Acoustic glazing in West Kensington

Around West Kensington you will mostly find Victorian terraces, Edwardian mansion flats and council estates. Victorian terraces often sit close to the pavement, so fitting acoustic glazing to front bedrooms first usually gives the most noticeable reduction in street noise.

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. For offices, clinics and consulting rooms, acoustic glazing improves concentration and privacy, helping keep both street noise out and conversations inside.

The A4 West Cromwell Road and Talgarth Road carry heavy traffic through the south of the area, and homes near them benefit from acoustic glazing. Large redevelopment on the former Earls Court site has also brought building work nearby. Some streets fall within conservation areas, so we check those, and we talk to freeholders early when flats are involved.

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.

• Noticeably quieter rooms near busy roads
• Laminated glass adds safety and security
