Acoustic glazing in Barkingside

The housing in Barkingside is largely 1930s semis, terraces, bungalows and flats above shops. 1930s homes on main arterial roads benefit most from acoustic units in the front bays, along with good seals, because gaps let sound in as easily as thin glass.

Victorian terraces often sit close to the pavement, so fitting acoustic glazing to front bedrooms first usually gives the most noticeable reduction in street noise. In flats above shops or near transport, combine acoustic glazing with well-sealed frames and acoustic trickle vents, since ventilation gaps can undo much of the glass's benefit.

The jobs we see most often here are swapping tired 1980s and 1990s uPVC for modern A-rated windows, rebuilding bays, and adding a new porch or composite front door. Each frame is made to measure in our Edmonton factory, about 5.6 miles away, and fitted by the same team that surveyed it.

Acoustic glazing uses laminated glass with a sound-damping interlayer, often combined with panes of different thicknesses, to reduce noise coming through your windows. It suits homes and businesses near busy roads, railways, flight paths, schools and nightlife, where outside noise affects sleep, work or everyday comfort.
