Secondary Glazing Case Study – Hollow Stone, Nottingham NG1 1JH

Installer: Invision Secondary Glazing
Location: Hollow Stone, Nottingham City Centre, NG1 1JH
Glass Used: 6.4mm Laminated Glass
Secondary Glazing Styles: Tilt BVS Sash & Horizontal Sliding Units

Project Overview
Invision Secondary Glazing completed a bespoke secondary glazing installation at a residential apartment on Hollow Stone, Nottingham. The homeowner had recently moved in and was experiencing heat loss, high noise levels, and rising energy costs caused by inefficient single-glazed windows.
The client wanted a cost-effective solution to improve comfort, reduce noise pollution, and help lower the property’s EPC rating, without replacing the original windows.

The Solution
We installed high-performance secondary glazing using 6.4mm laminated glass, selected for its excellent thermal insulation and acoustic reduction.

To suit the different window openings within the apartment, we used a combination of:

* Tilt BVS sash secondary glazing – ideal for traditional sash windows

* Horizontal sliding secondary glazing – perfect for larger window openings
All units were made to measure to ensure maximum performance and a discreet internal finish.

Key Benefits Achieved
* Significant reduction in external noise from city traffic
* Improved thermal efficiency, reducing heat loss
* Lower energy bills and improved EPC performance
* Increased comfort throughout the apartment
* No change to the external appearance of the building

Why Choose Secondary Glazing?
Secondary glazing is an ideal solution for apartments and period properties across the UK. Using 6.4mm laminated glass provides:
* Excellent soundproofing
* Improved energy efficiency
* Reduced condensation
* Enhanced security
It offers many of the benefits of double glazing at a lower cost and with minimal disruption.
