Triple glazing in Chiswick

The housing in Chiswick is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Queen Anne style houses and Georgian riverside homes. 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.

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.

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.

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
• Suits low-energy and retrofit projects
