Many of the properties in Regent Street are being rejuvenated. A recent example is the conversion of two Grade II listed disused office buildings; Albany House on Regent Street and the other in Mortimer Street. These have been redeveloped to create 24 high-spec luxury apartments. The original single glazed sash windows had to be retained, so careful thought was given to dealing with traffic noise, drafts and heat loss associated with older windows. MSMR architects approached Selectaglaze to assist in developing a solution. Secondary windows fitted with a gap of 100-200mm will achieve noise reductions of at least 45dB. The frames are bespoke and tightly sealed which almost eliminates uncomfortable drafts and the use of thermally efficient low emissivity glass reduces heat loss, giving a U-value of around 1.9. One particularly noisy balcony was treated with large hinged secondary doors glazed with 10.8mm laminated glass. The inclusion of Selectaglaze secondary glazing contributed towards the properties being awarded an Eco Homes Excellent rating. Established in 1966 and granted the Royal Warrant in 2004, Selectaglaze is one of the UK’s leading secondary glazing specialist with extensive experience of working in buildings of all styles, including listed properties.

IKOslate a real ‘hit’ with Kingswood Golf Club
Tired of golf balls damaging the slates on the main golf club house roof, owners of Kingswood Golf Club in Surrey chose IKOslate composite roof tiles for the pitched roof of ‘The Lodge’, a new wing to the club. IKOslate not only met local planning criteria but also replicated the traditional slate tiles of the
existing buildings while providing a robust, sustainable alternative to slate, which is golf ball proof. IKOslate tiles, manufactured from mineral reinforced, 99 per cent recycled and re-engineered materials, have the same aesthetic qualities as slate because they are made in the same moulds, however, they benefit from being 80 per cent lighter, which makes transporting to and around site much easier.

Nordan windows for Sadlers Bridge Studios
The new enterprise centre Sadler Bridge Studios in Cathedral Quarter, Derby, opened this year with high specification timber windows from NorDan. The £4.4 million building is part of the £14.2 million Connect Derby scheme, owned and developed by Derby City Council. NorDan’s tilt/turn timber windows were sup- plied with solar controlled glazing to manage the heat of the sun on a warm day – creating a more comfortable, safe working environment for staff at their desks. Fixed lights and outward and inward opening glazed doors were also supplied. “Using our infrequently specified inward opening French casement style windows, featuring a tilt and turn master sash, and a side hung slave leaf, helped achieve the initial design brief, further demonstrating the breadth of the range of products we can offer,” says Ian Dowdeswell, regional manager for NorDan UK Ltd.
