Glazing for hotels and hospitality
In hospitality the glazing is judged by a guest at two in the morning. Acoustic performance on a city-centre elevation does more for the reviews than any other single element of the building fabric.

What matters most on this kind of building
Acoustic performance on noisy elevations
Asymmetric laminated units — different pane thicknesses with an acoustic interlayer — outperform standard double glazing by a wide margin on traffic and nightlife noise.
Room-by-room phasing
Work is sequenced against the booking sheet, taking rooms out in small blocks so occupancy and revenue are protected.
Entrances that handle volume
Automatic sliding sets with a lobby arrangement control draughts and heat loss at a busy entrance far better than a single swing door.
Out-of-hours restrictions
In most hotels the noisy work has to happen during the day precisely because guests are asleep at night — the opposite of a retail programme.
Services
What we are usually asked for
Commercial aluminium windows and doors
Commercial aluminium windows and doors are thermally broken framed units built for heavy use — far higher cycle ratings, wider spans and stronger hardware than residential equivalents, with a polyamide break separating inner and outer frame.
Double glazed unit replacement
A double glazed unit, or IGU, is two panes bonded to a spacer bar with a sealed cavity between them.
Automatic doors
An automatic door is a powered entrance — sliding, swing or telescopic — controlled by activation and safety sensors and governed by BS EN 16005.
Commercial shopfronts
A commercial shopfront is the glazed street elevation of a retail or hospitality unit, normally thermally broken aluminium framing with toughened or laminated safety glass, an accessible entrance door and, on most units, a security shutter or grille.
Glass balustrades
A glass balustrade is a protective barrier where a fall is possible, built from laminated toughened glass either clamped in a base channel or fixed on standoffs.
