Secondary glazing in Kilburn

The housing in Kilburn is largely Victorian terraces, converted flats, council estates and newer apartment blocks. 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. 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 those homes we suggest acoustic double glazing or secondary glazing behind existing windows. Because Kilburn straddles two boroughs, the council you deal with depends on which side of the high road you live; we check the right one for conservation rules. In converted flats we also confirm freeholder consent and plan parking, since loading on side streets can be tight. Our factory is about 7.8 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.

• Keeps original windows in place
• Reduces draughts and outside noise
• Suitable where replacement is restricted
