School Curtain Walling, Window Replacement & Asbestos Removal by CN Glass

“CN Glass were first class from start to finish on this project and in some instances went above what was agreed, an example of this was when they assisted in clearing additional rooms of furniture and arranging for fire detection equipment to be moved for the school.  The staff and management on site communicated progress exceptionally and the site was clean and safe during the work.  They worked with a sub-contractor for the asbestos works who worked to the same high standards as CN Glass and made sure a high level of safety was maintained throughout.  Ongoing communication has been excellent from CN Glass with the school requiring some additional items of work to be completed which they have done as additional orders.  Gary, Scott and the Team are easy to work with and very responsive when you have questions, queries or need advice.”

CN Glass were appointed to carry out essential window and door replacement works at Holy Trinity Primary School in Chipping Norton.

The project focused on replacing sections of the existing glazed curtain wall and single-glazed windows in the Early Years Classroom, which had become inefficient and uncomfortable due to poor thermal insulation.

As part of the upgrade, our team also replaced the rainwater goods, fascias, and soffits to match the new installations, enhancing the overall look of the building. New external doors were also fitted to improve security and functionality.

With only a 4-week timeframe to complete the works before the start of term, we delivered a comprehensive glazing and refurbishment package – including the management of extensive asbestos removal in the fascias and window surrounds – all within schedule and to the highest safety standards.

Challenges & Solutions

  1. Thermal Efficiency & Comfort in the Classroom – The original single-glazed curtain walling left the Early Years Classroom cold and uncomfortable for students and staff. Our experts installed a new double-glazed curtain walling system, dramatically improving thermal performance and creating a warmer, more comfortable learning environment.
  1. Asbestos Removal & Compliance – Asbestos was identified within the fascias and window surrounds during the works. We worked alongside a trusted specialist asbestos contractor to ensure that all asbestos materials were safely removed, fully complying with health and safety regulations and school asbestos management procedures.
  1. Tight Schedule & Additional Requests – With only 4 weeks available, we adhered to a well-structured work programme to complete all the glazing and external works. The team went above and beyond, assisting the school with clearing additional rooms and coordinating with fire safety contractors to move detection equipment where necessary.
  1. Aesthetic Upgrade – As well as improving the thermal performance of the building, CN Glass ensured the new curtain walling, windows, fascias and rainwater goods all complemented the existing aesthetic of the school, delivering both functional and visual improvements.

The Results

  • Improved Thermal Comfort – The double-glazed curtain walling provides a much warmer classroom environment, reducing heating costs and creating a better learning space.
  • Compliance & Safety Assured – All asbestos removal was handled safely and efficiently, giving the school complete peace of mind.
  • Enhanced Appearance – The new fascias, soffits, and rainwater goods give the school exterior a fresh, modern look while blending seamlessly with the building’s existing style.
  • Responsive Service & Ongoing Support – The whole team maintained excellent communication throughout and are proud to continue to support the school with follow-up works as required.
