An efficient and cost-effective alternative to double glazing
If you’re looking to insulate your home better, block out external noise and add an extra level of security to your windows, secondary glazing is the ideal solution. As the name suggests, secondary glazing works by adding an extra window frame around your existing windows, meaning there is no need to replace your existing glazing. Sitting in an aluminium or wooden frame, secondary glazing can be slid open easily to allow fresh air to be let in and for easy cleaning access. Many people find secondary glazing to be better at heat and noise insulation than typical uPVC double glazing. Contact us today to see If secondary glazing would work well in your home.
