Grade II Listed Old Street Magistrates Court and Police Station, has been converted into a 5* boutique hotel. To transform this Grade II Listed building, a reduction of noise ingress and improvement of thermal performance was a prerequisite. The primary windows could not be removed so Selectaglaze was approached by contractors McAleer and Rushe to provide a solution. 106 units were installed including curved, raked, and a beautiful double-floor feature window, which was 5.287m high and 2.045m in width. Secondary glazing is an independent window installed on the room side of a building, which reduces noise ingress, making a reduction of 45dB easily achievable. Furthermore, secondary glazing can reduce heat loss by up to 50 per cent. With great attention to detail paid to the design and build of this magnificent conversion, Old Street Hotel is on target to achieve a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating. Selectaglaze is the specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of secondary glazing, with fifty years’ experience of working on all types of building.
