    Why Secondary Glazing for Kensington & Chelsea Properties?

    Meets Strict Planning Requirements

    Kensington & Chelsea has some of the strictest planning regulations in London. Secondary glazing is installed internally without altering external appearance, typically not requiring planning permission.

    Preserves Period Features

    Many properties feature original sash windows and decorative glazing. Secondary glazing preserves these while dramatically improving performance.

    Reduces Traffic Noise

    Major roads like Brompton Road, Fulham Road, and Kings Road generate significant traffic noise. Secondary glazing blocks up to 80% of external noise pollution.

    Dramatically Lowers Energy Bills

    Period properties often have high heating costs due to single glazing. Secondary glazing reduces heat loss by up to 75%, significantly lowering energy bills.
