Our Services
Secondary Glazing
Internal secondary glazing that improves insulation and reduces street noise for period homes, fitted to preserve original sash windows and architectural character.
About This Service
Secondary Glazing Done Right
Every secondary glazing installation starts with a free on-site survey and a clear three-step plan. We measure original sashes, recommend timber or slimline aluminium secondary panes, then manufacture and fit bespoke internal units that boost insulation and cut street noise while leaving original glazing untouched. Installations are reversible, sympathetic to conservation areas, and finished with draught-sealing and a workmanship warranty for lasting performance.
Our Process
How It Works
Free Survey & Plan
We inspect each sash, assess frame condition and acoustic needs, then present a clear, written proposal that suits conservation requirements.
Bespoke Manufacture
Profiles are made to measure in timber or slimline aluminium, matched to your property and built for easy removal if required by listed building rules.
Fit, Seal & Final Checks
We install internal units, fit brush seals and vents where needed, complete airtight sealing, and carry out a final performance and finish check.

Systems that respect period character. Secondary glazing offers an alternative internal solution for Georgian terraces, Victorian townhouses and period flats across Manchester. Choose slimline aluminium for minimal sightlines, or timber frames to match existing joinery. Acoustic laminates and sealed cavities reduce traffic and tram noise, while thermal performance improves without replacing original single panes.
Reversible and low impact. Installations are designed to be removable so original frames and glass remain unaltered for conservation records or future restoration. Units are easy to clean from the inside, use brush seals to cut draughts and can include trickle vents for ventilation. Book a free survey and we will recommend secondary glazing or double glazing depending on the sash condition and conservation advice.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Secondary glazing is fitted internally and designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. We offer slimline profiles and timber options matched to existing mouldings so external appearance and architectural detail remain unchanged.
