Secondary glazing that works with strata rules: an engineer’s apartment

Lou, an engineer, had traffic and party noise coming into his apartment.

The problem

Strata rules meant the windows couldn’t be changed, and Lou wanted the result to look as if nothing had been altered at all.

What we did

  • Installed our retrofit secondary glazing system behind the existing windows.
  • Added a powder-coated trim between the existing and new windows, so the result looks seamless.

The result

Lou was so pleased with the look and the result that he called us back to install a custom acoustic drop-down ceiling in his living, dining and TV rooms to cut the echo. He and his wife then invited us to quote the remaining windows.

Tip from Nigel: strata rules usually cover the outside of your windows. Secondary glazing goes on the inside, so it’s often the way around them.
