Secondary Glazing

Secondary glazing involves installing an independent glazed panel on the inside of your existing window. A carefully designed air gap between the original window and the secondary unit helps to reduce heat loss and limit the amount of external sound entering your property.

Because the original windows remain in place, it can be a practical alternative where replacing the existing windows is undesirable or unsuitable.

For Harrogate homeowners, this can be particularly useful in older, period and heritage properties where retaining the character of the original windows is important. At Niddal, our secondary glazing from Granada is fitted internally and can be designed to remain discreet, helping to improve comfort and performance without changing the external appearance of your property. It can also be suitable for properties in conservation areas and listed buildings, subject to the relevant requirements.

Features & Benefits

Noise Reduction

Secondary glazing can also make a substantial difference where outside noise is an issue. Traffic, trains and other sources of environmental noise can be significantly reduced.

Cost Effective

Because the original windows remain in place, the installation can improve their thermal and acoustic performance without the disruption associated with a complete window replacement.

Enhanced Security

As the secondary window is positioned inside the existing window, it can provide an additional level of protection without requiring changes to the external appearance of the building.

Heat Retention

High-performance secondary glazing can reduce heat loss through existing windows, helping to create a more consistent indoor temperature and reduce reliance on heating.

What is secondary glazing?

Secondary glazing is an independent window installed on the inside of an existing primary window. Rather than replacing your original windows, a secondary glazed unit is fitted internally to create a second layer of glazing within the same window opening.

The space between the existing window and the secondary glazing creates an insulating air cavity, helping to reduce heat loss and improve the overall thermal performance of your property.

Can secondary glazing be fitted to period properties?

Secondary glazing is particularly suitable for period and heritage properties because it is installed internally and leaves the original external windows intact.

It can be used in conservation areas and listed buildings, although the specific planning or listed-building requirements for an individual property should be confirmed before work begins.

What types of windows can have secondary glazing?

Secondary glazing can be designed for many different window configurations, including casement, sash, arched, bay, curved, circular and other bespoke shapes.

Systems are available in horizontal sliding, vertical sliding, hinged, fixed and lift-out configurations.

Is secondary glazing difficult to maintain?

Secondary glazing is designed to be practical and durable.

Depending on the system selected, units can include opening mechanisms or removable sections to provide access to the original window and allow cleaning and maintenance.
