With humans able to hear sounds up to 140dB, soundproof windows are essential to keep your home environment as quiet and peaceful as possible. There are many outside sounds that can make their way into your property, including traffic sounds, conversations between pedestrians, building work and sirens.

LintelHeavy beam extended across the top of the rough opening to prevent the weight of the wall or roof from resting on the window frame.

This special coating allows the sun’s heat and light to pass trough the glass into the building. KryptonA gas used in insulating glass to improve thermal performance of the unit. Gas fillA process in which argon or krypton or xenon is filled into the cavity of insulating glass to improve thermal performance. You can easily order your made to measure secondary glazing, including all necessary materials for installation.

This causes any unstable nickel sulfide inclusions (imperfections that may cause spontaneous breakage of the pane) to expand disproportionately to the glass, making the glass break. This is named after the modern process used to create large, thin, flat panels from molten glass which is floated onto a pool of molten metal such as tin. This process produces a very smooth sheet of glass with a highly consistent thickness. Secondary glazing is particularly suitable for use in conservation areas and listed buildings and will retain the original external appearance of your property.

As cold air hits the external pane of glass, the pane of glass transfers the temperature to the Argon gas layer. Also, without support, the glass can quickly slump and fail in the extreme heat of a fire. If you have any particular paint colours or newly decorated joinery, we will need to match that same paint to paint the areas we disturb when we complete your installation. With that in mind, you will need to provide us with paint details (make and colour) if you require us to supply paint.

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.
This is why the edge of the glazed unit has always been the weak spot where it's the coldest. Warm edge spacer bars are blended from stainless steel and polypropylene which has a low thermal conduction rate and this reduces heat loss at the edge of the sealed unit. Our integrated system of CosyGlazing secondary glazing for sash windows allows you to slide the sashes open as usual while the CosyGlazing remains in place. As part of the fitting service, our sash window craftsmen reengineer the window, remove excess paint, release stiff sashes, replace chords and pulleys, balance weights and fit new beading with a concealed brush strip.
