Like double glazing, it is designed to insulate your home and reduce external noise.
An ideal, discreet option for Historic or Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas, Secondary Glazing provides a solution to cold, draughty rooms and traffic noise. Adding secondary glazing can normally be done without council permissions and can be installed within a very short period of time.
It is a slim-line internal window which is made to suit the sightlines of your window and be as unobtrusive as possible. Mitchell Glass can supply and fit a range of bespoke secondary glazed windows, each custom built to your needs.
Secondary Glazing - for a warmer, quieter life...
Secondary glazing involves adding an extra slim-line window in addition to your existing windows. Secondary glazing is designed to keep the heat in and the noise out. You can save around 10% on household bills by fitting secondary glazing. Secondary Glazing is particularly suitable for use in listed buildings & conservation areas.
Secondary glazing is perfect for both residential or social housing on main roads – even where double glazed windows are already fitted. Any building where altering or replacing the prime window is not possible or not cost effective, such as listed buildings and rented accommodation, will benefit from the installation of secondary glazing.
Secondary Glazing is ideal for conservation areas, listed or historic buildings.

Vertical Sliding Secondary Glazing
Vertical sliding secondary glazing is one of the most popular types of secondary glazing, second only to the more "traditional" horizontal sliding secondary glazing. This style of secondary opens upwards sliding vertically and is perfect for mirroring traditional vertical sliding sash windows.
Vertical Sliding Secondary Glazing is also available in Non Tilt In style with or without spiral balances. These are more popular in commercial situations where health and safety issues will not allow the windows to be able to tilt inwards
Side Hinged Secondary Glazing
Side Hinged Secondary Glazing System is the most versatile type. Ideally suited to large glazed areas with minimal sight lines, the system offers a high level security with easy access to the primary glazing.
Also available as a Tilt & Turn style and a Double Hinged Unit, all options are fitted with a multipoint high security locking system and can have either butt or concealed hinges depending on the situation. The ability to utilise tilt and turn gearing also increased the flexibility of use, giving high level ventilation and a secure night vent position, whilst retaining easy access to the original window for cleaning and general maintenance.
Clip In, Lift Out Secondary Glazing
Clip in / clip out secondary glazing is designed to reduce noise and cut heat loss by adding another window inside, and in addition to existing external windows. Economically, the Lift Out is the most cost effective type of secondary glazing available, commonly used where limited access to the original window is required perhaps where a window has been installed for the sole purpose of providing light.
The lift out secondary glazing is between 250mm to 2000mm wide and from 300mm to 2200mm high.The removable panels hold a single pane of glass which allows for easy cleaning of your existing windows.
Fixed Secondary Glazing
The fixed secondary glazing we supply and install can be from 200mm to 2000mm wide and between 200mm to 2200mm high. Fixed secondary glazing comes in three standard colours of white, brown and silver.
Optionally the aluminium frames can be painted any RAL colour. The fixed unit does not come with trims as the product is fitted directly into the existing window frame. The panels are a single glazed unit that is not removable. These fixed secondary glazing window units come with pre-drilled countersunk holes, which makes them relatively easy and quick to install.
