Double glazing in Shoreditch

Homes in Shoreditch are mostly warehouse conversions, Georgian terraces and modern apartment blocks. In conservation areas, slim double glazed units can sometimes be fitted into traditional-style frames, but check with the council first, as listed buildings usually need consent.

In homes built from the 1980s onwards, misted or blown double glazed units are common, and replacing just the glass often restores performance without new frames. Landlords can reduce tenant complaints about condensation and cold rooms by replacing failed units promptly, and FENSA certificates for full window replacements help when properties change hands.

Noise is a real issue here, from Old Street and Great Eastern Street traffic to late-night bars, so we often recommend acoustic glazing for bedrooms. Access is the other challenge: parking is very limited, and many jobs are in shared buildings, so we arrange delivery times, loading and building management approval well before we arrive.

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
