Secondary Glazing Sheffield
Attractive and high performing windows made from durable uPVC and lightweight aluminium. At Sheffield Double Glazing Company, we install high quality windows to meet your home improvement expectations. When you want to enhance your home, new windows are an excellent investment.
What is secondary glazing?
Secondary glazing is simply an extra pane of glass fitted 100mm from the existing pane. This gap between the glass panes can reduce heat loss by up to 70%! Our secondary glazing is tailored to you, so your new glazing will be the perfect fit for your existing windows. Upgrading to secondary glazed units will reduce your energy bills and make your home a cosier place to be.
Noise insulating windows in South Yorkshire
Secondary glazing is effective at reducing the amount of external noise from traffic, schools, and people passing by your home. The added slimline glass pane offers an additional barrier that prevents loud noises from entering your home. After you have had secondary glazing installed, your home will be a peaceful place.
Thermally efficient windows
Utilising innovative techniques that replicate our sophisticated double-glazing designs, secondary glazing significantly improves the thermal performance of your home. By incorporating another glazed panel, the insulating space between it and the existing window acts an insulator. The precious heat inside your home cannot escape through the tightly sealed unit and draughts cannot get in. In addition, tired windows are susceptible to condensation, which is an obvious sign of poor thermal performance. Therefore, by having secondary glazing panels installed, condensation will soon be a thing of the past.
An incredibly important factor to mention is energy efficiency is essential to modern home buyers. Secondary glazing will make the property more sellable and can also add value, up to 10%!
Highly secure windows
Providing better defences again intruders, secondary glazing will improve the security of your home. Single glazed or old double-glazed windows offer little protection and are often targeted by burglars. So, updating your windows with robust secondary glazing means your home will be less vulnerable and you will have peace of mind that you and your family are safe for decades to come.
Bespoke secondary glazed windows
Whether you are getting secondary glazing installed on your existing windows, or as part of a full set of replacement windows, we offer an array of window designs including practical casement windows and stylish flush sash windows. No matter what design you choose, your new windows can be customised to perfectly complement your home and are compatible with secondary glazing panels.
Our range of high-performance windows come in two versatile materials, uPVC & aluminium. Plus, they can be finished in a plethora of beautiful RAL colours including alluring hues like tranquil Chartwell Green and contemporary Anthracite Grey. Along with several realistic wood effect foils, you can preserve the heritage character of your home with ease with secondary glazing installed by Sheffield Double Glazing Company.
Is secondary glazing worthwhile?
Secondary glazing is worthwhile for listed buildings because it is seen by most authorities as an upgrade that does not affect the fabric of the building. So if you live in a listed building and have single glazing then secondary glazing will mean you don’t have to replace the existing windows and you benefit from reduced energy bills, increased comfort and soundproofing.
