Glazing Systems |
Secondary
Glazing Systems are hardly noticable when fitted and can dramatically
reduce outside noise and cut drafts.
Aluminium
Secondary Glazing / Secondary Double Glazing
Secondary
Glazing involves adding an extra slim-line window in addition to your
existing windows. Secondary glazing is designed to keep the heat in
and the noise out. You could also save around 10% on your heating
bills. Our Secondary Glazing is made from strong lightweight aluminium
so that the frames can be made very slim and discreet.
Secondary Glazing is perfect
for use in Listed Buildings and conservation areas. Adding secondary
glazing is a cost effective and reversible change that is recommended
by English Heritage and the Listed Property Owners Club. The Energy
Saving Trust states that it is ‘ideal solution if you are unable
to fit double glazing’.
Acoustic Glass
All windows provide a certain degree of noise control but where noise
is a particular problem choosing the right glass is critical in providing
a solution to the problem. Several options can be chosen - high performance
acoustic laminates, laminated glass, a thicker float glass or glass
insulating units with a combination of these glasses.
Save
Energy - Lower Bills
Heat losses can be compared by their U values. The higher
the U value the greater the heat loss. Ordinary glass has a U value
of 2.8 and double glazing with Pilkington K as used by ourselves has
a U value of only 1.9 which is considerably better than conventional
double glazing. Low emissivity glass such as Pilkington K have been
designed for use in double glazed units only.
We supply

Buildings, Offices, Homes, Public Buildings, Hotels, Hospitals, Museums,
