The Difference
Before & After
Secondary glazing changes how a room feels far more than how it looks. These comparisons show typical installations before and after our teams have been on site.
Before
Original single glazed windows: drafty, cold to the touch, and offering little protection from street noise.
After
Slim secondary glazing fitted internally: warmer, quieter and more secure, with the original window fully retained.
Case Studies
Featured Projects
Ashbourne Cottage
Derbyshire
