Selectaglaze provides an essential ambiance in a
Georgian house
Mr and Mrs Coombes moved to Oakham in
Rutland, where they purchased a Grade II
Listed Georgian house.
The property was constructed in the
18th Century and is one of the town’s
landmark houses; built of local red and
blue chequered brick under a Collyweston
stone roof, it is full of charm.
Due to its Listing, the original features had
to be retained. The study, dining room and
2 bedrooms at the front of the property
suffered from noise ingress and the rear
bedrooms and living room were subjected
to heat loss and draughts.
“When we walked into our bedroom in the
winter and we could see our own breath, we
had to do something to improve the thermal
efficiency of the property.” Said Mr Coombes
A total of 12 units were fitted into 8
openings; many of which had insufficient
window board depth to accommodate the
secondary glazing, so extended sill timbers
were fitted. All the grounds were colour
matched to the secondary glazing, to
negate the need for on-site decoration. All
units including the two splay bays at the
rear of the property blend in seamlessly
and are barely noticeable.
“We can now sit and have a civilised
conversation in the dining room without
the interruptions of passing traffic and
the rooms at the rear of the property are a
comfortable temperature.”
Working on all building types from new
build to Listed, Royal Warrant holder
Selectaglaze offers a wide product range to
make buildings warmer, quieter and safer.
