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

Noise and draught reduction
Suits sash, casement and arched openings
Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
Colour-matched frames to suit the room
Low-E glass for better insulation

Fitting in Nottingham and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Nottingham and the NG1 postcode district, and in nearby West Bridgford (2 miles), Arnold (3 miles) and Hucknall.

Nottinghamshire mixes Nottingham's Lace Market warehouses and city-centre shops with Victorian terraces, post-war estates around Mansfield and Worksop, and Georgian Newark and Southwell.

This glazing suits:

Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
Period sash windows with original glass
Ground-floor flats in converted townhouses
Offices in historic buildings

Questions we will ask at the survey

How it opens

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.

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 Nottingham: questions

Do you cover West Bridgford as well as Nottingham?

Yes. As well as Nottingham, we can arrange surveys in nearby West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall. 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.

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.

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.
