Secondary glazing in Chiswick

Homes in Chiswick are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Queen Anne style houses and Georgian riverside homes. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.

On listed buildings, secondary glazing is often the preferred way to improve comfort, but check with the conservation officer as listed building consent may still be needed.

Bedford Park, Strand on the Green and the riverside are conservation areas, and Hounslow Council expects replacements to match the original designs closely. Away from those, owners have more freedom and often add aluminium doors at the rear. Noise is a common complaint: the A4 Great West Road, the Hogarth Roundabout and aircraft heading into Heathrow all affect parts of Chiswick, so acoustic glazing is worth discussing.

Secondary glazing is a discreet second window fitted on the inside of your existing windows, leaving the originals untouched. It suits listed buildings, conservation areas, flats where external windows cannot be changed, and anyone wanting to cut noise and draughts without replacing period windows.

• Keeps original windows in place
• Reduces draughts and outside noise
• Panels open or lift out for cleaning
