Secondary glazing in Maida Vale

Homes in Maida Vale are mostly Edwardian mansion blocks, stucco villas and converted period 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. 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.

The Maida Vale conservation area covers much of the neighbourhood, and Westminster City Council expects windows to match originals closely, so we check before quoting. In mansion blocks the managing agent normally has a say on window style and colour, and fitting days must be planned around shared entrances and parking. We are about 8.4 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
• Suitable where replacement is restricted
• Panels open or lift out for cleaning
