NW3, NW6 Edwardian Specification
Hampstead's Edwardian housing stock — large red-brick villas, mansion blocks around Belsize Park, and the Garden Suburb to the north — typically features oversize bay windows (3-light and 5-light), stained-glass top lights, and original 4mm cylinder-drawn glass in timber sashes. Façade Leq,16h is 55–62 dBA on most residential streets, rising to 66–70 dBA on Finchley Road (A41) and Haverstock Hill. Primary briefs are thermal (large rooms, high ceilings, single-glazed primaries lose heat at 5.0–5.8 W/m²K) and acoustic for the A41 frontages.
- Standard Hampstead villa spec: 6.8mm acoustic + 150mm cavity with Low-E coating, Rw 46 dB combined, Uw 1.6 W/m²K
- A41/Haverstock Hill frontages: 8.8mm acoustic + 150mm cavity, Rw 48 dB combined, indoor LAeq <35 dBA
- Bay window solutions: faceted side-hinged units following the bay geometry; curved bays in segmented configuration with site-measured templates
- Thermal performance: typical Hampstead villa with 18m² of single-glazed primary glazing saves 1,800–2,400 kWh/year of heat, equivalent to £130–£175 at 2025 gas rates
- Conservation Area: Hampstead, Hampstead Garden Suburb, and Belsize have Article 4 designations; secondary glazing is the consented thermal upgrade route
