Thermal Glazing Efficiency Solutions

Dramatically improve your home's thermal efficiency with our specialist secondary glazing solutions. Reduce heat loss by up to 70% and cut energy bills while maintaining your existing windows.

Thermal efficiency secondary glazing installation

Common Heat Loss Problems

Understanding where and why your home loses heat through windows

Single Glazing

Single pane windows offer minimal thermal resistance, allowing heat to escape easily

Poor Sealing

Gaps around window frames allow cold air in and warm air out

Thermal Bridging

Metal window frames conduct heat directly from inside to outside

High Energy Bills

Inefficient windows can account for 25% of total heat loss in homes

How Secondary Glazing Improves Thermal Efficiency

The science behind secondary glazing's thermal performance benefits

Insulating Air Gap

Creates a thermal barrier between your existing window and the secondary glazing

Reduced Convection

Minimizes air movement and heat transfer through convection currents

Improved U-Values

Significantly reduces the U-value (heat transfer coefficient) of your windows

Draught Elimination

Seals gaps and prevents cold air infiltration around window frames

Annual Savings Example
Based on a typical 3-bedroom London property

Before Secondary Glazing:

  • • Annual heating bill: £2,400
  • • Heat loss through windows: 25%
  • • Window-related heating cost: £600
  • • Carbon emissions: 4.2 tonnes CO₂

After Secondary Glazing:

  • • Annual heating bill: £1,980
  • • Heat loss reduction: 70%
  • • Annual savings: £420
  • • Carbon reduction: 1.2 tonnes CO₂
