CUSTOM-MADE NATURAL POLYX-OIL TREATMENT DURABLE YOUR STYLE
SECONDARY GLAZING FROM SELECTAGLAZE
Sherborne House, 119-121 Cannon Street, EC4 is a multi-let
property situated in the heart of London’s financial district Cannon
Street. Clad in Portland stone, this historic office building has
been the subject of a recent transformation; which has included
external and internal refurbishments.
The design for the office space on the second floor was entirely
open plan and a major issue was the ingress of the outside noise
emanating from the hustle and bustle of one of London’s busiest
roads. The recommended ambient noise level in a meeting room
is 35-40dB and a cell office 40-50dB, whereas outside street
noise levels can be 70-80dB.
When there is a cavity of at least 100mm between the primary and
secondary glazing a reduction of 45dB is achievable. An additional
benefit of secondary glazing is thermal retention, with the use
of high performance twin seals, it virtually eradicates unwanted
drafts and a U-value of 1.8 is possible.
Twenty1 Construction contacted Selectaglaze, to provide them
with a solution to improve the acoustic insulation of the existing
primary windows, which could not be replaced. On completion of
the building works a survey was undertaken for 17 new secondary
glazing units from the slimline range. Both series 10 horizontal
sliding and series 20 vertical sliding units were used.
Overall the results look fantastic, in particular the featured sub-
lights on the front elevation and the four full radius headed
vertical sliders on the rear - the space now looks modern and
fresh.
The newly refurbished second floor offices are now an ideal
environment to house a new occupier, thanks to Selectaglaze
soundproofing the space against the road traffic noise.
Established in 1966 and Royal Warrant Holder since 2004,
Selectaglaze is the leading specialist in secondary glazing. It
boasts a wealth of knowledge and a range of extensive products
to suit all projects.
