Acoustic glazing in St John’s Wood

The housing in St John’s Wood is largely stucco villas, mansion blocks and converted period flats. 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. On detached homes, target the elevations facing the noise source, such as a road or railway, rather than paying for acoustic glass in every window.

Much of the area falls within the St John's Wood conservation area, so Westminster City Council will expect any new windows to match the originals closely. In mansion blocks the managing agent or freeholder usually has to agree first; we can supply drawings and specifications to help with that.

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.

• Laminated glass adds safety and security
• Fits new windows or existing frames
• Works alongside double or secondary glazing
