SSSHHHHH… VENTROLLA MAKES THE GRADE AT KINGSTON LIBRARY

15 April 2009

Ventrolla South East were tasked with renovating 15 sash windows at Kingston Library and have restored the decayed window frames to their original appearance.

Although initially the client believed all 16 would need to be completely replaced; only one new sill was required where the timber was beyond repair.

This landmark building is grade two listed, meaning it was essential to restore as many of the sash windows as possible to retain its distinctive look and character, with the added benefit of reducing the overall cost.

Most of the windows could not be opened properly and it was not possible to ventilate the building, meaning the library would get uncomfortably hot.

In addition to restoring the functionality of the windows, they were also upgraded with our patented perimeter sealing system which minimises draughts, external noise and dust ingress.

Kingston Library celebrated its centenary in the current building on Fairfield Road in May 2003. The library plays host to regular events such as ‘Rhyme and Story Time’ sessions for under fives and an adult readers group.
