Premium Secondary Glazing: Quiet, Warm & Secure

Unlock Peace, Comfort, and Security in Your Bristol Home.

Secondary glazing transforms how you live by providing an effective, unobtrusive layer of defence against external noise and cold. At Yate Windows, we are proud to install bespoke aluminium secondary glazing from Granada Glazing, the UK’s largest bespoke secondary glazing manufacturer.

This solution is the ideal alternative to full window replacement, allowing you to retain the unique aesthetics of your existing windows while benefitting from 21st-century performance.

The Three Pillars of Secondary Glazing

Granada’s unique system is purpose-built to address the common issues of older or single-glazed windows, ensuring your home is quiet, warm, and secure.

🤫1. Unrivalled Noise Reduction (Quiet)

Secondary glazing offers the most effective sound insulation on today’s market, significantly outperforming all other glass solutions.

  • Our bespoke units are tightly sealed to reduce noise levels by up to a whopping 80%.
  • It is scientifically proven to reduce noise by up to 54 decibels.
  • Ideal for homes near busy roads, flightpaths, or city centres where external noise is a persistent issue.

🌡️ 2. Superior Thermal Insulation (Warm)

If draughty windows are a concern, secondary glazing adds an extra layer of defence against heat loss.

  • The gap between your existing and secondary unit creates an insulating air layer that can reduce heat loss by up to 65%.
  • This improvement in thermal insulation means you can save up to 10% more energy than you would with traditional double glazing.
  • Protect your home against heat loss and radically reduce your heating costs.

🔒 3. Enhanced Security (Secure)

Secondary glazing provides a unique, additional physical barrier and deterrent to any would-be intruders.

  • The durable, high-quality aluminium frames are securely fixed to resist forcing.
  • The system creates a further layer of defence, making the window incredibly difficult to open from the outside.

Preserving Character: Perfect for Listed Properties

Our bespoke secondary glazing range is the ideal solution for Listed Properties and homes within conservation areas where strict regulations prevent full window replacement.

  • Sleek Design: The ultra-slimline aluminium frames are designed to be unobtrusive and blend seamlessly, ensuring they do not damage the unique aesthetics of the primary window.
  • Customisation is King: No matter the shape and stature of your existing window, we can manufacture custom secondary units to order. We have the facilities to curve and bend our aluminium profile for arched, curved, and circular glass.
  • Colour Choice: Match any existing style with our huge selection of over 200 RAL colours.
