Secondary Glazing in Meltham, Huddersfield
Most of the Meltham housing stock is mill-town stone terraces with stone-lintelled sashes and casements. It isn't formally protected but the era of the stock makes replacement double glazing awkward and expensive. A room-side secondary system is the standard answer.
What Meltham homes typically need
Moor-edge mill town below Wessenden Head.
Typical window: stone-lintelled sashes and casements.
Most common brief: exposure, driving rain and cold stone reveals.
Meltham isn't formally protected, so we can spec on performance alone — Low-E soft-coat glass and 6.4 mm laminated as standard.

Common questions
How is the quote calculated?
We survey and template every opening on site, then quote in writing per opening — no per-square-metre pricing that hides oversize charges.
Is there a warranty?
Yes — 10 years on the manufacture and installation, and a manufacturer's warranty on the glass units.
Can I still open the original window?
Yes — every sliding, hinged and lift-out unit is designed to move clear so you can operate the primary window behind it.
Can Low-E glass be combined with acoustic laminated?
Yes — most heavy specifications combine both, so you get acoustic gain and thermal gain in the same install.
What U-value can secondary glazing achieve?
As low as 1.868 W/m²K with Low-E soft-coat glass and a 100 mm cavity — comfortably meeting current retrofit building-regs targets.
