Acoustic glazing in Hackney Wick

The housing in Hackney Wick is largely converted warehouses, canalside apartments and new-build flats. Even modern double glazing can let in low-frequency traffic rumble, so upgrading to units with mixed-thickness laminated glass helps without replacing sound frames.

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.

Nearly every home here is a flat, so the first step is approval from the freeholder or managing agent, and we prepare the technical details they ask for. Tight canalside access is planned at the survey. The Wick is about 4.6 miles from our Edmonton factory.

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.

• Laminated glass adds safety and security
