Listed Building Secondary Glazing: Conservation-Approved Noise Reduction
Heritage-approved secondary glazing solutions for Grade I, II*, and II listed buildings. Preserve your property's character while achieving modern comfort and noise reduction.
Protecting Britain's Architectural Heritage
Owning a listed building brings unique responsibilities and challenges. Original windows are often draughty, thermally inefficient, and offer limited noise protection, yet replacing them would compromise your property's historic character and may not be permitted under listing regulations.
Secondary glazing provides the perfect solution. By installing a discreet internal window behind your original glazing, you can achieve outstanding noise reduction (up to 80%) and thermal performance without altering the external appearance or damaging historic features.
Our heritage specialists have worked with English Heritage, Historic England, and local conservation officers across London. We understand the sensitivities involved and design our systems to be sympathetic to period features, using slim aluminium frames that can be colour-matched to existing woodwork.
Every installation is fully reversible—the secondary glazing can be removed at any time without damage to original windows or reveals. This is crucial for maintaining your building's heritage value and meeting conservation requirements.
