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 .
