Room by room

Nursery & Children's Room Secondary Glazing

Daytime naps broken by street noise, and a room that runs colder than the rest of the floor is the reason most people fit secondary glazing in this room. A quieter, more thermally stable room without a heater running all day. We cover South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and the surrounding towns.

What makes this room different

Small rooms swing in temperature faster than large ones, so the thermal benefit of sealing the window is more noticeable in a nursery than anywhere else in the house.

Safety glazing to Part K is applied automatically to any pane within 800 mm of floor level, and we laminate rather than simply toughen where a cot sits under the window.

Restrictors are factory-fitted rather than retrofitted, so there is no exposed screw fixing for small hands to work at.

Is the glass safe with a toddler in the room? Every pane below 800 mm from finished floor level is toughened or laminated to Part K, and laminated glass holds together rather than shattering if it is struck.

Quotes are written, itemised per opening, and hold for 60 days.

Listed-building drawings and specifications are prepared free with the quote where consent is needed.

Cavity depth does more for acoustic performance than glass thickness, and we design for it first.

We survey with a sound level meter where noise is the driver, so the target is a number rather than an impression.

Common questions

What glass do you use in a child's room?

Laminated safety glass as standard on any low-level pane. It meets Part K and, unlike plain toughened glass, holds together in the frame if it is broken.

Can the window be locked shut?

Yes — key-locking handles and opening restrictors are both available, and we fit restrictors by default in rooms used by young children.

Will it stop the room being stuffy?

The secondary unit opens for ventilation whenever you want it. We would also check that the primary window's trickle vent path is clear at survey.
