Why Choose Secondary Glazing?
When you need to improve your home’s performance without altering its character, secondary glazing provides an ideal solution.
Secondary glazing works by installing an additional pane of glass on the interior of your windows. Although not as efficient as a new double glazed unit, secondary glazing reduces heat loss, keeping home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Perfect for period properties and listed buildings, it offers significant thermal and acoustic benefits while preserving original windows.
Quality Installation, Perfect Results
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our secondary glazing options below. If you have any other questions, our team will be more than happy to help.
Contact UsWhat is secondary glazing?
Secondary glazing involves installing a discreet additional pane of glass on the inside of your existing windows. This creates an insulating barrier that improves thermal efficiency and reduces noise while preserving your original windows.
Does secondary glazing work as well as replacement windows?
We'd always recommend modern triple glazed windows for optimal thermal performance, however, there are some cases where this isn't possible due to conservation areas and listed building restrictions. Secondary glazing is ideal if you want to improve your home's energy efficiency while preserving original windows. It's perfect for listed buildings, conservation areas, and period properties where replacing the windows altogether isn't feasible.
Will secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes - as well as improving energy efficiency, secondary glazing is also effective at reducing external noise.
Is planning permission required?
Secondary glazing usually doesn't require planning permission, making it ideal for listed buildings and conservation areas. However, we recommend checking with your local authority.
Where do you install secondary glazing?
We install throughout Essex and Suffolk, including Colchester, Chelmsford, Ipswich, Braintree, Sudbury, and surrounding areas.
