Secondary glazing in Dollis Hill

The housing in Dollis Hill is largely interwar semis and terraces with bays, plus some post-war flats. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.

In modern homes with sound double glazing, secondary glazing is mainly worthwhile for noise, particularly in bedrooms facing main roads, railways or flight paths. For flats where the lease or freeholder prevents changing external windows, secondary glazing fitted inside is usually the simplest way to reduce traffic noise and heat loss.

The North Circular and Edgware Road run close by, and homes nearest them can benefit from acoustic glass. Most work here needs no planning permission, but Brent Council can advise on any local rules, which we check before quoting. Dollis Hill is about 9.1 miles from our Edmonton factory, and parking on residential streets is usually easy.

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.

• Reduces draughts and outside noise
• Suitable where replacement is restricted
• Panels open or lift out for cleaning
