Benefits of Triple Glazing
Why Upgrade Your West London Home?
- Significant Energy Savings: Triple glazing delivers superior thermal efficiency compared to standard double glazing, achieving ultra-low U-values. This is essential for the many Victorian and Edwardian properties in Twickenham and Richmond, locking in heat to lower bills and keeping drafty period homes warm.
- Superior Noise Reduction: Enjoy a peaceful sanctuary by reducing external noise by up to 40dB with acoustic glass. This is the ideal solution for West London residents living under the Heathrow flight paths or near busy routes like the A316 and South Circular, significantly dampening overhead and traffic noise.
- Enhanced Security: With a third pane of toughened glass and robust internal beading, our units act as a formidable deterrent against intruders. This extra layer of defence provides peace of mind that your home and family are well-protected in these affluent boroughs.
- Condensation Control: Advanced insulation minimizes the “cold spot” effect on the internal pane, virtually eliminating condensation. This helps protect the interior decor of your home and reduces the risk of damp or mould developing on window sills—common in older river-side properties.
- Weather Resistance: Our triple-glazed units are engineered to withstand the elements, ensuring your home stays draught-free and watertight, whether you face the winds coming off the Thames or heavy urban showers.
- Increased Property Value: Upgrading your home’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating is a smart investment. In the competitive West London property market, high-performance windows make your property significantly more attractive to future buyers.
Keep your West London home Cooler and Warmer
u-Values - Thermal Performance
Not all triple glazing is the same. For maximum efficiency, the gap between the panes is just as important as the glass itself.
The Gold Standard: 44mm Units
Our premium option uses a massive 44mm sealed unit. This allows for two optimum 16mm cavities filled with Argon gas. This specification fits perfectly into our Sheerline Prestige, Residence 9, and Residence 7 systems, delivering centre-pane U-values as low as 0.5 W/m²K.
The Slimline Option: 28mm Units
Some window profiles cannot accept a 44mm unit. For these, we offer a 28mm triple glazed unit using Krypton gas. Krypton performs better in smaller gaps than Argon, allowing us to achieve excellent thermal performance (U-value 0.60) even in a slimmer profile. Beware this comes with a hefty price tag.

Contact UsImproved Security
Improved security over double glazed windows, due to the extra pane of toughened glass. Internally glazed windows offer added security and prevents the removal of the glass from the outside.
Sound Insulation
There is no major gain having triple glazing with three equal thicknesses of glass. The best solution would be with a thicker centre pane, please enquire for further information.
Heat Insulation
44mm sealed units filled with two 16mm cavities of argon gas. Argon gas is heavier than air, so acts as an insulator
Prevent Cold-Bridging
Warm edge spacer bars made from a composite material to stop the cold-bridge across the unit.
Low-emissivity Glass
Two coatings of low-emissivity glass (Low E). This is a microscopically thin coating that stops the heat from your house going outside.
Plenty of Options
Available in the Sheerline Prestige, Residence 9 and Residence 7 systems as a 44mm unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can triple glazing block out aircraft noise from the Heathrow flight path?
This is the most common question we get from homeowners in Twickenham, Richmond, and Kew. While no glass is 100% soundproof, our triple glazing can be fitted with specialist acoustic laminated glass. This combination drastically disrupts sound waves, reducing external noise by up to 40dB. It makes a significant difference to the comfort of your home, helping you sleep better and relax despite the overhead air traffic.
Is triple glazing suitable for Victorian and Edwardian properties?
Yes. West London is famous for its beautiful period architecture. We understand that maintaining the original look of your home is crucial. We offer “heritage” triple glazing options, including sliding sash windows and timber-effect finishes that replicate the sightlines of original wood frames. This allows you to upgrade the thermal performance of your home without losing the character that makes your property special.
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Richmond or Twickenham?
It depends on your specific location. While most window replacements are “Permitted Development,” many parts of Richmond, Twickenham, and Teddington fall within Conservation Areas or are subject to “Article 4” directions which remove permitted rights. If you live in a Conservation Area, you will likely need to ensure the new windows match the materials and style of the originals. We recommend checking with your local borough council, and our team is happy to offer guidance.
How does triple glazing help with condensation in older London homes?
Condensation is a major issue in older solid-wall properties common in West London. Triple glazing is the most effective solution because the internal pane is insulated by two gas-filled cavities, keeping it close to room temperature. This eliminates the “cold spot” on the glass, preventing moisture from the air from settling as water. This protects your timber sills and internal decor from damp and mould.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We specifically focus on West London and the South West corridor to ensure we can maintain our high standards of service and installation. We regularly work in Twickenham, Richmond, Teddington, Hampton, and surrounding areas. This allows us to offer the personal touch of a local business with the expertise of a large installer, without spreading ourselves too thin across the whole capital.
