Perspex Secondary Glazing

As a perspex secondary glazing, a non-invasive solution to energy loss through existing windows, secondary glazing is increasingly popular. It’s also a good choice for commercial, historical or listed buildings, as it can help preserve and enhance the building’s character, without interfering with its structure. Unlike new window replacements, secondary glazing doesn’t require planning permission. However, the biggest issue can often be deciding whether to use glass or acrylic.

A key advantage of secondary glazing is the reduction in cold draughts and outside noise. This is a particularly big benefit for those living near busy roads, noisy neighbors, or even office spaces. Another major benefit is reducing condensation in homes. This can be difficult to eliminate, but a slim second window pane can help create a seal that reduces air leakage and minimises condensation build-up.

Perspex Secondary Glazing: A Stylish and Practical Solution for Improved Insulation and Comfort

There are many different forms of secondary glazing available, from magnet-strip to plastic film glazing. However, the most effective form is secondary glazing made from Perspex (acrylic) plastic sheets. This offers the best levels of insulation, compared with standard glass or thin film glazing.

Secondary glazing is a great way to save money on your energy bills and can significantly reduce heat loss in your home. It is also a quick and easy project to do yourself and doesn’t require the services of a professional installer, which can help you save even more money. In addition, there are no issues with needing to obtain planning permission and it can be a good option for heritage properties where new window replacements aren’t allowed.
