Secondary Glazing creates a quiet office environment
We were approached to assist in designing and installing slimline secondary glazing to minimise noise entering through the single glazed aluminium primary windows.
Slimline Secondary Glazing designed and manufactured by Arctic Glaze can reduce noise entering your property by up to 80% which is the equivalent of 54 decibels.
Many homeowners and building owners are now turning to Secondary Glazing as it can substantially reduce noise entering their property and provides additional thermal insulation. The addition of Secondary Glazing can often reduce noise levels by as much as 80%, it is designed to provide enhanced acoustic insulation and to combat the low-frequency rumblings from passing or idling vehicles.
Noise from busy roads and railway lines can be an unwanted distraction and nuisance, the addition of Secondary Glazing is a perfect solution to prevent noise from entering your property. Noise from vehicles and other sources can be problematic and challenging to reduce, a large proportion of the noise we hear is through our existing windows. To put noise levels into perspective, a diesel bus at a distance of 5 metres will emit up to 89 decibels, modern double and triple glazing can prevent noise entering your home however, in most cases this can only be up to 36 decibels.
To provide optimum acoustic performance we often recommend that the Secondary Glazing system is installed 150mm away from your primary window. This installation method will create an insulating air cavity between the primary window and Secondary Glazed system. For buildings that are subject to a large amount of noise or with slim window reveals, we advise installing acoustic laminated glass witch is designed to provide enhanced acoustic insulation by minimising low frequency noise from entering your home.

EXCELLENT Based on 112 reviews Hamzah Makda02/01/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted many companies to get secondary glazing installed due to noise pollution at my home, and unfortunately I didn't receive a response apart from Arctic Glazing. Even when Arctic Glazing were busy with a big project, they managed to find the time to accommodate for 3 secondary glazing windows. Everything from punctuality and professionalism of the measurements, installation and communication was spot on. Everyone was so polite including the installers and the owners who I was emailing. They also answered every question I had. Life has been more peaceful, I live on a busy road and the noise has been significantly dampened, mine were fitted over old 2000s double glazing which leak a lot of noise and the 10.8 mm secondary glazing has certainly made a difference. I'm so happy that I contacted Arctic Glazing, and I know who to contact for my window needs in the future. L Roberts21/12/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish arctic glaze were brilliant, wholeheartedly recommend. The fitting day was so smooth, the guys were super quick, they left no mess and the windows look absolutely brilliant. Really pleased, thank you to Jonathan and the team. Lisa Khan18/12/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service, quick fitting! Windows are great and saving on heating costs as promised! Thank you Ant pee03/12/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From my first contact with Louisa this process could not have been easier. I met Jonathan when he came to survey my windows. Everything I needed to know was explained clearly. The installation was clean and simple. No mess. Very professional and Jonathan and Bob are genuinely likeable people. My issues were with traffic noise. I was hoping secondary glazing would help with that. Four days in and the results are way beyond what I was hoping to achieve. I’m amazed at the difference secondary glazing has made. This is money well spent. I have no hesitation in recommending Artic Glaze. Thank you Artic Glaze I’m really impressed. Chris Auton08/11/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very happy with my secondary glazing. The team from Arctic Glaze were friendly, efficient, and the fitting was to a very high standard. Highly recommended. leah yates07/11/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly couldn’t recommend these guys enough! Was initially a little worried as to what the secondary glazing would look like as we have old victorian windows, but they have done an amazing job fitting them and they even brighten up the room. They were really professional, turning up on time and tidied up after themselves leaving everything spotless. Jonathan went above and beyond and even put up some new blinds we’d been putting off and fixed another set of blinds which he really didn’t have to do! If you have single glazing or struggle with condensation, I would 100% recommend getting in touch, the house feels warmer already hours after having them installed, thank you !!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew Corbett-Jones07/11/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jonathan, Louisa and the team at Arctic provided a seamless and first-rate service. The ordering and installation process could not have been more straightforward. We are delighted with the product which has significantly reduced noise and made our place much warmer. The windows are very good quality and blend well with and complement our original windows. Jonathan and his team have done a superb job of fitting the frames and tying in the woodwork and picture rails which they carefully adapted to fit beautifully against the new frames. We would highly recommend their service if you are considering secondary glazing for your home. Cheryl Eaton06/11/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you ( Jon and Mr Bob) For my secondary glaze it's brilliant. And thank you for being understanding. I couldn't be more happy with this amazing company, ( Jon and Mr Bob) so understanding, amazing gentlemen, as a single mum to an autistic son and a daughter to a mum who has terminal lung cancer living under one roof, these gentlemen managed to work around them, they asked when they first arrived where they should start first, so I explained about my son and mum so they left their rooms for last as my mum can't walk far, it all went so smoothly, ( no stress, just laughter ) when they where here,, I definitely recommend these gentlemen for your secondary glazing.

From the 1st phone call to actual fit of windows I felt completely at ease with this company. So friendly and very professional. Respectful of property and mindful on putting back curtains and blinds to how you want/had them. Nothing to clean up after fit all done for me, by Jonathan and Bob.
