Double glazing in Turkey Street

The housing in Turkey Street is largely interwar semis and terraces, with some post-war houses and flats. Original 1930s leaded lights can be replicated within double glazed units, so you keep the decorative pattern while gaining modern insulation and quieter rooms.

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. 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.

Many of these houses still have their first-generation double glazing, which is now past its best. Homes near the A10 or the Hertford Road can get traffic noise, and acoustic glass helps. Most replacements here do not need planning permission. Our Edmonton factory is about 4 miles south.

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
• Less condensation on the glass
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
