At DM Windows, we recognise that tradition matters. If you’d like to keep your existing window in place but boost its performance so that it excels at modern benefits, secondary glazing may be your best option. By adding an additional window pane, you are promised greater thermal efficiency, cheaper energy bills, superior soundproofing, preserved aesthetics, stronger security, and a lower-priced installation.
Our secondary glazing products come courtesy of Granada, who are specialists in the trade, manufacturing 25,000 secondary glazing frames each year.
Secondary glazing can be installed on any window style, from casement windows to sliding sash to bow windows. At DM Windows, we possess years of industry experience as installers, and pride ourselves on our exceptional customer service, quality installations, and competitive pricing. When you choose us for your secondary glazing needs, you can rest assured that you’re in safe and reliable hands.
Book a free appointment today!Perhaps the most notable perk of secondary glazing is that it doesn’t require a total upheaval of your window unit. By simply adding a pane, you retain your window’s character and traditional appearance.
This is particularly effective for single glazed windows that have fallen short when it comes to the expectations of modern homes – meaning it’s particularly beneficial for period properties, older cottages, homes in noisy neighbourhoods, or perhaps heritage areas where it’s non-negotiable to retain a traditional aesthetic that blends into the rest.
Enquire Today!Compared to replacing your window unit with either double glazing or triple glazing, opting for new secondary glazing is more affordable.
Secondary glazing installations from DM Windows aim to cause minimal disruption to your home life, and we ensure no mess is made.
Secondary glazing creates a dead air space between your existing windows and the new panes – this acts like a thermal insulator, significantly reducing heat loss or transfer.
As a result of this improved energy efficiency, you’ll be less reliant on your appliances to generate the heat. This means that radiators, electric heaters, fans, and cooling systems will have less of an impact on your bills.
Simply put, two panes of glass are more secure than one. Your home will have a higher degree of protection against potential intruders, helping with your peace of mind.
Whether you have architectural restrictions due to conservation areas or a listed building, limitations on rented properties, or sentimental reasons to leave the existing windows in place, secondary glazing eliminates the need to replace the entire original window structure.
Secondary glazing is also a reversible modification, so you can easily remove it should you wish.
Contact UsAt DM Windows, the secondary glazing we install is manufactured by Granada, industry experts in the field that specialise in the product. Their range of bespoke secondary glazing is made to measure, featuring a strong, slim, and unobtrusive aluminium profile.
Their products offer the most effective sound insulation, effectively reducing noise by up to 80% whilst achieving 10% more thermal insulation than double glazing.
They work to make the secondary glazing barely noticeable, unless you’re specifically looking to identify it. The frames are available in a near endless array of RAL colours.

The exact cost of your secondary glazing solution will depend on several factors, including the style of window and it's size. For example, the cost of secondary glazing on a vertical sliding window may differ to a casement window. Secondary glazing is cheaper than installing new double or triple glazing, but still leads to lower heating bills.
In most cases, planning permission is not required for secondary glazing. However, it's always best to get in touch with our team if you're unsure.
Secondary glazing is recommended for conservation areas and heritage properties, as the aesthetics of the window frame and glazing remain the same.
Yes, secondary glazing can lead to less condensation, another added benefit alongside others like noise reduction and heat retention. The cold surface on single panes can lead to moisture in the air condensing on the colder glass, but secondary glazing creates an additional air gap, increasing the overall insulation and warming the inner surface of the window.
A quick and quality installation. They matched a new UPVC window to our existing wooden windows and you can’t tell the difference from the outside!
