Secondary double glazing diy is a cost-effective way of improving acoustic and heat insulation in your home without having to replace existing windows. It is ideal for listed buildings or in areas where planning laws prevent you from changing the aesthetics of your original windows.
It is a clear acrylic sheet that fits over your existing window, forming an effective air gap. It allows warm air to remain inside your home in winter, and reduces cold air intruding from outside making rooms feel much more comfortable. It also reduces draughts and condensation.
You will still be able to open the original windows as you would before, and in many cases you won’t even notice that you have a secondary glazing fitted. The benefits of this can be seen in reduced heating bills and improved comfort.
