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

Before the glass is ordered
Escape and ventilation

Frame colour and sightlines
Slim frames that line up with the existing meeting rails make the secondary glazing almost invisible from outside.
Glazing rules in Wales
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.
Windows needed for escape
Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for homes broadly in line with England's, including minimum clear opening sizes and a maximum sill height. New glass does not change those, but locks, secondary glazing and film must leave an escape window able to open. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.

Security secondary glazing in Pwllheli: questions
Do you cover Caernarfon as well as Pwllheli?
Yes. As well as Pwllheli, we can arrange work in nearby Caernarfon. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
