A-HOY MATEY – IS
THAT SECONDARY
GLAZING WE SEE?
The Historic Dockyard at Chatham in Kent, was one of the Royal
Navy’s main facilities for four hundred years until it closed in 1984.
The Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust re-purposed the site as a visitor
attraction, as well as including places where people can live and
learn. Selectaglaze has worked with the Historic Dockyard Chatham
for 11 years, having first started work on the Grade II Listed Joiner’s
Shop back in 2008.
The Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, SEEDA and the Local Council
decided to develop the old Joiners Shop into a hub for creative
businesses. Kingswood Construction contacted Selectaglaze to
augment the thermal insulation of the existing single glazed timber
windows in the reception, office spaces and communal facilities;
some of which had to be 30 minute fire rated. A total of 85 units
were installed.
In 2010 Selectaglaze worked with the Historic Dockyard Chatham
when a number of units including the Series 10 3-pane horizontal
slider and the Series 30 Lift out units were installed at the Grade II*
Listed Armour Plate Shop.
Recently another building belonging to the Historic Dockyard
Chatham; the Grade I Listed Fitted Rigging House built in 1793,
received a £4.8 million cash injection from the National Lottery
Heritage Fund for its refurbishment and conversion. In the first phase
of works, 133 units were installed, the majority of which were the
Series 20 vertical sliding units.
Selectaglaze installed a total of 25 secondary glazed units to the first
floor of the Sail and Colour Loft, again for the purpose of improved
thermal retention. The Grade II Listed Engineering workshop, also
part of the University of Kent, underwent a refurbishment in 2013.
Established in 1966 and a Royal Warrant Holder since 2004,
Selectaglaze is at the forefront of the product development and
design of secondary glazing.
