Secondary glazing for listed building windows

Secondary glazing involves adding a single glazed window to the inside of an existing window. Cheaper than purchasing replacement windows, this extra pane of glass also provides another layer of security for your home. However, that’s not the only benefit it has; secondary glazing also actively traps more heat in the home, leading to cosier interiors and the potential to decrease your energy bills. However, noise reduction is where secondary glazing really excels; fitting it to your home will prevent a huge amount of external noise from coming inside, letting you enjoy your home surroundings much more peacefully.

As secondary glazing sits on the inside of the property’s window frames and is classed as an easy access removable alteration, it’s often approved for use in conservation areas and others where planning restrictions are in place too, without impacting on building regulations. Available for fitting to a wide range of different styles and types of premises, it’s also an ideal solution for use on more contemporary North West homes.

 

At Droylsden Glass, we only sell products of the highest standard, so we have chosen to use Granada as our secondary glazing supplier. By installing secondary glazing, you can improve your home’s thermal insulation, reducing heat loss by up to 65% and significantly reducing noise levels.

Granada products have all been subject to meticulous testing procedures in line with BS EN ISO 10077-2. The table below gives an overview of the test results and shows how secondary glazing can drastically improve performance and U-values, saving you money on your heating bills.

U-values measure how effective your windows are as insulators – the lower the score, the better their thermal performance will be.

Product type U-Value Primary Window U-Value Primary + Secondary Window U-Value Improvement
Slimline Hinged Unit 4.7 W/(m2K) 1.4 W/(m2K) 70%
Horizontal Sliding Unit 4.7 W/(m2K) 1.5 W/(m2K) 68%
