Acoustic glazing in W2

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. On detached homes, target the elevations facing the noise source, such as a road or railway, rather than paying for acoustic glass in every window.

Edgware Road, Bayswater Road, the Westway and Paddington station bring constant activity. Many buildings are listed or in conservation areas, so slim sash-style designs are usually the way forward. Where a building is split into flats, we liaise with the freeholder or managing agent before anything is ordered. We are about 8.6 miles from W2.

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
• Fits new windows or existing frames
