Secondary glazing in Highbury

Homes in Highbury are mostly Victorian villas, terraces, mansion blocks and converted flats. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.

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. 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.

Flats need the freeholder's consent, and parking on Highbury's controlled streets takes some planning, so we arrange a bay suspension or permit where needed. Our Edmonton workshop is about 4.6 miles away.

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.

• Reduces draughts and outside noise
• Suitable where replacement is restricted
• Panels open or lift out for cleaning
