the original theatre. Fitted with modern lighting and sound
systems, the rehearsal room has the latest connectivity and
networking capabilities.
New steel windows from the Clement W20 range were
chosen for this new space. The new metal frames were
polyester powder painted in Jet Black (matt) and great care
was taken choosing the glass for the two striking modular
bays at the front of the building: SunGuard SuperNeutral
62/34 was chosen for the outer pane, offering very high light
transmission while ensuring energy savings through solar
protection and thermal insulation, krypton gas was used for
the cavity and 4mm of toughened Planibel Grey was used
for the inner pane.
Private Residence, West Sussex
This country office in West Sussex is one of Architectural
Designer Pauline Sutton’s latest developments. The brief was
to convert a residential outbuilding to provide both a home
office and an art studio, all with minimal impact on the
historic integrity of the 18th century building.
After carefully repairing the oak timbers in the roof, new
felt, battens, insulation and re-used handmade clay tiles
were added. Two Clement 0 rooflights were fitted and
dressed with bespoke lead work. The spaces were completed
with two new oak doors, the stripping back of some old
brickwork, lime mortar repairs and new electrics.
As the rooflights were slightly out of reach, brass pole
winders were fitted and a winding crank is used to open and
close the rooflights.
Clement Conservation Rooflights have achieved a British
Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) Window Energy
Rating of A+. This is the highest category within the
BFRC’s rating system, indicating that the product is highly
insulated, significantly reducing heat loss and leading to
lower energy bills.
