Advanced Quality Products

An Array Of Benefits
Beyond the reduction in external noise and heat loss, secondary glazing also allows homes to retain their character and charm, whilst benefitting from 21st century thermal and acoustic performance. In monetary terms, replacing timber sash windows can often be an expensive affair. Installing secondary glazing on the other hand is a far cheaper and simpler process. The cost saving doesn’t stop there though, as our secondary glazing solution radically reduces heating costs by ensuring the cold weather remains outside.
Secondary Glazing vs Double Glazing
From a noise cancellation perspective, secondary glazing is the most effective way to reduce noise within our customers homes, even more so than the most high-spec double glazing solution. The small gap between the existing window and the secondary unit effectively acts as an acoustic insulator, blocking sound as it attends to enter the property. Our 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%.
Additional Security For Your Home
Secondary glazing also acts as a visual deterrent and additional barrier to entry. We use toughened glass and best-grade aluminium profile to manufacture windows that are virtually unbreakable. No need for unsightly measures that will affect the value of your property. Thanks to secondary glazing, our customers can enjoy a warmer, home secure home, without damaging their existing décor.
