The air cavity plays a vital role when reducing noise levels or increasing thermal efficiency. (We advise a different air cavity based upon the issue you are trying to cure.)Sound – We advise an air cavity of between 150mm to 200mm. This type of installation is referred to as reveal fix. The secondary glazing unit is installed within the window reveal and can reduce noise levels by up to 80% (54 dB).

As secondary glazing can’t be opened from the outside, it adds an extra barrier to forced entry. If an intruder forces or breaks the glass of your primary windows, they will have to try and force the secondary glazing to gain access to your property.Secondary glazing is a popular choice for homeowners who live in a conservation area or Grade I and Grade II listed buildings. Secondary glazing can be installed without planning permission and prevent the issues old windows have which can’t be changed. Historic England recommends the installation of secondary glazing as it does not change the original fabric of the building.For homeowners that can change their original timber windows but don’t want to lose the character of their property, secondary glazing which is discreet in style and design is an option which is often specified. All of Granada glazing’s products are manufactured and supplied with a timber subframe (please note: insert panels are not supplied with a subframe). As standard, the wooden subframe and aluminium window frame are pre-drilled and countersunk for ease of installation. The hardwood subframe which surrounds the secondary glazing unit increases the rigidity of the whole window, aiding installation.As aluminium is a great heat conductor, the wooden subframe acts as a thermal barrier which prevents cold bridging from the fabric of the building onto the aluminium. In turn, this can help reduce condensation, as the temperature of the building fabric does not cool the temperature of the aluminium frame and glass.As standard, (on most products) we supply aluminium secondary glazing with a subframe, pre-drilled and countersunk. As we manufacture in-house, we can provide secondary glazing to your specification. Please advise at the point of quotation if you do not require a subframe or pre-drilled units.

Secondary Glazed Windows give an extra barrier between your home and outside world helping to keep noise at bay. Relax throughout the year in peace after Secondary Glazing installation. Sound – If you live on a noisy street where noise from passing traffic and trains is causing a nuisance secondary glazing will help. Granada advises the installation of 6.8mm acoustic glass with the secondary glazed units installed with an air cavity of 150mm to 200mm glass to glass. This installation type is referred to as reveal fix. The slimline and discreet secondary glazing is installed within the window cavity, enhancing the acoustic performance. Correctly specified and installed, secondary glazing will acoustically outperform all other types of glazing. It is not uncommon to see secondary glazing where double or triple glazing is installed. To achieve up to an 80% acoustic performance, Granada advise the specification of either 6.4mm, 6.8mm or 8.8mm clear acoustic glass and an air cavity, no less than 150mm – 200mm glass to glass.The key to reducing noise levels is to break up the sound waves that pass through the glazed units. The installation of secondary glazing adds an extra barrier, and air insulation prevents noise transference. By selecting the correct glass, and a secondary glazed unit that is expertly manufactured with tight seals and no visible gaps, you will hear a substantial decrease in noise levels.Acoustic reverberation is when multiple panes of glass vibrate at the same time. This can increase noise levels and is often a result of having the same thickness of glass within your primary and secondary windows. We advise the installation of different thickness in the glass, which will help block noise of varying frequencies and help prevent acoustic reverberation.It is important that the secondary glazed units are correctly installed and no gaps are visible between the fabric of the building and the wooden subframe provided. This is why Granada work with the best tradesmen within the UK and often provide detailed training on how to install our products.Reports indicate that a passing diesel bus often creates 85dB of noise. Correctly installed, Granada’s secondary glazing can reduce noise levels by 54 dB. A reduction of 54 dB will reduce the noise level to 31 dB, which is the equivalent of a whisper.Please speak with us directly where our technical sales team will be able to recommend a product and glass type suitable to rectify your problem. Often customers over-specify glass types which increase the cost of the secondary glazing. Our sales team can offer a solution which will suit most budgets while curing your issues.
