Secondary Glazing

Modern Efficiency, Heritage Aesthetics

What is secondary glazing?

Secondary glazing is the ideal solution for properties that value heritage aesthetics, home insulation and security – without the need for unnecessary planning permission.

Perfected for listed properties, we can install secondary glazing where window replacement isn’t an option.

When fitting secondary glazing windows, we’ll design and install an internal window pane to your existing windows. This creates an extra layer of insulation and soundproofing without altering the original frames

Save on energy bills and modernise your home today.

Absolutely over the moon with my new windows and doors installed by Rich and Paul. The quality of the workmanship is second to none. They were two lovely guys who were a pleasure to deal with. I can't praise them enough. Without question, I would recommend this company to anyone looking for new windows.
