Secondary glazing in Bath, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire

Secondary glazing is often used in listed buildings and conservation areas. It is slim and discreet and is considered a reversible alteration by conservation officers. It is the ideal solution for homes located near busy roads, airports, or in noisy city centres. At Techniglaze, we install a range of secondary glazing styles from respected manufacturer Selectaglaze. These include horizontal sliding, vertical sliding, hinged, lift-out, fixed (fire-rated), and demountable. Secondary glazing is usually installed onto single glazed timber windows. It can be designed to meet bespoke specifications to ensure a low visual impact, perfect for either residential or commercial glazing applications.

    What is a secondary glazing?

    Secondary glazing is a technique for improving the insulation and soundproofing of windows. It involves fitting a second pane of glass or plastic to the inside of an existing window, creating an insulating layer of air in between the two panes. This extra layer of glazing provides improved insulation and sound reduction, as well as additional security.

    Is secondary glazing worth doing?

    Secondary glazing can be a cost-effective way of improving the insulation and soundproofing of existing windows without the expense of replacing them with double or triple glazing. However, as compared to double or triple glazing, secondary glazing may not be as effective in terms of reducing heat loss and noise. According to one source, a secondary double glazed window will have a U-value around 2.7W/m2, which is around twice as much as a primary double glazed window with an air gap of 12mm. Triple glazing, on the other hand, can achieve a U-value of at least 0.8W/m2. However, secondary glazing can still provide significant benefits, such as improved insulation and sound reduction, and may be a good option in situations where double or triple glazing is not possible or desirable.

    We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.

    Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.

    We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.

    Roy Robinson

    I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
    I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.

    Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.

    These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.

    I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
