Secondary Glazing creates a barrier that minimizes the transfer of heat energy from one area to another by reducing the conduction, convection and/or radiation effects, in other words making it harder for the heat to escape your home.
It is done by reducing conduction and convection effects.
The air gap between the existing window and Secondary Glazing will act as a barrier just like with double or tripple glazed windows.
You may be living a conservation area and not able to upgrade your existing windows to new or find it very difficult to replace like for like.

Secondary Glazing involves installing a fully independent single glazed window on the inside of your existing window.
Back in 1968 Derrick Smith founded City Sound, at a time when secondary glazing was virtually unknown, despite the growing problem of old Victorian sash windows in London buildings.
Although beautiful, these sash windows were often poorly fitting and allowed in all the noise, draughts and dirt of a growing city.
As most of the buildings in central London are listed, the thought of changing the original windows for double glazed units was not an option.
Rightly so - could you imagine what London would look like today if everyone had installed double glazing to their own design?
Our Secondary Glazing is a great solution for buildings with restrictions, such as listed building or buildings with character windows and features that would be lost if using Double Glazing as this would require the original windows to be removed.

Our Secondary windows are made with strong slim-line aluminium framework so the frames cannot be seen from outside.
This design window has become very popular in conservation areas where there are restrictions on replacing existing external windows.
Secondary glazing does not only help improve thermal performance it can also reduce the outside noise, as well as adding that extra security feature.
Secondary glazing involves the installation of new, fully independent secondary glazed frames, fixed, or opening, on the room side of your existing windows.
Carefully designed and professionally fitted by AES to provide effective acoustic and thermal insulation with added draught prevention.

Secondary glazing provides a secondary form of window that is fitted, on the inside, immediately behind a primary window.
There are two major reasons for having secondary glazing installed in your home.
Secondary glazing provides an ideal solution where increased thermal insulation is required e.g. in listed or historical buildings or in a conservation area where by-laws required that primary windows must be single glazed.
Secondary glazing is also specified in situations where noise reduction is necessary and desirable e.g. for hospitals and houses on busy main roads.
Often forgotten by a large percentage of our industry, secondary glazing is a very important part of our product range.
We know that sometimes replacing your primary windows is often not the best solution to your needs, and maybe just not possible due to conservation or listed building status issues.
If you just can't bear to lose your original timber sash or steel windows, but desperately need to increase the insulation levels in your home, then we have a bespoke secondary glazing solution for you.

What do we mean by U value?
U value is a means of comparing the heat lost through various parts of a building.
A part of a building with a U value of 4.0 W/mK will lose twice as much heat as one with a U value of 2.0 W/mK.
A single glazed window has a U value of 5.6, with secondary glazing this can be reduced to 1.8 - 1.9.
Low E glass in secondary glazing reflects most of the heat back into the room.
Draughts through your windows can create cold spots around the room, particularly around the legs and feet, as a result heating is normally turned up higher to compensate.
