Triple glazing in E5

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. Triple glazed units are thicker and heavier, so they rarely suit slim traditional profiles in conservation areas, where secondary glazing may be a more acceptable alternative.

Lea Bridge Road and Upper Clapton Road carry buses and lorries, so double glazing with acoustic laminated glass can make a clear difference to sleep. Where flats share a front entrance, a solid composite door is a common upgrade. We are only about three miles up the Lea Valley in Edmonton.

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
