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.

- Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings
- Noise and draught reduction
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key

- Ground-floor flats in converted townhouses
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
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.
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.

Security secondary glazing in Calne: questions
Which areas near Calne do you cover?
We can arrange work in Calne and in nearby Chippenham (5 miles), Devizes (6 miles) and Melksham (7 miles). 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.
Can I still open my sash windows?
Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
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.
