Secondary glazing in Brookmans Park

The housing in Brookmans Park is largely 1930s detached and semi-detached houses on large plots. Older cottages with small leaded or timber windows can keep their character with discreet secondary panels, hinged or removable so the originals stay accessible for maintenance.

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. In 1930s bays, secondary glazing can follow each facet of the bay or span across it, so we measure carefully around radiators, sills and curtain tracks.

Larger houses and gardens suit bifold and sliding doors, and conservatory roof replacements are a common request. The village is surrounded by green belt, which matters for bigger extensions though not for like-for-like windows. We are about 10.5 miles from our Edmonton factory, a short drive up the A10 and M25 or through Potters Bar.

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
