Originally built as townhouses in the early 19th century the properties were converted into office space after the Second World War, and have now been restored to their original purpose - luxury homes fit for 21st century living. John Sisk & Sons Ltd sought advice from Selectaglaze to assist in reducing the external noise levels. Secondary glazing is fitted to the room side of the existing primary windows and is the most effective way of reducing unwanted noise. When there is a gap between the primary and secondary glazing of at least 100mm, 45dB is achievable. Along with noise reduction, secondary glazing also helps in reducing heat loss, creating a more comfortable living space. Working closely with Redrow London and John Sisk, Selectaglaze first installed a sample unit. Satisfied with the performance and aesthetics, Redrow London engaged Selectaglaze to complete the rest of the building. A total of 69 units were installed including curved units. Each secondary glazed unit is tailor made to ensure the closest fit. As secondary glazing is a discreet and reversible adaptation, it is ideal for Listed properties and is widely accepted by most heritage bodies. Established in 1966 and Royal Warrant Holders since 2004, Selectaglaze has a wealth of experience working on all building types. Selectaglaze will be exhibiting at the BIID Annual conference on the 16th of June at the Royal Geographical Society.
