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.
Secondary Glazing preserves the character and charm of period properties while reducing heat loss, increasing acoustic insulation and enhancing security.
Secondary Glazing for listed properties is designed to retain the character and charm of period properties whilst having a positive impact on both thermal and acoustic insulation. Modern Secondary Glazing is slimline by nature and manufactured to be durable, it complements the style and function of all period windows. Secondary Glazing can be powder coated in over 200 RAL colours and is available in a gloss, satin or a matt finish. Historic England often recommends the installation of Secondary Double Glazing as it doesn’t alter or change the original fabric of the building, Secondary Glazing maintains the building’s historic and period aesthetics.
Our range of discreet Secondary Glazing is an ideal solution for properties that are prohibited from changing or altering their primary windows, it is designed to reduce heat loss, block noise and increase security. Available in a wide range of styles, our slimline frames match the style and function of period windows and provide an unobtrusive appearance from the exterior of the building.

Balanced Vertical Sliding Secondary Glazing is designed to complement traditional box sash windows, the glazed panels open vertically and are supported by durable spiral balances. Their slimline aluminium frames can be installed within the window reveal or to the face of the traditional box sash window.
Vertical Sliding Secondary Glazing is commonly installed to provide enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation for period properties. To provide access to the rear of the panel, we can design and install our Tilt-In variant where the glazed panels tilt into the room, this offers full access to your primary window for cleaning and maintenance.
Traditional timber casement windows are often treated with Horizontal Sliding Secondary Glazing, the glazed panels slide on a twin-track system and are available with 2- 5 individual panels. This slimline Secondary Glazing system is designed to provide enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation while delivering increased security. When in a closed position the glazed panels securely lock into place and are opened with a push-press button.
The glazed panels are supported by durable brass rollers where each panel can be lifted out of the aluminium outer frame, this gives access to the primary window for maintenance and allows you to clean the rear of the Secondary Glazed panel.

We are so pleased, home is much warmer. We will recommend "" Artic glazing company "without hesitation to everyone in need of this service. Also they cleaned up so well, taking all the remaining packaging ,etc:, with them for recycling. Thank you Artic Glazing ,Jonathan and Bob .it was a pleasure to meet you. Our regards to Louise. Barbara and Barry Parsons.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.James Sykes07/09/2024Initially finding them on a Google search, I simply cannot fault the service and product from Arctic Glaze. We have struggled for sixteen years to decide what to do with our Edwardian bay windows including stained glass panels in our Newcastle home - replace with wood (too expensive and actually look a bit bland) or with plastic (lose any tradition or character). We now have the best of both worlds - our beautiful windows fully intact, but the secondary glazing meaning we shouldn't freeze through the winter months. And the way Jonathan has fitted them - a piece of absolute craftsmanship and attention to detail, integrated into the existing frames in a way we couldn't have imagined or dared hope for. Jonathan and Louisa have been patience personified - our decision took months of to and fro emails, and no question was unanswered or swerved. And Jonathan was a pleasure to have in the house when fitting, explaining everything, making sure I knew what was happening and when, and so respectful of leaving the house around him better than when he arrived. We are based in Newcastle many miles from their base, so we could quite easily have been filed in the "too hard" pile many months ago. This is my first - and probably last - Google review which is testament to how happy we are. Simply brilliant.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Alan Smith21/08/2024Thanks to Jonathan and Louisa. We bought 8 secondary glazing windows ( we thought two of them may be impossible to do, but not for Jonathan). Surveying, quoting, planning to final installation was flawless. The quality of the materials are top notch, with a perfect colour match. Rooms are already much quieter and I have high expectations of the special Pilkington thermal glass this winter. Very tidy afterwards.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Michael Watkinson13/07/2024We live in a grade 2 listed house with lovely but draughty original sash windows. We’re really pleased with our new secondary glazing: it provides great insulation, can be opened and closed really smoothly and easily, and because the profile is so slender it’s almost unnoticeable. Jonathan explained the different options clearly and showed us models of each type of fitting so we could make an informed choice; the installation was very straightforward; and we really appreciated his care, honesty and good humour at every stage of the process. We would thoroughly recommend this company.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Emma Pott10/06/2024Exceptional customer service, quality and communication. We needed to get secondary glazing installed across 4 large bay windows facing a busy road including underneath shutters and you wouldn't know they were there. They look fantastic and the noise reduction has been significant. Jonathan and Louisa were highly profressional and they care deeply about the customer and take pride in the work they do.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Elizabeth Nicol01/06/2024Adding to the 5* reviews for Arctic Glaze. We’ve had a fantastic experience with them from start to finish. We first got a quote in Jan 23 but then life got in the way. Louisa was incredibly helpful and understanding when I got back in touch in early 24 to kick the process off again. Jonathon is extremely personable and professional. It’s so clear that he is passionate about what he does and takes huge pride in his work. We live in a grade II listed converted chapel and are delighted with the finish. We’ve noticed the noise reduction immediately and for the first time in the 4 years we’ve been here it’s so nice to not be dreading winter! Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Brian Borthwick19/05/2024We live in a grade 2 listed building and have struggled with heat loss and condensation on our windows. Jonathan of Arctic Glazing visited us and advised on what he could do to assist us, we were happy with the quote and the secondary glazing was installed as per their quote and on time. The secondary glazing has already made a noticeable difference in noise reduction from passing traffic and we’ve noticed a marked difference in the warmth in the rooms. The work looks good, we got a great service from Jonathan from start to finish. Highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jason Hendrey05/04/2024A fantastic service from start to finish with Arctic Glaze, both Jonathan and Louisa were very patient with our questions as it was the first time we owned a listed building. The installation went very smoothly and the quality of the workmanship is fantastic, Jonathan even tidied up after himself which is a rarity these days. Overall we are really happy with the decision to appoint Arctic Glaze to secondary glaze 20 windows in our house and whilst we will see the thermal benefits later in the year we are already benefitting acoustically. Thanks Arctic Glaze for a great customer experience !Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.penny Fish19/03/2024Jonathan Mott and his team were excellent. We had secondary glazing placed for 17 grade II listed windows at Eversden Village Hall , Cambridge and the aesthetic outcome is beautiful. They are really well finished and now makes a huge difference in noise and heat saving. From obtaining the quote, then survey and installation they gave excellent customer service and were professional at all times. I would highly recommend Arctic Glazing.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Deacon Linkhorn11/03/2024Very happy I chose to go with Arctic. Jonathan was very helpful in giving me advice about the pros and cons of all the different options, Louisa was always very helpful with any questions and made the whole process really easy. The secondary glazing has made a huge difference in blocking out noise from outside and the installation was very quick only taking an hour or two.
