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
- Low-E glass for better insulation
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles

Powys is rural, with small market towns such as Brecon, Newtown, Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells, Victorian and stone buildings, and farmhouses and holiday lets some way from main roads.
Typical places for security secondary glazing:
- Ground-floor flats in converted townhouses
- Period sash windows with original glass
- Listed homes and buildings in conservation areas
- Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in Wales
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.
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 Newtown: questions
Do you cover Welshpool as well as Newtown?
Yes. As well as Newtown, we can arrange work in nearby Welshpool. 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.
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.
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.
