Secondary Glazing

Secondary glazing involves adding an extra slim-line window in addition to your existing windows. It is an effective and cost efficient method of insulating and sound proofing your windows. If you’re worried about ever increasing energy costs, secondary glazing could save you around 10% on your heating bills. The Energy Saving Trust states that it is an ‘ideal solution if you are unable to fit double glazing’.

Secondary glazing is perfect for use in Listed Buildings and conservation areas. Made from strong lightweight aluminium, it can be made to be very slim and discreet. Considered a reversible change, secondary glazing is recommended by English Heritage and the
Listed Property Owners Club.

The Horizontal Slider

The Horizontal Slider is undoubtedly the most frequently used type of secondary glazing. Its uses are therefore widespread, being applied to high rise or low-level commercial properties, historic buildings as well as all kinds of domestic dwellings. Our systems provide sensitive solutions to the problems created by noise and sound pollution.

Generally available in two, three or four panelled versions, the sashes are fitted with brass rollers, ensuring the smoothest sliding action.
Twin brush seals provide excellent high sealing efficiency. This has been scientifically proven to eliminate draughts, increase thermal insulation and give greater improvements to the security of the primary windows. The security issue is further enhanced with the use of the
latest locks and handles.

The Lift Out

Economically, the Lift Out is the most cost effective type of secondary glazing available. Its most common application is where limited access to the primary window is required. For example, a window which has been installed with the sole object of providing light to a room.

As well as economical, the Lift Out is also the most basic form of secondary glazing. As its name implies, it simply lifts out of a secured channel. For practical purposes, it is advised that the sash size be considered since the weight of glass must be of manageable proportions.
Each sash is manufactured with double brush pile seal, further increasing the thermal and sound insulation properties.
