Triple glazing in Barnsbury

The housing in Barnsbury is largely Georgian terraces, early Victorian squares and converted period flats. Triple glazed units are thicker and heavier, so they rarely suit slim traditional profiles in conservation areas, where secondary glazing may be a more acceptable alternative.

On Victorian terraces, triple glazing is best paired with wall and loft insulation improvements, since windows alone will not solve heat loss through solid brick walls. In flats near main roads or railways, triple glazing can help with comfort and noise, though acoustic laminated double glazing is sometimes more effective for sound alone.

A lot of these houses are now split into flats, so the freeholder may need to sign off before work starts. We also plan deliveries carefully, as parking near Upper Street and the Caledonian Road is tight and often permit-only.

Triple glazing adds a third pane of glass and a second sealed gap, improving insulation and comfort beyond standard double glazing. It suits homeowners aiming for very high energy efficiency, people living near busy roads, and homes undergoing deep retrofits where walls, roofs and windows are all being upgraded together.

• Higher insulation than double glazing
• Warmer glass surface near windows
• Extra layer helps reduce outside noise
