Modern units from Crittall Windows are to replace the original steel windows as part of a refurbishment programme at the Thistle Marble Arch, London. The company has been directly employed by Thistle to supply a quantity of its W20 units in a likefor- like replacement programme which will be staggered over 25 weeks. This is due to the hotel being located on Oxford Street, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the country, so the on-site work must be unobtrusive, safe and fast. The building is part of the Portman Estate and has an exterior design in the late Art Deco period. This architectural style is to be retained, reflected by the choice of windows. Constructed post second world war, the building is a structure of six storeys above a row of high street shops. Although the hotel underwent a renovation programme in 1998, the original steel windows are still in place. The decision to replace them means that more updated units can be used, with the most significant change from single to double glazing.
