Here at Abbey Aluminium, we offer secondary glazing for your property. Secondary glazing is a cost effective alternative to single glazing, but you might be wondering what it is. This article will explain all the benefits it offers for your property.
Secondary glazing is very simple and easy to install. It is an additional glazing pane fitted on an already existing pane. It is an attractive property to homeowners because if your home suffers from draughts or mould spots due to bad weather conditions, secondary glazing will make it warmer and safer for you and your family. It is also suitable for homes that don’t have high levels of energy efficiency. Furthermore, secondary glazing is also suitable if you live in a listed building or conservational area where double glazing is not allowed.
To improve your home’s energy efficiency, installing secondary glazing in your home will not affect its appearance. What’s more, it will give your home outstanding heat retention because the additional pane will perform the same way as double glazing. This will trap natural heat into your home and leave cold air outside. This is ideal because it will help save you money on your energy bills in the long term, keeping your home warmer in the cold winter months.
Keeping warm in your home is a vital necessity, especially during the winter when energy bills are rising. Our secondary glazing panes will ensure that you don’t need to use the thermostat because it reduces heat loss. When you install secondary glazing in your home, it regulates the temperature easily and ensures it is warm and comfortable all year round.
Another benefit of secondary glazing is that it lets natural flooding straight into your home. By replicating double glazing, the additional pane increases the value of your traditional home, giving it more privacy. Secondary glazing will give you complete peace of mind if you live in a busy area. It will reduce loud sounds to a whisper.
Moreover, secondary glazing also offers enhanced security levels for your home. For instance, if you live in a multi storey building, the secondary glazing we offer is made from inherently strong glass, which will ward off intruders and keep your home safe for longer.
As previously mentioned, secondary glazing will also increase your property’s market value. With low U Values and offering slim sightlines, you will be able to enjoy outstanding views of your property. And, it won’t clash with your home’s traditional design so that you can enjoy it for much longer. It is designed to look stunning because it blends seamlessly into your home. We understand every homeowner is unique, so they will have the choice of what secondary glazing they want to install. We offer a superb selection of colours and finishes for you to choose from. But that’s not all, because our friendly team of installers can also tailor the secondary glazing to your needs, as we believe you should get a product you can be proud of.
Another benefit of your secondary glazing is that it is weather resistant. It’s fitted tightly around the frame, so water won’t be able to enter your home. In addition to this, the secondary glazing will be able to stand firm against wind and rain. It is made from tough glass creating a robust thermal barrier. Your home will be warm, safe, and dry in the long term.
At Abbey, we understand that security is one of the most important features of your home. The glazing creates a secondary layer to your home, and because it is fitted tightly in the frame, it’s ideal if you have children because it will keep their little fingers safe. Our secondary glazing is made with utmost care resulting in fewer accidents. This has the same effect on pets, too, because their small paws will be kept safe and won’t get trapped either.
