Secondary Glazing

Keeping the appearance in conservation areas , Heritage listings and Listed buildings.
The use of secondary glazing is common place around our villages and towns that are fortunate enough as to fall into a conservation area. They may have protected status through English Heritage or perhaps a listed building. The properties need to keep to the original appearance but need warmth , thermal installation or sound proofing that modern UPVC would normally provide but due to planning guidelines are not achievable.Quite simply, homeowners choose secondary glazed windows because they’re quiet,
warm and secure. These three features are the bedrock of our unique secondary glazing
system and are the reason why so many homeowners are adopting secondary glazing.
From a sound insulation perspective,
secondary glazing offers the most effective
levels of noise reduction on today’s market,
significantly outperforming all other glass
solutions. Our bespoke secondary glazing
is manufactured using state-of-the-art
machinery to lock-in a tightly sealed frame
which reduces noise levels by up to a
whopping 80%.
If security is your priority, secondary glazing
offers a unique, additional deterrent to
any would-be intruders. Unlike traditional
windows, secondary glazing is incredibly
difficult to open from the outside and creates
a further layer of defence against forced entry.
Our frames are made from only the most
durable, high quality aluminium and
are securely fixed to resist forcing.
If draughty windows are of bigger concern for
your property, secondary glazing adds an extra
layer of defence to guard your home against
heat loss. The small gap between your existing
window and the secondary unit effectively acts
as an insulator, creating a separate layer of air
between the two which can reduce heat loss by
up to 65%.
The sleek, modern design of our secondary
glazing systems ensures that you’re able to
enjoy all the acoustic, thermal and security
benefits, without having to compromise
on style
