Number 20, part of the Howard De Walden Estate, has been transformed into a high spec orthopaedic clinic. This involved the fitting of secondary glazing to the front elevation of the building, to enhance the acoustic performance and thermal retention of the original glazing. The original timeworn windows were draughty and allowed high levels of noise ingress.

Selectaglaze installed 30 units. Series 41 side hung casements were selected, due to the units having a flush glass to frame detail which lessens the build-up of dust and dirt on ledges. All the casements were glazed with sealed units housing integral blinds, which help maintain a clean environment, as well as to ensure patient privacy.

The installation was a success and the thermal and noise enhancements can already be felt in the rooms. With the addition of secondary glazing, it is hoped patient stays will be quiet, comfortable, private and clean.

Founded in 1966 and Royal Warrant holders since 2004, Selectaglaze has a wealth of experience working on all building types from Listed libraries to new build hotels with each unit bespoke to the individual needs of the client.
