February 2020
We are very proud to have installed our magnetic secondary glazing at the National Trust's Hidcote Manor Gardens, in the staff offices – to keep everyone warm in rooms where other potential secondary glazing solutions had been considered out of the question.
Some of the rooms already had aluminium framed secondary glazing, still in working order, though looking a bit dated.
But the National Trust's Senior Building Surveyors chose Extraglaze for the 14 windows that had yet to be done – probably because these all presented significant challenges.
In particular Extraglaze was able to solve the following problems in ways only magnetic secondary glazing can:
maintaining period features
- tailored to follow arches
- with it's incredibly low profile on natural stone
- fitting the tightest space, behind shutters.
So in February, while flooding was affecting many areas of the country, we installed 38 panels:
complex and nevertheless discreet joinery solutions
most were shaped to match out-of-square frames
10 panels arched to our own templates
painted a stone colour & texture, or using our vinyl to match the existing paint
installed so that the shutters could still operate
frosted panels used in a WC and a bathroom so users now don't have to use blinds and no longer use the electric lights during the daytime
And best of all, all the windows can still be opened.
