Acoustic glazing in Paddington

Homes in Paddington are mostly stucco terraces, converted period flats, council blocks and modern apartments. Victorian terraces often sit close to the pavement, so fitting acoustic glazing to front bedrooms first usually gives the most noticeable reduction in street noise.

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. Even modern double glazing can let in low-frequency traffic rumble, so upgrading to units with mixed-thickness laminated glass helps without replacing sound frames.

Noise is a constant factor: the Westway, Praed Street, Edgware Road and the railway approach all carry traffic late into the night, so acoustic glazing is worth considering. Many streets are in Westminster conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent, so we check the rules first. Parking needs planning too. We are about 8.6 miles away.

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.

• Laminated glass adds safety and security
• Fits new windows or existing frames
