Double glazing in Upper Edmonton

The housing in Upper Edmonton is largely Victorian terraces, interwar houses and council estates around Fore Street. 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.

Original 1930s leaded lights can be replicated within double glazed units, so you keep the decorative pattern while gaining modern insulation and quieter rooms. 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.

Streets off Fore Street and Silver Street mix Victorian terraces with interwar council houses and newer flats, and the North Circular and the Overground line bring steady noise to the homes beside them. Acoustic or triple glazing makes a real difference on those roads, while front doors and porches are popular upgrades on the terraces.

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.

• Less condensation on the glass
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
• Toughened and laminated safety glass options
