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.
What you can specify
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Low-E glass for better insulation
- Noise and draught reduction
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
Windows needed for escape
Approved Document B expects many habitable rooms in houses, particularly upstairs, to have an escape window with a clear opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. Changing the glass does not alter that, but locks, secondary glazing and film must not stop the window opening. Laminated glass is hard to break through, so escape always relies on the window opening.

Security secondary glazing in Battersea: questions
Do you cover Chelsea as well as Battersea?
Yes. As well as Battersea, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chelsea, Pimlico and Fulham. 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.
Can I still open my sash windows?
Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
