Acoustic glazing in N8

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. Where original windows must stay in conservation areas or listed buildings, acoustic laminated secondary glazing with a wide air gap can be very effective.

With no Tube station, traffic is the main noise source rather than trains, though the East Coast Main Line passes Hornsey. Most owners here want replacement windows that look period-correct. We travel around 3.6 miles from our Edmonton factory to reach N8.

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
• Works alongside double or secondary glazing
