Improve Insulation, Noise Reduction & Security With Secondary Glazing
No time or budget to replace your windows? No problem. Secondary glazing is a fantastic solution to upgrading windows that just aren’t performing as they should. Whether it’s because they’re letting too much sound in or are noticeably draughty, secondary glazing can help to add an extra layer of insulation and soundproofing without needing new windows.
What is Secondary Glazing?
Secondary glazing means adding an extra, slim and fully separated internal windowpane behind the existing windows. Created out of robust aluminium frames and toughened glass, it sits inside the frame of the original window, forming an additional layer that helps to preserve heat levels internally, blocks out noise and adds another layer of security to your home.
A more budget-friendly alternative to completely replacing the windows, secondary window glazing is also an ideal solution for homes with historical or architectural features that need to be protected.
Secondary Glazing For Homes in Worcester
If you’re local to Worcester or the surrounding areas, Haus Installations is your go-to choice for secondary glazing. We work with customers across Worcester to offer a more affordabel method of thermally supporting their home than replacing their windows with double glazing. It could be the perfect solution for you, too.
One of its standout features is its thermal efficiency. Secondary window glazing can have a U-value of between 0.97 W/m²K and 2.7 W/m²K, depending on the type of glass used and the system’s design. The lower the value, the better the level of insulation and the less heat lost. This insulating feature and the fact that it fits seamlessly and unobtrusively inside the original window frame mean it’s an ideal solution for houses where there are conservation restrictions.
Highly versatile, secondary window glazing works just as well for Georgian or Victorian sliding sash windows, and they’re frequently found in historic Worcester. More modern properties with casement or French windows achieve energy-saving performance regardless of the property or window style.

How Secondary Glazing Works for Your Home
Incredibly adaptable and easy to install, secondary window glazing can be in a range of styles to suit different window designs and user requirements. Our secondary glazing in Worcester delivers results that are discreet, functional and built to last, whilst matching your windows’ usability and charm.
Available Styles
If you’ve got a period home with sliding sash windows, you’ll be looking for vertical sliders, but other window styles will want either vertical sliders or hinged secondary window glazing, depending on your current windows. Our experts will assess your windows and frames and recommend a style that fits the functionality and aesthetic of your home.
Vertical Slider
Vertical sliding secondary window glazing is ideally suited to homes with classic sash windows. The slider allows the panels to slide up and down independently, and even tilt to allow the cleaning of the original window. This window type will provide excellent ventilation control and insulation while blending seamlessly with the period aesthetic of your home. With slim frames and a smoothly gliding mechanism, it will offer ease of use, noise reduction and a pleasing, refined finish.
Horizontal Slider
Secondary window glazing in a horizontal sliding style has panels that move from side to side, giving easy access to the original window behind for easy cleaning or simply opening on a warm summer’s day. They’re an excellent choice for larger or grouped windows where vertical sliders wouldn’t work. With a slim profile, they provide excellent thermal and noise reduction properties.
Benefits of Secondary Window Glazing
Secondary glazing offers an array of practical benefits that significantly enhance the experience of the property users. From energy savings and greater security to more comfort indoors in terms of warmth and noise levels. It’s a smart investment that gives a great return on investment, especially on homes where window replacement isn’t an option.
Noise Reduction
Adding another layer of glass and the air gap between them helps to disrupt the path of the sound waves and can cut down external noise by up to 80%. For those inner city dwellers living near busy roads, railways, airports or even schools and pubs, having an additional secondary window glazing layer can create a peaceful, calm oasis inside your home.
Thermal Insulation
Single-glazed windows are at a disadvantage when it comes to keeping the property warm, and those on period properties may even suffer from draughty frames. Introducing the additional layer of insulation will dramatically reduce the heat transfer, helping to maintain more constant indoor temperatures. Ultimately, secondary glazing in Worcester can result in lower heating bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
Security
A traditional, single-pane window is not too difficult for an intruder to break and gain access, which is why adding another layer of secondary window glazing helps make your home more secure. Our secondary glazing is created with toughened safety glass and sturdy aluminium frames to create an additional barrier. It is a great deterrent, especially on the ground floor where windows are more accessible.
