Improve Comfort, Reduce Noise & Retain Your Property’s Character
What Is Secondary Glazing?
Secondary glazing involves installing an additional internal window system behind your existing window. The slim secondary frame creates an insulating air gap that helps reduce heat loss, improve sound insulation, and minimise draughts — all while preserving the original exterior appearance of the property.
