Secondary Double Glazing: The Best Solution for Heritage & Strata Buildings

For heritage-listed buildings, strata title properties and apartments, traditional double glazing is often not an option due to strict regulations that protect the building’s external appearance. Secondary double glazing is the only viable solution because it does not alter the outer facade of the building while still providing the benefits of modern double glazing.

Why Choose Secondary Double Glazing?

Aside from being the preferred choice for heritage and strata properties, secondary double glazing offers numerous advantages:

1. Improved Thermal Efficiency

By adding an extra layer of insulation, secondary glazing helps to retain heat in winter and keep interiors cooler in summer, leading to lower energy bills. And, with secondary double glazing, because you get a larger air gap, you actually get even better insulation properties than with traditional double glazing, thus saving you money for heating & cooling your house, home, apartment or office.

2. Reduced Noise

Secondary glazing significantly reduces external noise, making it an excellent choice for properties near busy roads, airports, or other noisy environments. You can check out the results of the Sound Test or watch & listen to a video that demonstrates the reduction in noise levels.

3. Quick and Low-Disruption Installation

Unlike traditional double glazing, which require the full replacement of an existing window, secondary glazing is installed on the inside of existing windows, resulting in minimal disruption and mess. Most installations can easily be completed in an hour. You can watch the installation process on our Installation Videos.

4. Reduced Condensation

Secondary glazing minimizes condensation buildup by creating a barrier that reduces temperature differences between indoor and outdoor surfaces & unlike with traditional double glazing, our secondary double glazing solution allows ready access to all glass surfaces so that in the case where condensation does form, the glass can be easily cleaned of any residual water spotting.

5. Cost-Effective Solution

It’s simple maths. Because secondary double glazing only requires the addition of one additional pane of glass as compared to traditional double glazing, the cost of materials is significantly reduced. Thus, on average, secondary double glazing is at least 30% cheaper than traditional double glazing, making it a more affordable way to improve window insulation.
