Double glazing often isn’t an option if you live in a period or heritage property. However, secondary glazing and flyscreens can provide the benefits you’re looking for without altering the traditional aesthetic of your home.
Here, we share five key benefits of secondary glazing and flyscreens for period and heritage properties.
1. Enhanced insulation
One of the main benefits of secondary glazing is that it enhances insulation, helping you maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. The single glazed windows of period and heritage properties aren’t typically efficient when it comes to keeping cold air out and warm air in, and secondary glazing can remedy this without changing the charming appearance of your home.
Increasing the energy efficiency of your property through the installation of secondary glazing can reduce your heating bills, making it a worthwhile investment.
2. Reduces noise pollution
An issue often found by those living in period and heritage properties is that single glazed windows are not particularly efficient at blocking out outside noise. This may not be a problem if you live on a quiet country lane, but it can have an impact on those with homes in a bustling town or along a road.
Secondary glazing forms an additional barrier between your rooms and the outside world, helping to reduce noise pollution, including the sound of traffic. This can make your home more peaceful without changing the aesthetic of your windows.
3. Unrivalled versatility
Secondary glazing is extremely versatile which is another reason why it’s such a great option for period and heritage properties. Whether you live in a listed building that cannot be altered due to regulations or simply want to keep the aesthetic of your home as close to the original as possible, the versatility of secondary glazing means it can work for you.
At Salisbury Glass, we can install a huge range of secondary glazing options, from casement windows and vertical sliding sashes to those suitable for commercial buildings and even doors, ensuring there’s an option for everyone.
4. Keeps out insects
Keeping insects out of your home when you want to throw your windows open on warm days can be a challenge, especially when you live in a listed building or want to maintain the traditional look of your property. Flyscreens are the perfect antidote to this issue, as they’re subtle in design, let air flow freely, and will keep those pesky bugs outside.
At Salisbury Glass, we manufacture a secondary glazing option with integrated fly mesh, so you can enjoy the benefits that both options provide.
5. Impressively durable
The secondary glazing and flyscreen options we manufacture and install at Salisbury Glass have been created with durability in mind. Having these additions to your home is an important decision, and we want to ensure you feel the benefits for years to come.
