Secondary glazing in North Acton

The housing in North Acton is largely 1930s semis, short terraces and new high-rise apartments. 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.

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.

Planning here can be less obvious than elsewhere. Parts of North Acton fall under the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation rather than Ealing Council, so we check which body covers your address. The A40 Western Avenue and the Central line are both close by, and acoustic glazing helps on the noisier side of a house. We are around 11.1 miles from our Edmonton factory.

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.
