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.

Before the glass is ordered
How it opens
Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.
Listed building consent
Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.
Glazing rules in 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 Burntwood: questions
Can you survey in Burntwood and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Burntwood, Lichfield and Cannock are booked around installer availability.
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.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
