The hotel benefits from city and harbor views, but the original systems required improvements in insulation, sealing, and noise control. The client wanted to preserve the boutique design while creating a quieter, warmer, and more energy-efficient environment. Slim thermal-break frames, insulated Low-E glazing, and highly sealed balcony doors were selected. Fixed and operable windows were configured according to room functions to balance views and natural ventilation. Coordinated dark framing complements the modern façade while reducing winter heat loss and surrounding waterfront noise.

Selected Challenges & Solutions

Water Tightness in a Rainy Climate

Prolonged rainfall placed high demands on sealing and drainage.

Multiple Seals and Pressure-Balanced Drainage

Directing rainwater away and reducing leakage at system connections.

Winter Insulation and Energy Efficiency

Expansive glazing could increase interior heat loss.

Thermal-Break Profiles and Low-E Insulated Glass

Improving thermal performance while preserving transparent views.

Urban and Waterfront Noise

Guest rooms required protection from road, activity-area, and harbor noise.

Acoustic Glazing and Airtight Frame Systems

Improving acoustic comfort through glazing, sealing, and installation details.

Customer Review“The upgraded windows and balcony doors have made the guest rooms noticeably quieter and more comfortable. Waterfront views remain open and clear, while the rooms feel warmer during cooler weather. The systems also perform reliably during prolonged rain, which was one of the most important requirements for this project.”
