Double glazing in Hornsey

The housing in Hornsey is largely bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces, flat conversions and some newer blocks. 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. Landlords can reduce tenant complaints about condensation and cold rooms by replacing failed units promptly, and FENSA certificates for full window replacements help when properties change hands.

The East Coast Main Line runs past Hornsey station and the big train depot, so homes nearby can be noisy. Acoustic glazing, which uses two different thicknesses of glass, reduces that. Hornsey is about 3.5 miles from our Edmonton factory, and we always check freeholder consent for flats before fitting.

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
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
