Acoustic glazing in Parsons Green

The housing in Parsons Green is largely late-Victorian terraced houses and some purpose-built mansion flats. 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. 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.

The green and the streets around it form a conservation area, and Hammersmith & Fulham expects front windows to stay in keeping, so sash-style replacements are the usual choice. The District line runs above ground through the area and New King's Road is busy, which makes acoustic glazing worth considering. Residents' parking is tight, so we arrange permits before fitting.

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.

• Noticeably quieter rooms near busy roads
• Laminated glass adds safety and security
• Works alongside double or secondary glazing
