Acoustic glazing in Oakwood

The housing in Oakwood is largely 1930s semis, detached houses and purpose-built maisonettes. 1930s homes on main arterial roads benefit most from acoustic units in the front bays, along with good seals, because gaps let sound in as easily as thin glass.

On detached homes, target the elevations facing the noise source, such as a road or railway, rather than paying for acoustic glass in every window. In flats above shops or near transport, combine acoustic glazing with well-sealed frames and acoustic trickle vents, since ventilation gaps can undo much of the glass's benefit.

Many owners here want to keep the 1930s character, so we can add Georgian bars or leaded designs to new casements and rebuild bays to their original shape. Our Edmonton factory is about 4.7 miles away, so fitting days and any follow-up visits are easy to schedule.

Acoustic glazing uses laminated glass with a sound-damping interlayer, often combined with panes of different thicknesses, to reduce noise coming through your windows. It suits homes and businesses near busy roads, railways, flight paths, schools and nightlife, where outside noise affects sleep, work or everyday comfort.
