Maintaining Aesthetics at the Historic Dockyard Chatham
scheduled ancient monument
need to blend in with surroundings and be completely unobtrusive
cold and draughts affected building occupants
slimline secondary glazing installed into staff beads
The Sail and Colour Loft in Chatham’s Historic Dockyard dates back to 1734. Today the building houses the Dockyard Trust administration team and the University of Kent Business School.
The building’s 18th century, partially panelled windows were draughty and cold. Having investigated and rejected traditional subframe secondary glazing as being too obtrusive, the Trust approached Storm for a solution.
Installing secondary glazing into the staff beads of the existing sash windows made our secondary glazing virtually invisible both inside and out.
