🏡 Case Study: Slimline Secondary Glazing for Gothic Arch Windows in Ridgeway, Sheffield (S12 3XW)

When it comes to enhancing energy efficiency in period homes, finding the right balance between insulation and preserving character can be tricky—especially with uniquely shaped windows. That was the challenge faced by one of our recent clients in the beautiful village of Ridgeway, Sheffield, where we were asked to design a bespoke secondary glazing solution for Gothic arch windows.

🪟 The Challenge: Insulating Secondary Glazing Arched Windows Without Compromising Heritage Style

Our client’s home features stunning Gothic arch windows, a standout architectural feature that brings timeless charm. However, these striking windows also presented challenges with heat retention, particularly during the colder months. The homeowner wanted to improve insulation while retaining the original character of their property.

After an in-depth consultation, we recommended our Slimline Hinged Secondary Glazing Unit—an elegant and unobtrusive solution tailored for period and arched window designs.

🔧 Project Details: Slimline Hinged Casement Installation

Product Installed: Slimline Hinged Secondary Glazing Unit (Casement)

Glass Type: 4.0mm Toughened Low E Glass – enhances both thermal performance and safety

❄️ The Results: Enhanced Energy Efficiency with Zero Aesthetic Compromise

The result? A beautifully executed installation that significantly reduced heat loss through period windows while remaining virtually invisible from both inside and outside. The slimline secondary glazing design ensures minimal visual impact, while the hinged casement allows for easy access to the primary windows for cleaning and ventilation.

Most importantly, the homeowner was delighted:

“We didn’t think we could keep the look of our Gothic arches and still warm the house properly. This solution is perfect—we couldn’t be happier.”
