Our other secondary glazing options
Implementing Modern Solutions To Your Home
If you have windows that are prone to draughts, lower security or energy efficiency, aluminium secondary glazing is the right option for you. Rather than replacing your original windows, secondary glazing offers an alternative, lightweight window that sits inside your property’s existing window. With this in place, you can expect better results in soundproofing, security and insulation. As well as a seamless, unobtrusive method that maintains the authentic sightlines of your windows.
Our units come recommended by both Historic England and the Listed Property Owners Club as secondary glazing suitable for properties in historic areas.
Noise Reduction
All our bespoke units can be fabricated with acoustic glass and acoustic foam technology. As a result they can achieve a reduction in noise of up to 75%. That’s the equivalent up to 45Db.
The key to effective noise reduction is to install an extra glass barrier so that the energy in sound wave vibrations is reduced. For best results the distance between the primary window and secondary glazing should be 100-150mm.
Insulation
Loss of heat through old, draughty windows increases energy bills considerably. Installing secondary glazing in front of the original windows helps to create a double-glazed effect. In turn this controls temperature variations and increases thermal insulation.
Pilkington K Glass is specifically designed to allow sunlight to pass through the glass and into the room , while blocking heat from escaping back out. It actually pushes the heat back into the room!
And this comes at a much lower cost than altering existing timber single-glazed windows to re-glaze with thermally efficient double glazing.
Conservation
Changing original windows in a listed building is rarely permitted. This can be a frustration, as the thermal performance of heritage properties usually comes nowhere near to meeting modern standards. Installing the subtle design of Incarnation secondary glazing allows properties to retain their character while bringing the temperature up a few notches!
Incarnation secondary glazing can also support Rose Collection sash windows on projects where replacements are viable on some façades but not others. This may be down to planning conditions or budget constraints – either way, a combination of Incarnation secondary glazing and Rose Collection sash windows can help.
