Secondary Glazing: what is it?
Secondary Glazing is a process that involves adding an additional pane of glass to an existing window frame. This creates a sealed airspace between the two panes of glass.
This airspace acts as an insulating layer, reducing heat loss and helping to keep the interior of the building warm. The sealed airspace acts as a buffer against sound waves, helping to reduce noise levels from outside.
Secondary glazing is a great alternative for window enhancement rather then removing the window. This makes it easy to install and more affordable. It works with all different kinds of buildings such as residential homes, commercial and historic buildings.
