Our Fixed secondary glazing units are the most inexpensive and easy to fit style of secondary glazing we offer. An effective method of reducing noise and heat loss, and considered to be the most easily reversible change. It has pre-drilled countersunk holes and is very popular in conservation areas, especially in leasehold properties where changing the existing windows maybe uneconomical or an impossibility.
Fixed secondary glazing is part of our economy system and is the slimmest style of secondary glazing we offer, at just 20mm wide. The wool pile on the back of the frame helps create a good seal between the existing window, preventing draughts and blocking out sound.
They have no opening mechanism, no subframe and is simply face fixed directly onto the existing windows. This style of secondary glazing will provide no access to the prime window.
