Secondary glazing in Earl’s Court

Around Earl’s Court you will mostly find Victorian terraces converted to flats, mansion blocks and mews. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.

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. 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.

Getting consent is usually the first job. The freeholder and the Royal Borough both have a say, and much of the area sits within conservation areas. We prepare drawings that make those conversations easier. Rooms facing Cromwell Road or Earls Court Road gain a lot from acoustic glazing, and we arrange parking and access with the building before fitting day.

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
