Put simply, it is the addition of a second window fitted in front of the existing window on the inside of a property. Although your immediate assumption to increase energy efficiency and reduce noise may be to install double or triple glazing – Often, secondary glazing can be the preferable choice.
At Bartley Glass and Windows we can offer a range of options for your home or commercial property. But before we talk about those options, let’s look at why you would opt for secondary glazing in the first instance.
Why Choose Secondary Glazing?
1. Secondary Glazing Can Reduce Noice By Up To 80%
When it comes to acoustic insulation, the larger the cavity between the two panes of glass, the better. Therefore, where double glazing has panes rather close together as one unit, secondary glazing offers more effective noise reduction as the second pane sits further way.
2. Secondary Glazing Can Increase The Warmth Of Your Home
A problem we see quite often is people with single glazed windows coming to us describing draughts or cold spots around the room. Our secondary glazing systems can eliminate this, as the made to measure products designed with tight tolerances ensure a cold air is kept out and warm air is kept in.
3. Retains Original Style
Particularly with older or listed buildings, the aesthetics of the windows are a huge part of the charm. Changing them to modern double glazed units may be undesirable or perhaps impossible.
Secondary glazing is the perfect solution, allowing you to retain all of the original charm whilst adding the heat retention and noise reduction elements required for modern day living.
