Double glazing in Parsons Green

The housing in Parsons Green is largely late-Victorian terraced houses and some purpose-built mansion flats. Many Victorian terraces still have single-glazed sashes, and moving to double glazing is often the biggest single comfort upgrade, whether through new windows or secondary glazing.

If your flat's frames are in good order, replacing only failed or misted double glazed units may avoid the need for freeholder approval for new windows. Original 1930s leaded lights can be replicated within double glazed units, so you keep the decorative pattern while gaining modern insulation and quieter rooms.

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.

Double glazing uses two panes of glass with a sealed, insulating gap between them, cutting heat loss, draughts and condensation compared with single glazing. We fit it in new windows and doors or as replacement sealed units, suiting almost every home, from older properties still single glazed to houses with failed units.

• Warmer rooms and lower heat loss
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
• Toughened and laminated safety glass options
