When to Choose Secondary Glazing

Our brand new, industry-leading secondary glazing system has been created to transform properties. Offering exceptional thermal and acoustic benefits, as well as sleek, unobtrusive sightlines, there are a multitude of reasons why homeowners are opting to choose secondary glazing.

With that said, it’s important to understand when secondary glazing is the right fit for your property, rather than traditional window replacement. If any of the following situations sound familiar, then it just might be time to choose secondary glazing…

My property is listed

If you’re in this situation then you find yourself unable to alter or replace your existing windows. Your windows likely carry plenty of character and charm, but may be letting excessive cold and external noise leak into your property at will.

Fortunately, our secondary glazing system blends seamlessly with the style and décor of any primary window, ensuring true 21^st century performance, whilst retaining your windows unique aesthetics.

Improving the thermal and acoustic performance of your listed property should never negatively impact the character of your existing windows, which is why our secondary glazing range comes in countless variations and over 200 exquisite RAL colours. Featuring even slimmer sightlines, our new product range is the most unobtrusive secondary glazing system on the market today.

Crucially, secondary glazing is fully compatible with listed properties, as well as homes within a conversation area, making it an ideal choice.

My property is cold

As we enter winter and temperatures begin to plummet, homeowners are going to quickly realise that their property isn’t as warm as it once was. Couple that with rising energy bills and it’s potentially a recipe for disaster.

Single and even double-glazed windows are sometimes not enough to hold back the tide of the UK weather, often allowing warm air from radiators to, quite literally, fly straight out of the window.

Secondary glazing, on the other hand, works in conjunction with the primary window to lock in the warm air and keep the cold firmly outside. The small gap between the existing window and the secondary unit effectively acts as an insulator, creating a separate layer of air between the two that can reduce heat loss by up to a staggering 65%.

I live in a noisy area

If you’re plagued by external noise – be that either a busy road, railway line or perhaps even an airport – secondary glazing is the most effective way to keep noise levels to a minimum. Secondary glazing significantly outperforms all other glass solutions, including the most high-spec double glazing.

Sound can be a tricky thing to completely irradicate, penetrating even the smallest of holes, which is why all of our secondary glazing products are manufactured using state-of-the-art machinery to lock-in tightly sealed frames that reduce noise levels by up to a whopping 80%.

I want to make my home safer

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. The seamless, unobtrusive aesthetics of secondary glazing then ensures that you can enjoy added levels of security, without having to compromise on the looks and charm of your existing windows.
