Enfield Library

The silent treatment for award winning eco-friendly library

London Borough of Enfield

SCALA Civic Building of the Year - Runner up - Enfield Town Library and London Planning Awards (2010/11) WINNER Best Built Project Selectaglaze's challenge at Enfield Town's Library was to help bring the original 1912 building up to today's demanding standards of thermal and noise insulation while maintaining the Listed character of its Edwardian facade. To achieve this, Selectaglaze treated a total of 27 sash windows with a combination of vertical sliding counter-balanced units and Lift-Out units, thus enhancing the building's green credentials and, at the same time, keeping the noise of the town traffic at bay. Since this project was completed the Series 30 has been superceeded by the Series 31 lift-out.
