Why should you install secondary window glazing in listed or heritage buildings?
With such a high volume of heritage and listed buildings in the UK, it’s important for homeowners to maintain energy efficiency in their listed homes whilst also respecting period design features.
Older homes have some of the lowest energy efficiency ratings on the market, so investing in premium secondary glazing for listed buildings will insulate your home and waste less energy. This isn’t just good for the planet, it’s good for your wallet – lowering energy bills and keeping your rooms warmer for longer.
As well as helping to insulate, secondary glazing for listed buildings will deter opportunistic burglars thanks to the reinforced glass increasing your security.
Do you need planning permission to install secondary glazing in listed buildings?
As with many listed property alterations, you will need planning permission to install secondary glazing in listed buildings. To do this, you will have to send an application for listed building consent for alteration.
We have countless experiences installing aluminium secondary-glazed windows for heritage buildings. Our trusted and dedicated team of designers and installers were responsible for the refurbishment of Evelyn House, Kensington.
Following a thorough planning process, we installed new double-glazed Benenden Conservation windows and replica bronze panels, respecting the building’s original stylings whilst also increasing energy efficiency.
Secondary glazing benefits
Quite simply, homeowners choose secondary glazed windows because they’re quiet, warm and secure. These three features are the bedrock of the unique secondary glazing system and are the reason why so many homeowners are adopting secondary glazing.
Noise Reduction
Secondary glazing offers the most effective levels of noise reduction whilst also boasting thinner aluminium frames.
Thermal Insulation
Secondary glazing adds an extra layer of defence to guard your home against heat loss , ideal for older properties or those concerned with energy usage.
Enhanced Security
Secondary glazing makes your windows incredibly difficult to open from the outside, creating a further layer of defence against forced entry.
Reduced Condensation
Secondary glazing will help eliminate condensation in the home , preventing damp and chill.
Types of Glazing Options
