An installation by Granada Secondary Glazing has created a quieter and more comfortable experience for guests at a NYX boutique hotel in north London.

The location of the NYX Hotel London Holborn on a busy junction in Southampton Row necessitated sound-proofing measures to keep out street and traffic noise.

A total of Granada Glazing’s 14 Horizontal Sliding units were installed in first-floor bedrooms facing the street to attenuate external noise without impacting on the visual aesthetics of the guest accommodation.

Powder-coated in a white high gloss finish, the aluminium frames support 6.8mm acoustic laminated glass to meet the required noise reduction level. When correctly installed, secondary glazing can make buildings up to 80% quieter by reducing noise levels by up to 54dB.

The secondary glazing was installed by Granada’s trade partners JRM Property Services Ltd during the hotel’s refurbishment for new owners Leonardo Hotels.

John Ashmore, director at JRM Property Services said: “Secondary glazing was specified as part of the hotel refit due the need to reduce noise issues as it is located on a busy junction. The secondary glazing looks fantastic and is very unobtrusive.”

Robert Cottam, Granada Glazing Commercial Sales Manager added: “Secondary glazing scores very highly in businesses, such as hotels, where creating a quiet and peaceful environment is essential for guests’ comfort and the overall enjoyment of their stay.”
