London’s Iconic Lighthouse
Building - From mysterious
past to bright future
Neighbouring Kings Cross, sits
the iconic Grade II Listed Flat-Iron
Lighthouse building which has
been transformed into office and
retail space with the assistance of
Selectaglaze.
Constructed somewhere between
1875 – 1884 it has been neglected for
over 20 years. UK Real Estate took on
the task of restoring the building for
its new purpose as office and retail
space and appointed Balfour Beatty
as its main contractor. The project
wasn’t without challenges, with
two underground tunnels running
beneath; the building’s restoration
had to be carefully managed,
including tackling the issues of noise
and vibrations.
When there is a gap between the
primary and secondary glazing of
at least 100mm a noise reduction of
45dB is possible. Selectaglaze units
are a reversible adaptation and are
accepted by most heritage bodies.
Selectaglaze will be at London
Build Stand No: P21, the 26th – 27th
October.

The solution to the extensive
vibration issues was to isolate all
internal fixtures and fittings by
inserting elastomeric bearing pads at
all points of contact with the external
structure. Secondary glazing was an
intrinsic component of this solution
as a fully independent internal
window system allows the full sealing
of the internal envelope.
Selectaglaze is the specialist in the
design, manufacture and installation
of secondary glazing, with fifty years’
experience working on all building
types. Selectaglaze recommended
the use of 8mm toughened glass,
glazed to Series 25 and Series 90
vertical sliders and Series 41 lift out
units, designed to suit the style and
sightlines of the primary window. In
total Selectaglaze installed 83 units.
