EPC C Deadline: April 2027
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) require all commercially let properties to achieve EPC C by April 2027. Non-compliance risks fines of up to 150% of rateable value.
Secondary glazing improves your window U-value from 5.0 W/m2K to 1.8 W/m2K
For most commercial buildings, this single improvement is sufficient to move from EPC D/E to EPC C.

Guest sleep quality is your TripAdvisor rating
A single negative review mentioning traffic noise costs more than glazing an entire floor. Our acoustic secondary glazing delivers 40-45 dB noise reduction, transforming street-facing rooms from one-star complaints to five-star silence.

Why Interior-Only
The No-Scaffolding Advantage
Every installation is completed entirely from inside the building. No external access, no street closures, no disruption to your business or neighbours.
No Scaffolding Required
Every panel is fitted from inside the building. No scaffolding costs, no pavement licences, no disruption to pedestrians or neighbouring businesses.
Fully Reversible Installation
All systems can be removed without trace, satisfying English Heritage, Historic England, and conservation officer requirements for Grade I and Grade II listed buildings.
Minimal Disruption
Hotels: room-by-room with no guest displacement. Offices: floor-by-floor during business hours. Retail: overnight installation available.
Planning Exempt
Secondary glazing is an internal alteration. No planning permission required, even in conservation areas. Listed building consent is not typically needed.
Measurable ROI
Average 4-6 year payback through energy savings alone. Factor in EPC compliance, reduced complaints, and higher rental yields for sub-3-year returns.
Acoustic Performance
40-45 dB noise reduction with 6.8mm laminated acoustic glass. Sufficient to reduce Piccadilly Circus traffic levels to library-quiet levels.
