Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about secondary glazing installation and benefits.
How much noise reduction can I expect from secondary glazing?
Our secondary glazing systems can provide up to 54dB noise reduction in suitable configurations. Actual performance depends on the existing window, glass, air gap, seals, room construction and noise frequency.
Can secondary glazing be installed in listed buildings?
Yes, secondary glazing is ideal for listed and heritage buildings as it doesn't alter the original windows. It's conservation-approved and typically doesn't require planning permission.
How much does secondary glazing cost?
Secondary glazing starts from £450 per window, subject to survey. The final price depends on the opening size, glass specification, frame type, access and heritage detailing.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed within 1-2 days. We work efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Will secondary glazing affect the appearance of my windows?
Our secondary glazing is designed to be virtually invisible from the outside and minimally intrusive from the inside. We use slim aluminium frames that complement existing window styles.
Does secondary glazing help with thermal insulation?
Yes. Secondary glazing creates an insulating air gap that can reduce heat loss, draughts and condensation risk. Heating-bill savings vary with the property, existing windows and household energy use.
