With winter approaching and energy prices remaining stubbornly high, homeowners are actively seeking affordable ways to boost their home’s energy efficiency. Secondary glazing is emerging as a top contender, offering a significant reduction in heat loss and, consequently, lower heating bills. This effective insulation method isn’t just popular in period and listed buildings (where major window replacements are often restricted), but also in modern homes aiming for better thermal performance.
What is Secondary Glazing?
Secondary glazing involves installing a slimline, internally fitted aluminium frame that acts as a second barrier to your existing windows. This discreet system prevents heat escape and significantly reduces external noise. Durable and easy to maintain, these frames accommodate various glass types, from 4mm toughened to 10.8mm laminated glass. Available in numerous styles and over 200 RAL colours, secondary glazing blends seamlessly with existing window designs. Arctic Glaze Ltd, a leading UK supplier, recommends an 80mm air cavity and 6.4mm laminated low-E glass for optimal heat retention.
The Benefits:
The key advantage is the dramatic reduction in heat loss. The extra insulation layer keeps cold air out and warm air in, noticeably raising the internal temperature. This translates to lower energy consumption and reduced reliance on heating, resulting in substantial savings on energy bills.
Beyond thermal efficiency, secondary glazing offers:
Noise Reduction: The extra glass layer significantly muffles external noise, creating a quieter home.
Enhanced Security: It provides an additional layer of protection against intruders.
