How Does Our Secondary Glazing Work
Enhance Your Home with Extraglaze
Extraglaze offers a sophisticated and practical solution for improving the comfort and energy efficiency of your home. This is especially true if you live in a period or listed property with original single-glazed windows that you wish to preserve. Our innovative magnetic acrylic secondary glazing system is custom-designed to seamlessly blend with your existing windows. We have genuinely invented unique solutions for many customers. It can even work better than modern double glazing, on occasion we install it over the top of brand new double-glazed PVCu windows when they prove disappointing. Extraglaze offers many benefits: enhanced insulation, noise reduction, and condensation control, without altering the unique character and appearance of your windows.
What is Secondary Glazing?
Secondary glazing is the process of adding a second pane of glass or a clear material like acrylic to the inside of your existing windows. This creates an insulating layer of air between the original window and the new pane. Some companies offer glass in aluminium frames, which has benefits, but also downsides that are not welcome in Listed Properties in particular. Neither glass nor metal is a good thermal insulation material, and they are often rejected for looking the way they do, and are difficult to tailor to shapes. Extraglaze is entirely focused on acrylic magnetic secondary glazing, without those downsides.
Secondary glazing is an excellent solution for boosting thermal efficiency, cutting down on external noise, and preventing condensation buildup. It's particularly well-suited for historic or period properties where preserving the original windows' character is essential.
