Secondary Glazing

Secondary glazing is an ideal solution where replacing original windows is not practical or permitted, helping to preserve the character of historic properties while improving comfort and performance.

By creating an additional insulating barrier, secondary glazing helps reduce heat loss, improve thermal performance, and lower energy bills throughout the year.

Secondary glazing can significantly reduce external noise, creating a quieter and more comfortable living environment, particularly for homes near busy roads or urban areas.

Every secondary glazing unit is manufactured to your chosen measurements, ensuring a perfect fit and minimal visual impact on your existing windows.

Secondary glazing is an additional glazed panel installed on the inside of an existing window. It improves insulation, reduces noise, and enhances comfort while preserving the original external appearance of the property.

Secondary glazing creates an insulating air gap between the original window and the internal glazed panel. This helps reduce heat transfer, minimise draughts, and dampen external noise entering your home.

Yes. Secondary glazing is often a cost-effective alternative to replacing windows, particularly for period properties and listed buildings where preserving original features is important.

Yes. Secondary glazing can significantly reduce the amount of external noise entering your property, making it particularly beneficial for homes located near roads, railways, or busy urban areas.

While it cannot eliminate condensation entirely, secondary glazing can help reduce condensation by improving the internal surface temperature of your existing windows and reducing cold spots.

Absolutely. Secondary glazing helps minimise heat loss and improve thermal insulation, making your home more energy efficient and comfortable throughout the year.

Yes. Secondary glazing is widely used in listed buildings and conservation areas because it improves performance while preserving the original appearance of historic windows, subject to any relevant permissions where required.

In most cases, internal secondary glazing does not require planning permission. However, requirements can vary for listed buildings and conservation areas, so it’s always advisable to seek professional guidance.

Double glazing replaces the existing window with a sealed glazed unit, whereas secondary glazing adds an independent glazed panel to the inside of the original window. Secondary glazing is often the preferred solution for heritage properties where retaining original windows is important.
