Harri Patel, 63, lives just 300 yards from Terminal 4, but in a recent interview with the Daily Mail, he reported that noise pollution isn’ t a problem at all.
Heathrow is Europe’ s busiest airport, boasting four terminals, 78 million passengers every year, and over a thousand take-offs and landings every day.
And the fact that Harri can live so close and not be bothered by the noise is a true testament to the outstanding acoustic performance of secondary glazing. Harri’ s secondary glazing was installed as part of
Heathrow’ s ongoing efforts to reduce noise disturbance for those living nearby.
Since November 2012, Incarnation has participated in the Heathrow Day and Night Noise Insulation Schemes, which offer local homeowners 50 % off the cost of replacement windows, or free secondary glazing.
Secondary glazing is by far the more popular option thanks to its unrivalled acoustic benefits. The scheme is set to continue as Heathrow has released plans to expand with a third runway.
