Why get Secondary Glazing in Hindhead?

What is secondary glazing? And why could it be perfect for your period property in Hindhead?

Secondary glazing involves fitting a fully independent internal window behind the existing primary window.

Since double glazing entails having whole units installed, it can ruin the appearance of traditional windows. Secondary glazing meanwhile is considered a reversible change, and therefore recommended by The English Heritage and The Listed Property Owners Club.

If a property’s windows have lasted for hundreds of years, it’s natural to wish to preserve these; it’s also important to protect windows with historic value in themselves, such as medieval stained glass.

Secondary glazing is used on many historic buildings, which are often draughty and have poor acoustic performance. This system helps rectify all these factors, as well as improving heat retention. Like double glazing, secondary glazing also provides significant noise reduction, improves thermal efficiency and provides enhanced security.
