Secondary glazing in Kensal Rise

Homes in Kensal Rise are mostly Edwardian bay-fronted terraces 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.

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. In 1930s bays, secondary glazing can follow each facet of the bay or span across it, so we measure carefully around radiators, sills and curtain tracks.

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.

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.

• Keeps original windows in place
• Reduces draughts and outside noise
• Panels open or lift out for cleaning
