Triple glazing in West Kensington

Around West Kensington you will mostly find Victorian terraces, Edwardian mansion flats and council estates. On Victorian terraces, triple glazing is best paired with wall and loft insulation improvements, since windows alone will not solve heat loss through solid brick walls.

In flats near main roads or railways, triple glazing can help with comfort and noise, though acoustic laminated double glazing is sometimes more effective for sound alone. 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.

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.

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
• Suits low-energy and retrofit projects
