Acoustic glazing in Canonbury

Around Canonbury you will mostly find Georgian and early Victorian terraces, squares and converted flats. Where original windows must stay in conservation areas or listed buildings, acoustic laminated secondary glazing with a wide air gap can be very effective.

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.

Where a house is listed, replacing the windows may simply not be allowed. Secondary glazing is then the sensible route: it cuts draughts and street noise while the original sashes stay untouched. We talk through both options when we visit, and we are about 4.9 miles away.

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.

• Noticeably quieter rooms near busy roads
• Laminated glass adds safety and security
• Works alongside double or secondary glazing
