Secondary glazing means inserting a second pane of glass in or on to an existing window frame. It’s an alternative to retrofitting new double-glazed windows, especially for old wooden houses.
There is little doubt that secondary glazing adds immeasurable benefits to your property. Here are some of these:
* Secondary glazing can save you money
Single glazed windows are notoriously poor at any insulation. The single glass panel transfers cold very easily reducing the temperature inside, which means you need to keep your heating on for longer. Up to 18% of heat in an uninsulated house is lost through windows. Secondary glazing will reduce heat loss and will undoubtedly save you money on your heating bills. The cavity formed between the prime and secondary windows is an effective thermal insulator. And by burning less fuel, you will also be lessening the CO2 footprint of your property. Therefore doing your ‘bit’ to help save the planet. It’s a win win!
* Secondary glazing can improve safety and security
Secondary glazing offers a level of safety and security that traditional windows cannot match. Here at Dual Glaze Services Ltd our units come with toughened glass reducing the chance of shattering. You can also choose high security window frames and locking systems which will make it a great deal harder for intruders to gain entry to your home.
* Secondary glazing can reduce condensation and block out outside noise
Your new windows will help reduce damp in your home by reducing condensation. The double panes will also block out a significant amount of noise which is handy if you live near a busy road. If you require extra sound proofing, you can consider a different thickness of glass to the existing glass. Here at Dual Glaze we also offer a new generation of acoustic laminated glass.
At Dual Glaze we offer a comprehensive range of secondary glazing styles for every home. These include Lift Outs, Vertical Sliders, Hinged Units and Horizontal Sliders, Balanced Vertical Sliders and Tilt-in Balanced Vertical Sliders.
