Secondary Glazing in Stannington, Sheffield
Most of the Stannington housing stock is stone cottage core plus modern estates with stone mullions and later 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.

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.
