It leaves the original window untouched outside, which makes it a common choice for listed buildings, conservation areas and period sash windows.

What to think about first
Frame colour and sightlines
Slim frames that line up with the existing meeting rails make the secondary glazing almost invisible from outside.
Listed building consent
Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Windows needed for escape
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, locks, secondary glazing and film must leave it able to open. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass and sash windows. The Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advises on these cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Security secondary glazing in Strabane: questions
Do you cover Derry as well as Strabane?
Yes. As well as Strabane, we can arrange work in nearby Derry. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
Will secondary glazing cause condensation?
A well-fitted unit usually reduces condensation on the inner pane. Some ventilation of the gap may be needed, which we discuss at the survey.
