As every Hotelier knows, rooms that offer comfort and tranquillity play a major role in attracting guests to an Hotel. This is becoming ever more difficult to provide as noise levels rise and the debate on energy consumption grows momentum (a Carbon Trust survey has shown that Hotels use nearly half their energy for heating).
An effective solution for providing good nights sleep and reducing energy usage is to install purpose designed secondary windows.
Established in 1966, Royal Warrant holder Selectaglaze Ltd., the UK’s leading designer of secondary window systems, provides units that arrive fully fabricated from their factory. Working closely with front of house, installation can be completed with minimal disruption and usually without affecting room occupancy.
The secondary windows are discretely fitted on the room side of the primary window and offer sound reductions ranging between 45dB and 55dB.
These performance levels are supported by independent tests and assessments. A comprehensive set of acoustic tests from the Taywood Centre provides specialists and acousticians with reliable sound reduction (Rw) values across the company’s full product range and work with the Centre for Window Cladding and Technology demonstrates that Selectaglaze’s systems can improve the thermal performance of a window by more than 60%.
The use of strong locks and anti-bandit glass will deter intruders and help provide guests with peace of mind. Selectaglaze is the only secondary glazing company with products accredited to “Secured by Design”. The company’s units are fully tested and certified at a number of levels for containment of blast, protection against intruders and even protection against ballistic attack.
