Secondary Glazing Bath And North East Somerset Council
Contact us for further information on our company and how you can benefit from the use of secondary glazing in your home, business or building. City Sound Glazing work with virtually every Velux window installation type and shape including bay, picture, sash, arched and casement windows. They also help to keep homes and buildings more secure, eco-efficient, and most importantly, cost-efficient.
From a business perspective, double glazing offers many benefits from cost saving to improved security measures and works towards maintaining a comfortable working environment. A spacer bar maintains the gap between the panes and is usually made from aluminium or plastic with low heat conductivity properties. Energy-saving glass helps reduce heat loss but it can be more expensive to install. Founded in 1884, George Barnsdale is a family run business manufacturing high-performance timber windows and doors in Donington, Lincolnshire and offering a nationwide project management and installation service. The extra layer of protection offered by secondary glazing ensures the heat remains firmly within your home. Our solutions reduce heat loss by up to 60% and improves your carbon footprint.
We’re sure to have the ideal door and matching glazing style to suit your tastes. Under the building regulations in England and Wales, new and replacement windows must meet certain energy efficiency requirements, as well as other requirements relating to safety, means of escape and ventilation. The sheets of glass are generally tempered (toughened) or laminated for safety. To keep the panes of glass apart, pane spacers are set around the inside edges. The more efficient windows use spacers that contain little-or-no metal, often known as 'warm edge' spacers.
Our expert team is here to help you select the perfect windows for your needs. Visit our showroom to experience the quality of VELFAC products, or reach out to a VELFAC distributor for guidance. Choosing between double and triple glazing depends on factors like your home’s insulation level, environmental impact, and budget.

Period properties tend to have unusually shaped windows that are often not level and, as a result, a DIY solution can be tricky to install. Your ironmongery and catches are modified to work with the CosyGlazing system to provide maximum efficiency. With our CosyGlazing secondary glazing in place, you will feel the difference in warmth and comfort of your home immediately. Employing specialists to fit your secondary glazing ensures a professional installation, which is guaranteed, and saves you the stress of doing it yourself. Double glazing minimises heat loss thanks to the gas insulation in the sealed unit and the two glass panels.
