The single glazed\u00a0patio doors were a\u00a0little\u00a0rickety, but the minor draughts and\u00a0noise from outside did not disturb them to warrant replacing them. This all changed in the winter of 2019, upon the arrival of their newborn.<\/p>\n<p>The living room was chillier than other areas of the house, due to the single glazed patio doors, which had not been changed since the house was built in the early 70s.<\/p>\n<p>New Barnet railway station is a stone\u2019s throw from the\u00a0couple\u2019s\u00a0house, so they were now concerned\u00a0about\u00a0the levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selectaglaze.co.uk\/benefits\/window-noise-insulation?utm_source=february&amp;utm_medium=online_pr&amp;utm_campaign=noise%20insulation%20secondary%20glazing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">noise<\/a> from the\u00a0passing trains.<\/p>\n<p>Having searched\u00a0various ways to improve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selectaglaze.co.uk\/benefits\/thermal-uvalue-secondary-glazing?utm_source=february&amp;utm_medium=online_pr&amp;utm_campaign=thermal%20insulation%20secondary%20glazing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thermal insulation<\/a>, it turned out that installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/selectaglaze-secondary-glazing-6\/87189\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secondary glazing<\/a> to the primary single glazed sliding doors would be a cheaper solution. The opening was approximately 2m x 2m and it was vital that the treatment would be as discreet as possible, matching the sightlines of the current patio doors.<\/p>\n<h3>Optimum noise and thermal insulation<\/h3>\n<p>Series 10 two-pane horizontal sliding unit was purchased following advice from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selectaglaze.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Selectaglaze<\/a>. This unit is an adaptable secondary glazing treatment that allows easy access to the outer window and can be used to treat sliding patio doors.\u00a0\u00a0By installing an independent glazing system, heat loss can be diminished by up to 60%. The high-performance brush seals eradicate draughts, thus boosting comfort near a window. Timber grounds were set up in the reveal, which had skirting boards. Installers scribed into the timber frame to create matching grooves and nuances to fit flush in the reveal and over the skirting.<\/p>\n<p>In order for optimum noise insulation, the\u00a0Series 10 was set 100mm apart from the doors\u00a0and consequentially achieved an acoustic\u00a0reduction of over 40dB.\u00a0Furthermore, in terms of security, the\u00a0addition of secondary glazing to a set of patio doors provides a second barrier\u00a0to\u00a0entry.\u00a0The Series 10 was installed with 6.4mm laminated\u00a0glass\u00a0which\u00a0increased noise reduction as well as\u00a0offering\u00a0added strength and\u00a0security\u00a0to the unit.<\/p>\n<p>The clients\u00a0are\u00a0thrilled with their new secondary unit and have benefited greatly from the warmer\u00a0and quieter\u00a0living room environment, which has nullified any angsts they had over the comfort of their baby.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;I am so impressed by the look and performance of our secondary glazing. The whole point of getting our doors treated was to improve thermal and noise insulation for the benefit of our baby and it has done that,\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8211;\u00a0 Monika Chowdhury.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Royal Warrant Holder Selectaglaze is the leading specialist in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/secondary-glazing-an-office\/86962\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secondary glazing<\/a>, established in 1966 and has considerable experience of working within Listed and sensitive buildings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Selectaglaze<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 01727 837271<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:enquiries@selectaglaze.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enquiries@selectaglaze.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.selectaglaze.co.uk\/secondary-glazing-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Secondary Glazing Housing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/selectaglaze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Selectaglaze<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The installation of secondary glazing to patio doors\u00a0in a suburban home in\u00a0Cockfosters, North\u00a0London\u00a0makes a living room comfier\u00a0for a couple\u2019s\u00a0young child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[306],"tags":[279,23907,714,586,35249,35250,13176],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172516],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-88509","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-building-control-news","7":"tag-environment","8":"tag-glazing","9":"tag-heating","10":"tag-insulation","11":"tag-noise-reduction","12":"tag-acoustics","13":"tag-sh-selectaglaze","14":"stakeholder_rel_tag-selectaglaze"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Secondary glazing solutions for baby\u2019s comfort in North London home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The installation of secondary glazing to patio doors\u00a0in a suburban home in\u00a0Cockfosters, North\u00a0London\u00a0makes a living room comfier\u00a0for a couple\u2019s\u00a0young child\u00a0\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/secondary-glazing-2\/88509\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Secondary glazing solutions for baby\u2019s comfort in North London home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The installation of secondary glazing to patio doors in a suburban home in Cockfosters, North London makes a living room comfier for a couple\u2019s young child\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/secondary-glazing-2\/88509\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
