Glazing Options
We use plexiglass – a modern, lightweight equivalent to glass that’s used in the aeronautical industry – to provide a second layer to your period windows. Typically, double glazing windows have a lifespan of 20 years minimum, but they can last as long as 50 years. Their longevity depends on several factors, including the quality of the manufacture, the construction material, and how well they’ve been maintained. Triple glazing provides superior insulation, particularly suited for shaded areas where heat retention is key.
Secondary glazing involves a fully independent internal window being fitted onto the inside of the existing primary window. Secondary glazing is by far the most effective way of excluding environmental noise, making your office or home noticeably more serene. Elegant and stylish Garden Verandas available with glass or polycarbonate roofs in a contemporary or Victorian Styling. In many circumstances magnetic strip secondary glazing is likely to be consented. From initial design visit to installation, we take care of it all, from start to finish.
Our team of expert glaziers have a wealth of experience when it comes to supplying and installing secondary glazing solutions, so if it’s a guiding hand you need, we can help. As we mentioned elsewhere, secondary glazing can certainly be a permanent solution, but it’s often considered first and foremost as something more temporary. Temporary secondary glazing, then, can refer to any simple, lightweight screen that can be attached or removed from an existing pane as and when required.

Our team of expert craftsmen at Mitchell & Dickinson strive to minimise disruption and complete installations efficiently. Plexiglass is an excellent solution because it’s both shatterproof and stronger than glass, as well as being seven times more effective as an insulator. It can be scuffed a little more easily than glass, but this does not occur in normal use and can be polished out. More often than not it reduces, but is not guaranteed to eradicate, condensation. Being reversible and invisible from the outside, it complies with rules for listed buildings.

Double and triple glazing vary when it comes to design, function and performance. Double glazing is a sealed unit, consisting of two glass panes with a spacer bar installed between the two. The glazing is sealed together into a single unit, with air and insulating gas trapped in the gap between the two panes. In comparison, triple glazing is made up of three glass entrance doors panes and features two ‘gas and air pockets’ instead of one. It reduces drafts, and it’s a vast step up from single glazing – which involves a single pane of glass alone acting as a barrier between the inside and outside worlds. As anyone with single glazed windows likely knows, during the cold months, these lone panes can act like chilling units inside a home.
