Effective Secondary Glazing Solutions for Enhanced Comfort and Energy Efficiency

Secondary glazing is an excellent choice for homeowners who want to improve the energy efficiency of their homes without a full window replacement. To install secondary glazing, an additional single glazed window is added to the inside of the existing window. This is a far more cost-effective way to improve thermal performance and can be completed with minimal disruption to your home life.

Benefits of installing secondary glazing

Installing secondary glazing provides a wide range of benefits to your home interior. With a secondary glazing installation from Droylsden Glass, you can expect:

• An additional layer of home security to prevent any forced entry attempts
• Enhanced insulating capacity for a warmer cosier home interior
• Improved thermal performance to help lower heating usage and reduce your carbon footprint
• Outstanding acoustic insulation for a quieter and calmer living environment
• Compatibility with most window styles

As you can see, secondary glazing is an excellent alternative to a double or triple glazing upgrade. It can also be used as a temporary measure to improve energy efficiency in the short term.

Secondary glazing for listed buildings and conservation area properties

If you live in a period property, especially one that is listed or located in a conservation area, you will probably know about the restrictions surrounding any home alterations. In many older properties, it might not be possible to gain permission for a full glazing replacement project as the new windows may be deemed inappropriate or not in keeping with the historical character of the area.

Fortunately, secondary glazing is a viable alternative that is always accepted for installations in all types of period properties. This is because secondary glazing is viewed as an easy access removable alteration. It can be installed onto the inside of your existing windows without having an impact on the fabric of the building or changing the exterior aesthetic. Therefore, secondary glazing is often the go-to choice for homeowners living in listed buildings across the UK.

If you’d like to boost your home’s energy efficiency and enhance your standard of living, secondary glazing is an excellent choice.
