Glazing

The cost of secondary glazing with glazing clips is between £35 and £60 per square metre including insulation tape and the glazing clips. The exact cost of secondary glazing depends on the dimensions you order. Enter your measurements in the order module here to calculate the exact price of your secondary glazing. Note that in addition to the window, you will also need materials for the installation.
We offer bespoke products that national window companies can’t, with a high level of detail and personal service. As the name suggests, magnetic secondary glazing works by using magnetic seals to attach the supplementary panel to your existing windows. Stick the magnetic seals to the secondary unit and existing windows, then simply click it into place when required. Wooden secondary glazing refers to any secondary glazing measure which uses wooden frames to hold the secondary panel in place.

When the glazing has a single pane of glass it is called single glazing; double-glazed windows have two glass panes separated by an air gap of an inert gas like argon or krypton. The highest multiple of panes is usually the triple-glazed model with three panes each separated from the other with an inert gas layer. The more panes there are, the more efficient the performance is with respect to energy efficiency, noise reduction, and security. The manufacturing process for double glazed windows is quite straightforward; each unit is created by cutting two panes of glass according to set measurements.
This can help to maintain a comfortable interior environment and save money on energy bills. The transition to internally bead timber windows has been approached cautiously due to concerns about tape failures and moisture seeping into the building's interior. However, most PVC window systems now apply internal glazing as standard, utilizing drain-through sashes and incorporating a drained and vented channel to trap any water that manages to pass the tapes.
With the UK’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050, our passion for creating bespoke sustainable solutions for our customers has never been greater. Our products help raise energy efficiency of buildings and their lasting sustainability. Glazing with a self-cleaning coating uses UV light and rain to actively break down dirt that builds up on the surface of the wet Room glass panels so windows stay cleaner for longer. Thermally broken rooflights have insulation between the inner and outer frames, reducing heat loss and preventing condensation, while allowing natural light into a building.

Secondary glazing, although cheaper, is generally not as effective at keeping your home warm. It also doesn’t prevent condensation from building up nor add to your property’s security. Whereas in the past windows were generally single glazed consisting of just a single layer of glass, today there are many different options for glazing. Yes, secondary glazing can significantly improve noise reduction in a home. By adding a second pane of glass to existing windows, secondary glazing creates an extra barrier that can effectively block external noise. A gap of around 100–150 mm between panes is optimal for soundproofing, as it can dampen a wider range of sound frequencies.

By upgrading single-glazed homes with Retro Glazing, we want to enable everyone to improve their energy consumption easily and affordably, while lowering CO2 emissions. Retro Panes keep your interior cosy and quiet without costing a fortune - by keeping your existing windows intact. Double glazing works against this process, because the conducted heat doesn’t just head outside, it is transferred to the air between the panels – which is where convection comes in.

Fixed sash and casement solutions sometimes require slight adjustment to the shutter positioning so that they work in conjunction with CosyGlazing. We discreetly do this (usually adjusting the hinges), so there is no sign we’ve made any changes at all. Often shutter knobs can spoil on the CosyGlazing but our expert craftsmen can either reposition them or replace them for flush pulls. We have even made bespoke knobs to match originals or had them forged in the original style.
Huge range of rafter supported or self supporting glazing bars for both glass or polycarbonate sheet. Draughtproofing is a complementary measure which can be used in conjunction with secondary glazing. Where appropriate we support, in principle, the use of sympathetic secondary glazing where it can be demonstrated that there is no detrimental impact on the special architectural or historic interest of the building. When combined with timber shutters and heavy curtains the energy saved in cold weather can be as good as high-performance modern windows. The simplest systems are single pane panels which can be secured with magnetic tape, making them easy and quick to fit and reducing ‘retrofitting’ work to a minimum.
