Is Secondary Glazing Right for You?

If you are considering getting double-glazing for your property, there is usually a range of driving factors behind this decision. Perhaps you are struggling with the local noise pollution, or perhaps you want your home to become more energy-efficient.

Also known as a retrofit double-glazing solution, secondary glazing in Perth can help you reap some of the same benefits as double-glazing, without having to pay out a significant sum of money in the process.

Here are the technical elements of a secondary glazing installation from Quash.

We form an air gap of between 70-100mm between your existing and secondary window. This large space between the panels mimics a cushion-effect which when encapsulated between two glass panels of varying thickness; further helps to reduce the noise.
With robust weather seals on each side of the sash, any noise infiltration is significantly reduced.
In most cases, a minimum reduction of at least 50% is attained, which can account for a 10-decibel drop. When compared with other noise reduction solutions, such as low-quality double-glazed units, roller shutters, and heavier/thicker glass; and which can usually only provide a 20% reduction, secondary glazing delivers incomparable results, at a fraction of the cost.

At Quash, we are proud to offer expert secondary glazing solutions that are high-quality, without any compromise on affordability.

How Can Secondary Glazing Help?

#1 Hassle-Free, Fast Installations

Secondary Glazing is quick and easy to install. With the vast majority of windows, it can be installed within the hour. With double-glazing, you need to completely remove the existing window and fit completely new units. This results in higher costs and longer installation time.
At Quash, we will retrofit the secondary glazing internally to your existing window frame. Our ultimate goal is to provide you with a quick installation that causes the least possible disruption to your time.
