Enhance Your Home With uPVC Windows
Modern uPVC frames offer a versatile solution for homeowners seeking durability and low maintenance. At West Country Windows, we manufacture frames that provide excellent thermal insulation and security for any property type. For those living in period homes or restricted conservation areas, we also specialise in secondary glazing. This involves installing a slim-line internal window against your existing frames to improve warmth without altering the external character of the building. These units are often paired with sliding patio doors to create a consistent, energy-efficient envelope around your home, ensuring that every room remains comfortable throughout the year.

The Advantages Of Secondary Glazing For Your Home
One of the most significant benefits of this installation is its superior soundproofing capability. Because the secondary pane sits further away from the primary glass than in standard units, it creates an effective acoustic barrier against external noise. West Country Windows provides tailored designs that slide or hinge for effortless operation, ensuring your home remains quiet and thermally efficient.

Why Choose Secondary Glazing For Your uPVC Windows?
Secondary glazing is an ideal choice when the replacement of original windows is prohibited or undesirable. By fitting an additional pane to the internal reveal, you can significantly reduce draughts and heat waste. While it is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement, it also offers a practical way to modernise the performance of a flat or house. The units are designed with functionality in mind; horizontal panes can be lifted out, and vertical sashes can tilt inwards to ensure they are easy to clean. This system allows you to maintain the historic charm of heritage windows while benefiting from the increased insulation provided by an extra layer of glass.
