Premier Public Relations<\/a> contacted Selectaglaze<\/a> for a window improvement to their offices, to create a more agreeable working environment by reaching a higher level of thermal insulation<\/a><\/h2>\n

Premier Public Relations\u2019 office located in a 19th<\/sup> century industrial building across five floors in Bucknall Street, London.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1983, Premier delivers marketing communications campaigns for the entertainment, arts and cultural industries.<\/p>\n

The large yellow brick Victorian building was first used as a warehouse, and therefore the thermal reliability and acoustic controls<\/a> were inadequate for its new use as an office space due to the original inefficient single glazed windows.<\/p>\n

Although a warmer environment was the main objective, Premier was also interested in what could be achieved to improve noise attenuation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Premier located close to a busy thoroughfare in WC2, high levels of outside noise could potentially distract<\/a> and affect staff efficiency.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Following on from a productive set of consultations on the best treatments for the draughty openings, Selectaglaze installed 115 windows across the ground, first, second and third floors. A wide range of products were combined for the specification, the majority of which were two and three pane horizontal sliders.<\/p>\n

The Series 30 lift-out unit was specified for one particular opening to allow easy access for cleaning. Another primary window was fitted with a single side hung casement, designed to suit the existing fenestration.<\/p>\n

The marginal frames created clean lines complimenting the existing primary windows, making them unobtrusive and virtually unnoticeable. Units were installed over a few weeks to guarantee that staff were not distracted.<\/p>\n

Thermal reliability<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018Sustainable St Albans\u2019 worked in tandem with Selectaglaze on this project, and provided them with a thermal imaging camera to measure the fluctuations in the thermal reliability of the primary windows before and after the addition of secondary glazing.<\/p>\n

Imagery is generated by thermography which pinpoints heat patterns in the infrared wavelength spectrum.<\/p>\n

Sensors within the camera identified these heat signatures and translated them into visible pixels.<\/p>\n

Although the resulting images were of a low quality, the differences are evident between treated and untreated windows.<\/p>\n

The working environment at Premier has been bolstered by the successful installation of secondary glazing, with staff remarking on a significant difference in thermal retention, with draughts virtually eliminated.<\/p>\n
