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

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

Escape and ventilation

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

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

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 Waltham Abbey: questions

Which areas near Waltham Abbey do you cover?

We can arrange work in Waltham Abbey and in nearby Cheshunt (1 mile), Chingford (4 miles) and Enfield (4 miles). 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.

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.

Does secondary glazing reduce noise?

Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
