Secondary Glazing for Sash Windows Manchester
Secondary glazing for sash windows boosts insulation and cuts noise without changing the beauty and appearance of your property.
Secondary Glazing for Sash Windows for Warmth and Quiet
Traditional sash windows are admired for their style but often fall short in performance. They allow draughts, drive up heating costs, and let outside noise disturb everyday life. For many property owners and facilities managers, replacing them risks losing important heritage features and diminishing the building’s original look.

✔️ Effective draught reduction for warmer interiors
✔️ Noise control for quieter, more comfortable environments
✔️ Improved energy efficiency that lowers running costs
✔️ Careful installation that preserves the original window design
Benefits of Secondary Glazing for Sash Windows
