A homeowner of a period property contacted Arctic Glaze to install bespoke Secondary Glazing to reduce noise entering their home.
Period properties located adjacent busy roads can often find it difficult to minimise noise levels, this wasn’t an exception for this Grade II Listed property in Birmingham. As a result, the homeowner contacted Arctic Glaze to discuss Secondary Glazing and to understand how it can be designed to minimise noise levels. Arctic Glaze recommended the installation of acoustic laminated glass designed to eliminate low-frequency noise emitted by vehicles and traffic.
To match the style and function of the period windows, Arctic Glaze specified the installation of Horizontal Sliding, Lift Out and Hinged Secondary Glazing.

secondary Glazing is manufactured from durable aluminium and is often installed to reduce noise levels and increase thermal insulation. It is designed to provide a discreet aesthetic and suitable to be installed within listed properties and homes situated within conservation areas. Homeowners can often expect to reduce noise levels by as much as 80% and increase thermal insulation by as much as 60%.
"We were delighted to be asked to specify and install bespoke Secondary Glazing to minimise noise for this Birmingham based home. We successfully installed 22 Secondary Glazed windows with acoustic laminated glass in three days. The results were outstanding where the homeowner was pleased with the performance and visual aesthetics."
