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
- Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings
- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched
- Noise and draught reduction

Before the glass is ordered
Escape and ventilation
On windows used for escape, the secondary glazing must open quickly from inside without a key or tool.
How it opens
Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.
Glazing rules in England
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.
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.

Security secondary glazing in Doncaster: questions
Which areas near Doncaster do you cover?
We can arrange work in Doncaster and in nearby Rotherham (11 miles), Pontefract (14 miles) and Barnsley (15 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
