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.
Choices you can make
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched
- Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames
- Low-E glass for better insulation
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles

What to think about first
Listed building consent
Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.
How it opens
Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.
Consents and safety: 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.
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.

Security secondary glazing in Arnold: questions
Which areas near Arnold do you cover?
We can arrange work in Arnold and in nearby Nottingham (3 miles), Hucknall (4 miles) and West Bridgford (5 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.
Can I still open my sash windows?
Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
