Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of secondary glazing?
The benefits of secondary glazing include enhanced energy efficiency, significant noise reduction, and improved comfort, all while allowing you to retain your existing windows. This solution is particularly effective for homes in Farnham.
How does secondary glazing improve energy efficiency?
Secondary glazing improves energy efficiency by creating an insulating air gap between the existing window and the secondary pane. This barrier reduces heat loss, minimises drafts, and helps maintain a stable indoor temperature, ultimately lowering energy bills.
Can secondary glazing reduce outside noise?
Secondary glazing can significantly reduce outside noise. By adding an extra layer of glass or acrylic to your existing windows, it creates an effective sound barrier, enhancing your home's comfort and tranquillity.
What types of secondary glazing are available?
The types of secondary glazing available include sliding, hinged, and fixed units, each designed to enhance energy efficiency and noise reduction while complementing your existing windows.
How is secondary glazing installed in homes?
The installation of secondary glazing in homes involves fitting a secondary frame with a glazing unit to the existing window. This process enhances insulation and noise reduction while maintaining the aesthetic of the original windows.
What is the cost of secondary glazing services?

How does secondary glazing compare to double glazing?

While double glazing involves replacing existing windows with sealed units, secondary glazing adds an additional pane inside the existing frame, enhancing energy efficiency and noise reduction without the need for full window replacement.
