Secondary glazing in Palmers Green

The housing in Palmers Green is largely Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis and mansion flats around Green Lanes. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.

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. 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.

Green Lanes and the North Circular carry heavy traffic past many homes, so we often suggest acoustic laminated glass for rooms facing them. The streets around Broomfield Park are some of the most intact Edwardian roads in Enfield, and keeping the original bay shapes and door surrounds is what makes a replacement look right.

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
