| The Granada Story: |
|
| The Granada story is one of on-going evolution and of
vision. From the very beginning in the early 1990's the
ground rules for the company were established to provide
your industry with the best secondary glazing system that
you could find. It's a testimony to our founding ideas
that over the years, Granada has grown from a small manufacturer
of secondary glazing systems to the market leaders of
today. No wonder that our systems are used in the country's
most prestigious locations such as St.Pauls Cathedral
and many other fine buildings that are our heritage. As
we moved into a new century however, our aims remain the
same, to make sure that you are provided with a product
that should never fail you. |
|
| The Granada Range: |
|
| The exclusive Granada range of secondary glazing is
supplied fully assembled and comprises an aluminium outer
frame joined to a seasoned hardwood surround which allows
for a neat, unobtrusive installation even in the most
difficult situations. A range of hardwood sub-frames and
scribing trims can be used to assist face fixing, reveal
fixing and the coupling of units. This allows the satisfactory
refurbishment of our largest primary windows. Suitable
for all types of premises including grade one and two
listed buildings, schools, colleges, hospitals, universities,
hotels and commercial buildings i.e. offices. |

Better by Design
We have a comprehensive range of styles to suit just about
every application, including Horizontal Sliders, Hinged
Units, Fixed and Lift-Out Units, Vertical Sliders as well
as Balanced Vertical Sliders and Tilt-in Balanced Vertical
Sliders. We can supply frames in white, silver or brown
as standard and can accommodate any R.A.L. colour upon
request to suit individual requirements. We can also provide
a wide range of glass types such as clear, patterned,
toughened, laminated and acoustic. Whatever your requirements
you can trust it to Granada. |
|
| Insulation Efficiency: |
|
| The Granada range of secondary glazing is renowned for
its thermal efficiency. Varying degrees of improved thermal
insulation can be achieved by using such glasses as Pilkington
K and Low E. If glass is thermally at risk then care must
be taken to specify toughened glass. The harmful effects
of ultra violet radiation can also be reduced whilst letting
in solar heat. In addition specialist films can be adhered
to the glass to further increase thermal insulation whilst
adding to the security of the product and the premises. |
|
| Noise Reduction: |
|
Granada's units have been tested for sound reduction
at the AIRO Acoustics Laboratory ( an accredited NAMAS
Testing lab, number 0483 ) in accordance with BS2750:
part 3 and BS5821: part 3 1980 : 1984, using a purpose
built sound transmission suite. The findings of these
tests can be seen by clicking Here.
These tests were carried out in November 1997 as part
of Granada's on-going research and development programme. |
|
| The Granada Commitment to Quality: |
|
At Granada we use BS5750 part 2: 1987 as a foundation
on which to build a genuine quality control programme,
implemented to control customer supplied designs.
We ensure that a weekly production / quality control meeting
is held to co-ordinate the differing aspects of sales,
production, quality and despatch.
We personally check all calibrated equipment monthly and
make all necessary adjustments.
Monitoring of the critical parameters is carried out by
our skilled craftsmen during all stages of fabrication.
This system ha been implemented by ourselves since early
1997. Furthermore, we feel that because of our continual
attention to maintain and improve standards, the quality
of the products we supply exceed the industry norm. |
