Benefits of Secondary Glazing
Single glazing can genuinely limit your home’s potential, especially in terms of security and temperature. Adding a second pane of glass to your single-glazed windows is a fantastic solution for your Winchester home. You can enjoy improved performance with minimal disruption. A secondary glazing installation is excellent at keeping your family safe, with an extra layer of protection making forced entry far more complex.
Having secondary glazing in your Winchester home will significantly enhance energy efficiency, which will improve thermal insulation. The additional glazing is excellent at keeping the cold air out and the warm air in, so you will be at a comfortable temperature all year round. Secondary glazing will help reduce energy bills, too, with less need for heating, making for an excellent long-term investment and reducing your carbon footprint. Installing secondary glazing is one of the best ways to soundproof your Winchester home, as it can considerably reduce noise pollution from the outside. So, if you live in a well-populated area or by a busy road where unwanted noises can be a significant issue, having secondary glazing installed can be the answer.
Finally, having secondary glazing installed will improve your everyday life and increase your property value. Potential homeowners will see the benefits of improved insulation and reduced noise and be more likely to purchase your Winchester home at a higher price. Therefore, secondary glazing is a significant long-term investment if you ever look to sell.
Minimise Condensation Risk
Condensation can be a significant issue in your home, causing mould from dampness. It is a genuine concern for older homes and can damage the interior. A secondary glazing installation will ensure that the glass matches the temperature inside, lessening the risk of condensation and any potential interior damage.
Seamless Secondary Glazing Installation
A double glazing installation can cause disruption and be a time-consuming process when removing the pre-existing glass and reinstalling it. A critical reason secondary glazing is a fantastic option is that the process is straightforward, has little disruption, and will keep the look of your home. Secondary glazing is a made-to-measure feature, meaning that it won’t upset the look and feel of your home. Therefore, you can enjoy the benefits of improved insulation, security, and quiet while still maintaining your home’s character and aesthetics. Secondary glazed windows and doors are also simple to maintain, so once you have the installation, you can enjoy the stunning look without having to look after them constantly.
Secondary Window Glazing Sound Insulation
For our secondary glazing, we use Stadip Silence glass from Saint-Gobain, which is a laminated safety glass with outstanding acoustic performance. Laminated glass is a sandwich made of one piece of plastic Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) between two or more glasses. The glass stops vibrations and improves noise control, allowing you to enjoy a more peaceful place with improved acoustics inside your Winchester home.
