Secondary Glazing · Salford

Working in Salford

Salford and MediaCityUK combine commercial glazing demand (offices, hotels, BBC and ITV facilities) with high-noise residential properties near the A57 and M602. We supply curtain walling for commercial schemes and acoustic glazing for nearby residential conversions.

For acoustic glazing in Salford, aircraft noise from Manchester Airport (MAN) shapes the brief — overhead noise here reaches 80+ dB on busy approach paths. Our acoustic specifications start at Rw 38 dB reduction for standard double-glazed acoustic units and scale to Rw 52 dB for triple-glazed asymmetric builds with laminated PVB interlayers. Most commonly we're working in A57 postcodes. We can normally survey within a week and return a proposal showing measured baseline noise alongside the projected indoor level after install.

Our process

How we deliver in Salford

01

Heritage-sensitive survey

We measure existing reveal depths and assess the primary window's condition. Our surveys are accepted by listed-building officers and planning departments.

02

Bespoke manufacture

Each unit is made to fit your exact reveal — slim aluminium frames in white, brown, black or RAL-matched colours. Glass options include acoustic laminated and Low-E thermal.

03

Discreet installation

Installed entirely from inside the property with no disruption to the original window. Most installations are completed in a single day.
