If you are searching for secondary glazing for sash windows you no doubt have some drafty sash windows that may well be covered in condensation and doing a poor job of cutting down noise from outside such as traffic and aeroplanes.
Secondary glazing can reduce noise by as much as 50% depending on the gap between the existing window and the new glazing, 50mm / 2 inches is the minimum recommended gap and 200mm / 8 inches is the maximum recommended gap.
Secondary glazing will also eliminate as much as 95% of surface condensation that is common on many single glazed sash windows. Saving you the hassle of wiping down your window boards and trying to keep your curtains dry.
It may not have been something you had thought of but secondary glazing is lockable therefore will be a particularly good deterrent to any burglar, particularly if you are in a ground floor flat.
So what are your options?
The cheapest option is to install a secondary glazing that can be lifted out for cleaning. This is a good economic choice if the window has been painted shut and you have no plans to fix it.
You can also get a casement style secondary glazing which is one big window which opens in the way allowing for easy cleaning which is obviously easier than lifting out the glass. If you have furniture or a TV in the way then their is a third option.
You can have vertical sliding frames that are designed to mirror the look of your existing window so all the vertical bars line up and they can be lifted out should you require to do some maintenance on your windows.
Your secondary glazed window will have a hardwood frame securely fixed to your existing window and the narrow glazing bars and will where possible mirror your existing window to be as unobtrusive as possible.
Irrespective of what style your existing window is there is a secondary glazed window available that will allow you to keep your decorative features of your existing windows.
Secondary glazing frame options include fixed panels, lift out panels, hinged casement openings and horizontal and vertical sliding windows.
