Triple glazing in Hanwell

The housing in Hanwell is largely Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. On Victorian terraces, triple glazing is best paired with wall and loft insulation improvements, since windows alone will not solve heat loss through solid brick walls.

For 1930s semis, check that bay frames and hinges can support the extra weight of triple glazed units, especially on large opening sashes. Triple glazed units are thicker and heavier, so they rarely suit slim traditional profiles in conservation areas, where secondary glazing may be a more acceptable alternative.

The Great Western Main Line and Elizabeth line cross the viaduct, and Uxbridge Road is busy, so homes near either benefit from acoustic glazing. Some streets are in conservation areas, so we confirm what Ealing Council expects before quoting. At about 14.5 miles from our Edmonton factory, Hanwell is one of the further places we cover, but the whole job still stays with one team.

Triple glazing adds a third pane of glass and a second sealed gap, improving insulation and comfort beyond standard double glazing. It suits homeowners aiming for very high energy efficiency, people living near busy roads, and homes undergoing deep retrofits where walls, roofs and windows are all being upgraded together.

• Warmer glass surface near windows
• Extra layer helps reduce outside noise
• Suits low-energy and retrofit projects
