A Warmer Prospect
»»Heating bills at a Cheshire
school were cut dramatically as soon as its
windows were replaced with high rated
energy efficient units from Cheadle Glass and
Glazerite Windows Ltd.
Marple Hall School had been getting by
with its original metal framed single glazing
for many years but the resulting heat loss
became all the more evident as soon as
the new windows went in and lower bills
began arriving, according to Cheadle Glass
Commercial Manager Karl Minter.
Cheadle Glass was not the cheapest bidder,
he said, but with the support of Glazerite, the
installer was able to show the right credentials
and the right product specification to win
the contract. More than 600 windows were
installed in four phases over 22 weeks. As well
as overall energy-efficiency for all the frames,
low solar glass was used to combat heat buildup on large expanses of south-facing glass
and lower floors were laminated for added
security.
Karl added: “It is always a pleasure to do
a good job for anyone but it was especially
satisfying when the client could see the
benefits so clearly straight away.”
