Secondary Glazing
|
The choice when sound insulation or in conservation area's. Secondary glazing can incorporate
Stadip Silence glass to give high sound reduction levels.
It is made to fit to the inner reveal of the existing window and maintain the original character of the building.
It has excellent draught proofing properties. Installation is quick with the minimum amount of disruption, of particular importance in the work
environment.
It is suitable for Listed buildings, flats, commercial and domestic properties.
| A varied of opening designs including:
- horizontal 2/3/4 pane sliders
- Vertical sliders with non balanced for the smaller sash. Balanced with
counter weight spring balances for the larger sash and counter balanced with tilt facility enables very easy cleaning facility.
- Lift out when
access is not so important.
- Hinged either single or double.
