Newly renovated church blessed with warmth from secondary glazing installation
D
owning Place United Reformed Church is situated in Cambridge. It was formed in June 2018 following
the joining of Emmanuel and St Columba’s United Reformed Churches, which were previously situated in different locations, but in close proximity. Downing Place United Reformed Church occupies the former St Columba’s building in Downing Place, which was built in 1891 in the Early English style and stands within the Historic Core Conservation Area. The redeveloped St Columba’s site has been extensively renovated as part of a £3.3 million project led by Archangel Architects into an open and inclusive church, and community centre. The main contractor Coulson Building
Group contacted Selectaglaze to discuss secondary glazing solutions for the purpose of thermal retention. 56 units were installed; comprising of four
Series 45 side hung casements in the Chapel and 52 Series 46 slimline fixed lights installed
secondary glazed units will reduce heat loss by up to 50%. High performance compression seals will almost eliminate drafts and ensure much greater comfort near the window. A large circular primary window in
in the Nave. The slimline Series 45 hinged casement system is suitable for treating many types of window and standard sized doors. Neat flush hinges and slim handles or flush locks provide clean internal lines. The Series 46 slimline fixed light can be shaped or curved to a full circle – ideal for church windows that do not need to be opened regularly. Little maintenance is generally required to well designed and constructed stained glass. Both the Series 45 and 46
the Nave was perhaps the most complex treatment due to its shape and elevated position. Having previously worked on a similarly large circular window, a timber mullioned cartwheel frame was crafted to securely hold the secondary glazing. The timber subframes were built in segments with each mullion split to be screwed together within the window opening during installation, forming the cartwheel frame. Seven bespoke Series 46 fixed light segments were made for it and glazed with 6 mm toughened glass to give additional rigidity and structural strength.

Originally built in 1889, the Natural History Museum at Tring houses one of the world’s largest and priceless collections of stuffed and preserved animals. With the existing flat roof sections of one building nearing the end of their life, swift remedial action was required.
Faced with a variety of challenges for each section, BMI, working with IMA member, Corby-based Premier Roofing Systems, specified a number of products from its comprehensive range of bitumen membrane solutions. The recommended solution was the BMI Profiles XL system incorporating BMI Icopal Thermazone insulation.

www.icopal.co.uk From neglected bungalow to forever home
When Mark and Jayne Holdsworth bought a neglected 1960’s bungalow, they could already envisage a fantastic forever home. With the building situated on a steep slope, the floors needed to be installed to take the levels of the house up before making the building
watertight. The Holdsworths’ builders’ merchant recommended West Fraser’s CaberDek and the results spoke for themselves! “We needed a hard-wearing heavy-duty product that provided protection from the elements. With CaberDek that’s exactly what we got!” said Mr Holdsworth. Samples of CaberDek can be ordered on the website.
