Triple glazing in Shoreditch

Around Shoreditch you will mostly find warehouse conversions, Georgian terraces and modern apartment blocks. Triple glazed units are thicker and heavier, so they rarely suit slim traditional profiles in conservation areas, where secondary glazing may be a more acceptable alternative.

Newer, well-insulated homes gain most from triple glazing, because the windows become the weakest point once walls and roofs already meet modern standards. For commercial buildings, weigh triple glazing against heating costs, occupancy and frame suitability, as its extra weight and cost suit some projects better than others.

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.

Triple glazing adds a third pane of glass and a second sealed gap, improving insulation and comfort beyond standard double glazing. It suits homeowners aiming for very high energy efficiency, people living near busy roads, and homes undergoing deep retrofits where walls, roofs and windows are all being upgraded together.

• Higher insulation than double glazing
• Warmer glass surface near windows
• Extra layer helps reduce outside noise
