​Selectaglaze passes the test with flying colours.

Mr and Mrs Coombes moved to Oakham in Rutland, the smallest county in England, where they purchased a Grade II Listed Georgian house. The property was constructed in the 18^th Century and is one of the town’s landmark houses; built of local red and blue chequered brick under a Collyweston stone roof, it is full of charm. Due to its Listing, the original features had to be retained. The study, dining room and 2 bedrooms at the front of the property suffered from noise ingress and the rear bedrooms and living room were subjected to heat loss and draughts.

“When we walked into our bedroom in the winter and we could see our own breath, we just knew we had to do something to improve the thermal efficiency of the property.” Said Mr Coombes

A total of 12 units were fitted into 8 openings; many of which had insufficient window board depth to accommodate the secondary glazing, so extended sill timbers were fitted. All the grounds were colour matched to the secondary glazing, to negate the need for on-site decoration, reducing installation time and inconvenience to the owners.

All units including the two splay bays at the rear of the property blend in seamlessly and are barely noticeable.

“The secondary glazing has made a remarkable difference. We can now sit and have a civilised conversation in the dining room without the interruptions of passing traffic and the rooms at the rear of the property are a comfortable temperature. We are absolutely delighted with the final product and can only offer the highest of praise to all the staff from Selectaglaze involved with the project.”
