Secondary Glazing
Secondary glazing is a slim, discreet panel added to the inside of your existing window, creating an extra layer without removing or altering the original frame. It’s a practical solution for improving noise insulation—especially useful in busy urban areas—and helps keep heat in during colder months. It’s often used in listed buildings or homes in conservation areas where changing the original windows isn’t allowed, offering better performance while preserving the property’s character.
From a sound insulation perspective, secondary glazing offers the most effective levels of noise reduction on today’s market, significantly outperforming all other glass solutions. Our bespoke secondary glazing is manufactured using state-of-the-art machinery to lock-in a tightly sealed frame which reduces noise levels by up to a whopping 80%.
If security is your priority, secondary glazing offers a unique, additional deterrent to any would-be intruders. Unlike traditional windows, secondary glazing is incredibly difficult to open from the outside and creates a further layer of defence against forced entry. Our frames are made from only the most durable, high quality aluminium and are securely fixed to resist forcing.
Thermal Insulation
If draughty windows are of bigger concern for your property, secondary glazing adds an extra layer of defence to guard your home against heat loss. The small gap between your existing window and the secondary unit effectively acts as an insulator, creating a separate layer of air between the two which can reduce heat loss byup to 65%.
The sleek, modern design of our secondary glazing systems ensures that you’re able to enjoy all the acoustic, thermal and security benefits, without having to compromise on style.
Each of our six unique product types are available as part of either our Classic or Enhanced range. With each range offering slim sightlines, easy installation and exceptional thermal and acoustic performance, you’ll be truly spoilt for choice.
Classic
Our tried and trusted range, Classic products are able to accommodate 4mm glazing and come fully equipped with slimline, durable frames that allows for exceptional style, functionality and performance. The Classic range is what put Granada on the map, keeping homes quiet, warm and secure for over 35 years.
Enhanced
Everything you’ve come to expect from Granada products, but with ultra-strong aluminium frames that support up to 10.8mm glass for enhanced noise reduction and thermal insulation. This improvement in performance comes at no expense of style though, as our enhanced frames are super-sleek for superior, unobtrusive aesthetics.
