Security secondary glazing is a separate slim window fitted on the room side of an existing window, glazed with laminated glass so it forms a second barrier. It leaves the original window untouched outside, which makes it a common choice for listed buildings, conservation areas and period sash windows.

Getting the right glass for your building

Escape and ventilation

On windows used for escape, the secondary glazing must open quickly from inside without a key or tool.

How it opens

Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.

What the rules say in England

England

Planning permission

Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Security secondary glazing in Bletchley: questions

Do you cover Milton Keynes as well as Bletchley?

Yes. As well as Bletchley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill. Dates depend on installer availability.

Do I need permission for secondary glazing in a listed building?

It depends on the building and the council. Internal secondary glazing usually has less impact than replacement windows, but listed building consent may still be needed. Ask the conservation officer before ordering.

Is secondary glazing safe for escape windows?

It can be, as long as it opens quickly from inside without a key. We design catches and handles for that.

Can I still open my sash windows?

Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
