- What is Secondary Double Glazing?
Answer
- Secondary glazing is another window fitted on the inside of you
existing window, our system is aluminium with a hardwood sub-frame, it
is some times called secondary windows.
Question - How
do I get a quotation?
Answer
- In order to obtain a
quotation we will need to email widths x heights x style (two panel vertical
slider, three panel horizontal slider, hinged unit etc)
You would be well advised to have a good look at the options available
and which of those suits your requirements for the final operation of
the products.
Question - Will
it eliminate draughts?
Answer
- Yes, but we recommend that you draught proof the existing window as
well
Question - Will
it reduce noise?
Answer
- Yes, considerably, for extra sound proofing consider a different
thickness of glass to the existing glass, different thicknesses cut out
different wave lengths giving improved noise reduction.
Also consider laminated glass for improved
sound reduction, apart from ordinary laminated glass there is now a new
generation of acoustic laminated glasses.
For additional reduction of noise pollution
leave a 4" (104mm) cavity, line the reveals with acoustic tiles
leaving a 3mm gap between the tiles and the prime window. Once again
draught proofing the existing window is vitally important, you would be
amazed that people/firms do not carry out this basic requirement
Question -
Will it reduce heat loss?
Answer
- Yes, the cavity formed between the prime and secondary windows is an
effective thermal insulator, if the cavity is more than 4" (104mm)
then you can get thermal currents within it that will decrease the
insulation value.

Will I need to re-decorate?
Answer
- No, one of the big advantages of secondary double glazing is the fact
the nothing is disturbed, our secondary glazing is even pre-finished so
that you do not even need to paint it,
