NEW “SANDWICH” WINDOW
TWO GLAZINGS USED A MODERN LONDON HOTEL A new type of window is being embodied in the extension work that is now in progress on the Regent Palace Hotel,. Piccadilly, 1 iondon. It supersedes the opaque, semi-opaque, or frosted glass; variety, and attains the desired object of privacy with some degree of artistry (writes a correspondent) . In the new type of “ sandwich ” window, two thicknesses of glass are employed, between which is inserted suitable lace curtaining, it combines privacy with a cosy homely appearance. It is actually a curtained window, in which the curtains may remain for years unruffled, clean, and tidy. This is but one of several striking innovations in the annexe of the hotel. The staff quarters contain every possible aid to the comfort and well-being of those in occupation. Many of the rooms have only one tenant, none more than two. Pitted wardrobes, built-in furniture, running hot and cold water, painted walls, and jointless floors are notable features. Three spacious recreation rooms for employees and an up-to-date laundry equipped with the latest machinery arc additional features.
Through the transference of stall' to Lliis annexe, the Regent Palace Hotel will be in a postion to house more than 1300 additional guests.
