Buildings at risk range from those that are virtually on the point of collapse to those that are vacant, but can also be inhabited buildings<\/h2>\n

Most are thermally inefficient, draughty, noisy and insecure; all of which can be helped through the addition of secondary glazing<\/p>\n

Both heritage bodies<\/a> and conservation professionals recognise that buildings at risk, when renovated, must be adapted for modern usage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Selectaglaze secondary glazing systems using low emissivity glass can reduce heat loss by more than half and achieve a U-value of around 1.9. With sealed unit glazing this is further reduced, and a figure as low as 0.8 can be achieved.<\/p>\n

Bespoke manufacture and high-performance seals ensure the tightest fit, reducing air infiltration and almost eliminating drafts.<\/p>\n

Secondary glazing is also an efficient method of reducing background noise, helping create a more relaxed environment. Sound travels through a primary window by a vibration of the glass. Adding secondary glazing forms a cavity, which reduces resonance and provides a second barrier for the noise to travel through.<\/p>\n

Selectaglaze secondary glazing creates a second barrier of protection from the inside that can prevent the most determined thief or even protect the occupants from the effects of bomb blast.<\/p>\n

Securing the contents of a building is essential; be it physical high value objects, highly sensitive data or the people within.<\/p>\n

The Old Toll House<\/a>, located on Clopton Bridge in Stratford-upon-Avon, was built over 200 years ago in 1814. Since its closure as a timber yard in 1991, the Toll House has stood empty and subsequently fallen into serious disrepair.<\/p>\n

Historic building contractors Stone-Edge<\/a> took on the project to restore and refurbish the grade I listed Toll House.<\/p>\n

The original windows were removed and repaired ready for reinstatement. Even after thorough refurbishment, the performance of the single glazed timber windows was deemed inadequate for modern needs.<\/p>\n

Stone-Edge, together with Mark Evans Architects<\/a>, approached Selectaglaze to deal with the Old Toll House\u2019s requirements. Selectaglaze installed eight units on the ground and first floor.<\/p>\n

It was critical that any secondary glazing treatment blended in with the original gothic headed casements. Selectaglaze Series<\/a> 45\u00a0double side hung casement with matching gothic arch was chosen.<\/p>\n

Situated within the Bower Ashton Conservation Area<\/a> in Bristol is the Lower lodge Gatehouse; a grandiose grade II listed former entrance to Ashton Court Estate, built in 1805.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the building was left abandoned and fell into such disrepair that it featured on Historic England\u2019s Heritage at Risk Register<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike much of our architectural history which is left to ruin, this building has been given a new lease of life. As the Gothic Revival building is grade II listed, original features had to be retained and restored.<\/p>\n

Appointed main contractor, Ken Biggs, approached Techniglaze, a partner of Selectaglaze for over 20 years<\/a>, for assistance with secondary glazing. Eighteen openings were treated, all very irregular in size and shape. The high-performance seals and use of low-E glass in the secondary glazing has improved the thermal performance of the building and created a more comfortable environment.<\/p>\n

Like another former building at risk Selectaglaze has worked on, The Lighthouse, Kings Cross, which has now become offices; the once-derelict Gatehouse has now been repurposed as a museum, gallery and heritage hub.<\/p>\n

It makes Selectaglaze proud to be involved in projects that sensitively restore and retain an architectural history for future generations.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1966, Royal Warrant holder Selectaglaze offers noise insulation, improved building energy performance, environmental control<\/a> and certified security for all building types from new builds to buildings at risk.<\/p>\n

Selectaglaze will be showcasing a variety of secondary glazing products at Futurebuild from 5\u20137 March at ExCel London<\/a> (Stand D21).<\/p>\n
