Double glazing in Kensal Rise

Homes in Kensal Rise are mostly Edwardian bay-fronted terraces and converted flats. 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. Original 1930s leaded lights can be replicated within double glazed units, so you keep the decorative pattern while gaining modern insulation and quieter rooms.

Some streets fall within conservation areas, so we check with Brent Council before quoting on front windows. The Overground line runs close to some homes, and acoustic glass can help. Our factory is about 9.3 miles away. For conversions, we also confirm freeholder consent.

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.

• Less condensation on the glass
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
• Toughened and laminated safety glass options
