    Secondary Glazing in Crystal Palace — Your Questions Answered

For Crystal Palace homes exposed to heavier traffic or urban noise, our 10.8mm acoustic laminate specification delivers up to 80% perceived noise reduction (around 45–50dB), thanks to the wide 100–150mm air cavity between the original window and the new internal pane.

Every quote is prepared after a free on-site survey, so pricing reflects your exact window sizes and specification.
