Secondary Glazing for Noise Insulation - A Modern Case Study

Heliport House - London SW11

Heliport House is the commercial building on Battersea's Westland Heliport.

The Heliport has been operating since 1959 for both business and leisure customers and now also provides services to Police Air Support units and the Air Ambulance.

Spread over four floors the building is in one of the noisiest spots in London when the helicopters are landing and taking off between the hours of 7.00am and 11.00pm daily.

Noise had been an ongoing problem for the occupants of Heliport House for many years despite the sealed unit double glazing fitted throughout the building.

We first fitted our range of specialist Noise Reduction Secondary Glazing to part of the building during September 2004 - following the success of this initial project we were quickly contracted to carry out two further phases during November and December of the same year.

All units were glazed with 6.4mm Stadip ® Silence laminated glass imported from the St. Gobain Glass Company in France.

Stadip ® Silence glass has a clear PVB interlayer specially formulated and patented to cut down noise transmission.
