real hands-on practice with a system most have only read about. The training rooms themselves are also available to hire, giving housebuilders a professional space to run their own meetings and workshops.
