On the Ground in Thirsk

The Questions That Matter
Can I Still Open My Original Windows?
Yes. Secondary glazing panels can be sliding, hinged or removable, allowing full access to your original windows for cleaning and ventilation.
Is It as Good as Replacement Double Glazing?
For noise reduction, secondary glazing is actually superior — the larger air gap between panes provides better acoustic insulation. Thermally, it's comparable to standard double glazing.
Will It Cause Condensation?
Properly installed secondary glazing with adequate ventilation shouldn't cause condensation. We ensure the original window seals are in good condition before fitting.
Will Secondary Glazing Look Ugly?
No. Modern secondary glazing systems are slim, discreet and designed to be unobtrusive. They can be colour-matched to your window frames and are barely noticeable from across the room.
