Do you need Secondary Glazing in Guildford?

When you live or work in a period building, the last thing you want is to mess with the windows: often they’re one of the best features of older properties or listed buildings.

Not only that, such buildings are also often protected by law; this means you cannot have window units replaced, which is what double glazing requires.

Because of these restrictions, historic buildings like Hampton Court Palace frequently have secondary glazing. Since it is considered a reversible change it’s highly recommended by The English Heritage and The Listed Property Owners Club.

What is Secondary Glazing?

This system of glazing involves fitting a fully independent internal window behind the existing primary window. It helps to rectify draughts and poor acoustic performance, as well as improving heat retention.

Like double glazing, secondary glazing also provides significant noise reduction, improves thermal efficiency, and provides enhanced security.

This system can be installed any time of year with very little disruption.
