A DEPRIVED BUILDING AND LOCAL COMMUNITY RECEIVE SOMETHING TO GO ‘ PING-PONG ’ OVER
35 Cosway Street , was granted a Grade II * Listing in 1954 . It is a distinctive deconsecrated church in the Lisson Grove Conservation Area . Greenhouse Sports was founded in 2002 as a sports coaching charity . Recently , they acquired 35 Cosway Street , located in one of the most deprived wards in London and have refurbished the building into a state of the art sport centre .
Latitude Architects was engaged to work on the plans for the renovation , which were undertaken in consultation with Historic England .
Surrounded by local shops , residential areas and community buildings including a school ; sound insulation was imperative to stop noise escaping and disturbing local residents . The original single pane stain glass windows could not be changed , so did little to prevent the outbreak of noise . Therefore , Latitude Architects specified the use of secondary glazing to provide sound insulation .
Cosmur Construction ( London ) Ltd , experts in sensitive renovations of Listed buildings , were appointed as Main Contractor , who approached Selectaglaze to discuss the treatment and scheduling of secondary glazing works to the windows .
88 units were manufactured and installed , which were a combination of Series 42 fixed lights with curved and standard heads , as well as Series 80 3HS contra sliding units . Some of the Series 80 were 1.9m ( h ) x 2.3m ( w ) and weighed over 130kg when all assembled , so fixing points had to be checked for their strength to maintain integrity of the installation . The units came in 3 separate panes to enable manual handling and accessing the specific areas for installation .
Established in 1966 and granted a Royal Warrant in 2004 , Selectaglaze is the leading specialist in the design , manufacture and installation of secondary glazing .
Selectaglaze will be exhibiting at 100 % Design 2018 in Olympia , London at Stand D325 on the 19th-22nd September .
