Secondary glazing for Bow homes

Around Bow you will mostly find Georgian and Victorian terraces, post-war estates and new-build flats. On listed buildings, secondary glazing is often the preferred way to improve comfort, but check with the conservation officer as listed building consent may still be needed.

Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation. In modern homes with sound double glazing, secondary glazing is mainly worthwhile for noise, particularly in bedrooms facing main roads, railways or flight paths.

Noise is the main issue for many homes here. Bow Road, the Bow Flyover and the A12 carry heavy traffic, so acoustic glazing or secondary glazing is worth considering for rooms on those sides. From our Edmonton factory we are about 5.6 miles away, which keeps surveys and fitting days simple.

Secondary glazing is a discreet second window fitted on the inside of your existing windows, leaving the originals untouched. It suits listed buildings, conservation areas, flats where external windows cannot be changed, and anyone wanting to cut noise and draughts without replacing period windows.

  • Reduces draughts and outside noise
  • Suitable where replacement is restricted
  • Panels open or lift out for cleaning

Questions from Bow

Do I need planning permission for secondary glazing in Bow?

Tredegar Square and several other parts of Bow are conservation areas under Tower Hamlets Council, so we confirm what is allowed before recommending window styles. Secondary glazing is fitted internally, so it does not usually need planning permission or Building Regulations approval, but listed buildings may need listed building consent first.

How soon can you fit secondary glazing in Bow?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.6 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.

Can I still open my windows with secondary glazing fitted?

Yes. Secondary glazing can be made as sliding, hinged or lift-out panels, so you can open both the secondary unit and the original window for ventilation and cleaning. Fixed panels are also possible for windows you never need to open.

Can I see samples before I decide?

Yes. Our showroom is at Unit G, 1 Anthony Way, London N18 3QT (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm), about 5.6 miles from Bow. We can also bring samples to your home in Bow at the free survey.
