Granada
- The Lighthouse
http://www.theglazine.com/archive/projects19.html
Originally
designed over 100 years ago by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, The Lighthouse is one
of Glasgow's most popular architectural landmarks.
Granada Secondary
Glazing Ltd was chosen to supply and install the secondary glazing for The Lighthouse.
There were a number of reasons why The Lighthouse chose Granada and secondary
glazing. Among them that Granada claims to achieve as much as 52dB noise reduction
in practice/on site by applying secondary glazing methods and special acoustic
materials.
The Lighthouse opened to the public in July 1999 as part of
Glasgow' s year as UK City of Architecture and Design. It has been transformed
from the near derelict home of the Glasgow Herald newspaper to a stunning contemporary
centre with exceptional views across the city. The final stage of the refurbishment
was to install secondary glazing.
The Lighthouse is now more than a visitor
attraction; it offers public access to culture, heritage, architecture and design.
It is regularly used to hold seminars and workshops for educational purposes.
It is also known as Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the City.
Jim Egan, Director of Works at The Lighthouse said 'From initial contact and placing
a bid to completion of the work, Granada reacted well to the project. We wanted
sound reduction rather than anything else, and we are entirely satisfied with
the end result. The windows have not only solved the problem of noise but they
look good too. They did a very good job.
Granada Secondary Glazing Ltd
is a UK supplier of bespoke secondary glazing with its head office and origins
rooted in Chesterfield. Modern fabrication techniques allow considerable freedom
of choice with secondary glazing design - horizontal or vertical sliders, hinged
or lift out units, arched or curved heads - and Granada's secondary systems have
been developed specifically to meet all these requirements.
