67 MEDIEVAL HOUSEHOLD HIDING ANCIENT PRIORY RUINS ENRICHED WITH SECONDARY GLAZING The Priory is a beautiful Grade II Listed residence in the village of Blythburgh. A medieval chapel sits at the west side, with a 17th century farmhouse, a rebuilt 15th century timber framed property and early 20th century additions making up the remainder of the house. The Priory shares its grounds with the ruins of a 12th century Augustine Priory which has been the subject of an archaeological investigation by Channel 4’s Time Team. The task of making the Priory a comfortable home for the Saunders family was paramount. One key issue was heat retention. Mrs. Saunders found a solution in Selectaglaze secondary glazing. Selectaglaze installed 15 units comprising of the Series 10 - 2 and 3 pane horizontal sliding units, finished in either walnut or black matt on the ground floor, corridors and bedrooms. The Chapel windows were treated with white Series 45 single side hung casements with a gothic arch to match the opening. The Saunders family were so impressed with the quality of the secondary glazing, that they decided to order more for other areas of the house. A further 16 units were ordered and installed – a combination of the Series 10 - 2 and 3 pane horizontal sliding units. Established in 1966 and Royal Warrant Holder since 2004, Selectaglaze has a wealth of experience working on all manner of building styles. Selectaglaze will be showcasing a variety of secondary glazing products at Futurebuild from the 5th – 7th March, ExCel London at Stand D21.
