Acoustic glazing in Friern Barnet

The housing in Friern Barnet is largely Edwardian and interwar semis, terraces and converted flats. 1930s homes on main arterial roads benefit most from acoustic units in the front bays, along with good seals, because gaps let sound in as easily as thin glass.

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. 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.

The North Circular runs along the southern edge, and properties near it hear heavy traffic day and night. Well-sealed frames with acoustic glass can make a real difference to sleep. Getting here from Edmonton is a straight run of about 5.1 miles along the A406, which keeps surveys and fitting simple.

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.
