Can you open secondary glazing?

In short, yes. Secondary glazing is usually fitted with horizontal or vertical sliders allowing it to be opened.  The secondary glazing we install at your home or business is designed to be easily opened and closed for easy access. This means that if you need to ventilate or clean,  all you’ll have to do is open up the second layer of glass. 

Can you install secondary glazing on a listed building?

In most cases this decision will be accepted by Conservation Officers. This option can be reversed if desired and may not require an application for the building permit process depending on where you live. However, it’s worth exploring what options exist before committing to a construction project or renovation plan with significant upfront costs just to avoid disappointment.
