Double glazing in Friern Barnet

Homes in Friern Barnet are mostly Edwardian and interwar semis, terraces and converted flats. Original 1930s leaded lights can be replicated within double glazed units, so you keep the decorative pattern while gaining modern insulation and quieter rooms.

If your flat's frames are in good order, replacing only failed or misted double glazed units may avoid the need for freeholder approval for new windows. Many Victorian terraces still have single-glazed sashes, and moving to double glazing is often the biggest single comfort upgrade, whether through new windows or secondary glazing.

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.

Double glazing uses two panes of glass with a sealed, insulating gap between them, cutting heat loss, draughts and condensation compared with single glazing. We fit it in new windows and doors or as replacement sealed units, suiting almost every home, from older properties still single glazed to houses with failed units.

• Warmer rooms and lower heat loss
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
• Toughened and laminated safety glass options
