Granada Secondary Glazing

Lift out secondary glazing is a great way of insulating windows that require occasional access. These windows utilise removable secondary glazing to seal off the window while it is not being used. However, when you do need to access the window, the secondary glazing lifts out. Our lift out design is especially ideal for listed properties where installing double glazing is not an option. Their frames sit behind the window unobtrusively, adding a layer of insulation without affecting the outer appearance of the property.

Fixed secondary glazing is an independent window that is fitted on the interior side of the existing window. The purpose is to provide significant noise reduction, improved thermal performance and enhanced security. An insert panel is attached to the existing pane and can be fixed permanently into position on a window or door then it is trimmed and sealed all around the edges. Available in several different styles and single or double glazed aluminium profiles, fixed secondary glazing has a number of configurations to choose from.

A common issue among home improvement solutions is the question of planning permission. Do I need planning permission for secondary glazed windows? The answer is usually no. Conservation areas and listed building are two types of properties that especially struggle with double glazing due to the area of the building. However, secondary glazing provides a solution.

Horizontal sliding secondary glazing is extremely popular due to it being multi-functional and a perfect fit for all property types and styles. Whether you own a period property, listed building or a character cottage, our secondary glazing solutions will complement them all. It is the most commonly used type of secondary glazing and ensures high levels of security whilst achieving durability and a long-lasting lifespan. It is particularly useful when replacement windows are not needed or if your home is within a conservation area as they offer a discreet and subtle upgrade.

With no transoms or mullions to spoil the view, our Heritage hinged secondary glazing windows provide a truly unobtrusive glazing system. They retain the character of your existing primary windows, whilst delivering great acoustic performance, enhanced thermal efficiency, condensation control and enhanced security. Hinged secondary glazing windows are popular due to being suitable for all types of property from modern high rises to period cottages or homes. Secondary glazing is useful for when you have windows that don't need fully replacing so that you can add to them to make them multi-functional.

Noise reducing secondary glazing can block external noise pollution by up to 80% which is the equivalent to 54dB. Leading the fight against noise pollution in the home is Secondary Glazing. Secondary Glazing continues to grow in popularity, in no small part thanks to its unique soundproofing, thermal benefits and draught prevention capabilities. The key to minimising noise levels is to install an extra barrier that sound waves find it difficult to pass through. To achieve optimum performance we often advise that secondary glazing is installed with a gap of 150mm - 200mm from the primary window.

Granada's ability to design arched and truly bespoke secondary glazing makes us an ideal choice for preserving the heritage and character of a building, with churches being no exception. From Grade II listed churches to palaces and even castles, we've worked with all manner of ecclesiastical properties to get precisely the right results. In Chesterfield, we specified slim horizontal sliding sashes (SS2) and fixed removable panels (LO) to line through with the existing mullions and transoms. A low emissivity glass was chosen to achieve an optimum U value of 1.868W/m2K.

Many windows in older, more traditional properties are out of square. In most cases, standard secondary glazing can be installed, by shaping of the timber sub frame and the use of bespoke windows and finishing trims. Where this is not possible, we can manufacture arched, curved and bespoke secondary windows. Our bespoke secondary windows retain original characteristics, whilst taking advantage of design, material and production advances. Stained glass, leaded lights and historic glass can all be secondary glazed.
