Arctic Glaze’s Bespoke Secondary Glazing Enhances Acoustic Performance for a Modern Family Home in Wigan

Homeowners with modern properties are taking advantage of the unique benefits provided by installing slimline Secondary Glazing. Alongside delivering exceptional thermal performance, Arctic Glaze’s range of bespoke Secondary Glazing enhances acoustic insulation, where in most cases will decrease noise levels by as much as 80%.

We recently installed our range of bespoke Secondary Glazing with 6.4 acoustic laminated glass within a modern property that features double glazing. Situated next to a busy main road, the homeowners found it challenging to reduce noise entering through their primary windows. As a result, Arctic Glaze designed and installed Three Pane Horizontal Sliders to solve the current noise issues.

Horizontal sliders are often installed within modern properties as they match the sightlines of UPVc casement windows. The glazed panels slide on durable brass rollers and include integrated locking hardware to enhance home security. To deliver optimum acoustic performance, the slimline Secondary Glazing system was installed 170mm away from the primary window. This reveal fix installation creates an insulating air cavity which substantially increases acoustic performance. Additionally, the Secondary Glazing installation will have a positive impact on thermal insulation. By adding an additional barrier, Secondary Glazing will help prevent cold draughts and reduce heat loss, resulting in lower heating costs. Arctic Glaze’s range of durable Secondary Glazing is available in many shapes, styles and colours. The glazing systems are designed and manufactured to meet the size specification of your primary windows and window reveal.

“Historically, homeowners believed that Secondary Glazing was only used within period properties. As roads get busier and new homes are built near dual carriageways and motorways, these perceptions have changed. Secondary Glazing is a fantastic addition to all homes, old and new. The slimline frames can be designed to match all types of windows while providing an unobtrusive and discreet aesthetic.”
