Client: Private Homeowner
Location: 3 Meadow Lane, Bothamsall, Retford, DE22 8DS
Project: Installation of Secondary Glazing
Date Completed: 25/04/25
Installer: Invision Secondary Glazing

Overview
Located in the scenic village of Bothamsall, near Retford, 3 Meadow Lane is a traditional property facing the common issues associated with older homes—poor insulation, temperature fluctuations, and high energy bills. The homeowner wanted to improve the overall comfort and energy efficiency of the property without compromising its original charm.

Invision Secondary Glazing provided the ideal solution with custom-designed secondary glazing installations. The goal was to help regulate internal temperatures, reduce condensation, and lower heating bills, all while preserving the property’s historical aesthetics.

Challenges:
Temperature Control: The home struggled to stay cool in summer and retained little heat during the colder months, leading to discomfort.
Condensation Issues: Excessive condensation was a common issue, particularly during winter, which could damage window frames and compromise visibility.

High Heating Costs: Single-glazed windows were not energy efficient, contributing to higher energy consumption and increased heating costs.
Solution
Invision Secondary Glazing was tasked with providing a long-term, energy-efficient solution to the homeowner's needs. The company designed and installed custom secondary glazing that integrated seamlessly with the existing window frames.

Key features of the secondary glazing installation included:

Low-emissivity glass for superior thermal insulation and reduced heat loss.
Aluminum frames with precision fittings to create a draught-proof seal, improving both comfort and energy efficiency.
Removable glazing panels for easy cleaning and maintenance, giving the homeowners flexibility in managing their living environment.

The installation was done with minimal disruption, and the glazing solution was tailored to enhance the energy efficiency of the entire home, helping to maintain an optimal internal temperature all year round.

Results
After the secondary glazing installation by Invision Secondary Glazing, the homeowners saw significant benefits:

Improved Temperature Regulation: The property remained cooler during the warmer months and warmer in winter, leading to a more comfortable living environment throughout the year.

Reduction in Condensation: Condensation on the windows was drastically reduced, particularly in high-moisture areas like the bedrooms and living room.
Lower Heating Bills: The enhanced thermal efficiency of the secondary glazing resulted in decreased reliance on central heating, ultimately leading to a reduction in energy consumption and heating costs.
Noise Reduction: In addition to thermal benefits, the secondary glazing also provided enhanced acoustic insulation, minimizing external noise from the surrounding area.
