Daytime naps protected — with laminated safety glass as standard.
Nurseries have a problem adult bedrooms do not: the sleep happens during the day, when London is at its loudest. Deliveries, refuse collection, school run traffic and street works all peak in exactly the window when a baby is meant to be napping.
A nursery specification therefore prioritises daytime broadband reduction and child safety. Laminated glass is standard in every unit we fit — if struck it holds together in the interlayer rather than breaking into fragments.
Between 08:00 and 18:00 a typical London residential street runs 8-15dB louder than overnight, and the events are more varied — reversing alarms, wheelie bins, car doors, drilling. Broadband reduction matters more than tuning for one dominant source.
All our acoustic glass is laminated, which is inherently safer than toughened or float glass in a room where a child plays. Fittings are specified without accessible pinch points, and catches on lift-out panels are positioned above child height.
Where the nursery window is a designated escape route, we fit sliding or hinged units with tool-free operation rather than lift-out panels.
Nurseries are usually kept warmer than the rest of the house, and single glazing makes that expensive and draughty. The same installation drops the window U-value from around 5.0 to 1.8 W/m²K and eliminates the cold downdraught next to the cot.

Camden, NW5
Problem: 58dB daytime average with 88dB refuse-collection peaks; naps consistently cut short.
Solution: Single 10.8mm acoustic laminate slider at 150mm cavity with child-height catch positioning.
Result: Daytime level reduced to 29dB; refuse collection no longer audible enough to wake the child.
