Slimline secondary glazing for listed buildings, period properties and rental flats

Coverage: UK-wide
Warranty: 10 years insurance-backed
Accreditation: FENSA registered

Secondary glazing is the ideal solution where you can't replace the primary window — listed buildings, conservation areas, rental properties, and period homes with original sash windows. We install slim, virtually invisible aluminium-framed secondary units behind your existing windows, delivering noise reduction up to 50 dB and a 60% improvement in thermal efficiency, without altering the building's appearance.

Why choose our secondary glazing

  • Listed building consent-friendly — no alteration to original windows
  • Up to 50 dB noise reduction when combined with acoustic glass
  • 60% reduction in heat loss through windows
  • Tilt-in, lift-out and horizontal sliding options for easy cleaning
  • Eliminates draughts and condensation on cold single-glazed primary windows

Our process

From survey to installation in 4 steps

01

Heritage-sensitive survey

We measure existing reveal depths and assess the primary window's condition. Our surveys are accepted by listed-building officers and planning departments.

02

Bespoke manufacture

Each unit is made to fit your exact reveal — slim aluminium frames in white, brown, black or RAL-matched colours. Glass options include acoustic laminated and Low-E thermal.

03

Discreet installation

Installed entirely from inside the property with no disruption to the original window. Most installations are completed in a single day.

04

Maintenance & operation

We hand over with a demonstration of opening, removal for cleaning, and trickle ventilation. All units have a 10-year warranty.

FAQs

Secondary Glazing questions, answered

No. Secondary glazing is fitted internally and doesn't alter the building's appearance, so it's permitted in conservation areas and most listed buildings without consent.
Standard secondary glazing gives 35-40 dB reduction. With acoustic laminated glass and a 100mm+ cavity from the primary window, we achieve up to 50 dB — ideal for flats facing busy roads or under flight paths.
Yes. Our secondary units have hinged, sliding or lift-out openings that let you access and operate the primary window for ventilation or cleaning.
No. Slim aluminium frames in matching colours sit behind the primary glass and are virtually invisible from the street. Conservation officers regularly approve our installations in heritage areas.
Secondary glazing achieves similar thermal performance to standard double glazing (U-values around 1.8-2.0 W/m²K) and superior acoustic performance, while preserving original windows — making it the only viable option for many listed buildings.
