Shielding against the heat

Secondary glazing acts as a protective shield against heat transfer by adding an extra layer of insulation to existing windows. The air gap between the original window and the specially manufactured glass in the secondary glazing creates a buffer zone that reduces heat transfer through conduction and convection. This prevents heat loss during colder months and heat gain during warmer periods, improving the overall thermal performance of the building.

Keeping it toasty inside

One of the primary benefits of secondary glazing is its ability to minimise heat loss through windows. As an additional barrier, secondary glazing prevents warm air from escaping and cold air from entering a commercial premises. That means reduced reliance on heating systems, lower energy consumption, and cost savings on heating bills. A more stable indoor temperature gives staff a comfortable work environment right throughout the year.

Reflecting the sun’s heat

Secondary glazing plays a significant role in reducing solar heat gain. When combined with low-emissivity glass coatings or solar control films, it helps to reflect a significant portion of the sun’s heat, preventing it from entering the building. This reduces the need for air conditioning and mechanical cooling systems, resulting in energy savings and a reduced environmental impact.

City Insultation’s secondary glazing expertise brings a range of thermal benefits for both private and public organisations. Our secondary glazing enhances insulation, reduces heat loss and heat gain, improves comfort, and controls condensation. By investing in secondary glazing you can improve energy efficiency and reduce costs, while creating a comfortable and sustainable working environment for employees.
