Double glazing in Highgate

Homes in Highgate are mostly Georgian houses, Victorian villas, terraces and mansion blocks. In conservation areas, slim double glazed units can sometimes be fitted into traditional-style frames, but check with the council first, as listed buildings usually need consent.

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. 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.

We make sash windows to the original proportions and glazing bar patterns. Where the old frames must stay, secondary glazing fitted inside improves comfort without altering anything from the street. Houses on Archway Road face a lot of traffic, and acoustic glass helps there. Highgate is about 5.2 miles from our factory.

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
• Less condensation on the glass
• Toughened and laminated safety glass options
