Make Hotel Rooms More Comfortable with Secondary Glazing

    Surveys show that roughly half of a hotel's energy consumption is used for heating so raising insulation levels will improve guest satisfaction and cut running costs.

    Selectaglaze secondary glazing includes two efficient draught seals and with a low emissivity glass, heat loss can be reduced by up to 65%.

    Guests want a 'good night's sleep' so keeping unwanted sound out will be at the top of a hotelier’s agenda. The recommended sound level for a hotel room is 30-35dB at night, but busy city centre locations can easily reach 70 -80dB. With an average window reducing sound levels by about 30dB, additional protection is vital. Using standard glass noise levels can be reduced by 42-45dB and up to 50dB if higher performance glass is introduced.

    Creating a peaceful and comfortable environment is key to maintain room occupancy levels and avoid licences being revoked. This will ensure the peace and quiet needed for that all-important period of sleep for all. A secondary window fitted with simple locks and strengthened glass will act as a deterrent by presenting a second barrier to entry. Hotels near high profile buildings may also have to exercise a 'duty of care' by managing the possible aftermath of a bomb blast. An additional benefit of laminated glass is its ability to absorb UV light and so protect furnishings and fabric from fade.
