Draught-Proof Your Windows: Thermal Secondary Glazing London
Dramatically improve your home's energy efficiency with secondary glazing. Reduce heat loss, eliminate draughts, and lower your heating bills while preserving your original windows.
The Hidden Cost of Inefficient Windows
Windows can account for up to 40% of a home's total heat loss through single-glazed windows. Single-glazed and older double-glazed windows are particularly inefficient, allowing precious warmth to escape and cold draughts to enter. This translates directly to higher energy bills and reduced comfort—our secondary glazing U-value performance guide explains exactly how secondary glazing reaches 1.8 W/m²K, and the secondary glazing ROI and payback calculator shows your 3–5 year payback.
Secondary glazing creates an insulating air gap between your existing window and the new internal panel. This trapped air acts as a thermal barrier, dramatically reducing heat transfer. The result is a warmer home that requires less heating to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Unlike replacement windows, secondary glazing works with your existing frames, making it ideal for period properties, listed buildings, and conservation areas. You get the thermal benefits of modern glazing while preserving your property's original character.
Our thermal insulation solutions can reduce heat loss by up to 65% and eliminate 100% of draughts. Combined with our noise reduction benefits, secondary glazing offers a comprehensive upgrade to your living environment.
