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 to think about first

How it opens

Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.

Frame colour and sightlines

Slim frames that line up with the existing meeting rails make the secondary glazing almost invisible from outside.

Planning permission

Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

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.

Security secondary glazing in Barnsley: questions

Which areas near Barnsley do you cover?

We can arrange work in Barnsley and in nearby Wakefield (9 miles), Rotherham (10 miles) and Ossett (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

Can I still open my sash windows?

Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
