ABOUT US ABOUT SECONDARY GLAZING OUR PRODUCTS TECHNICAL SUPPORT BLOGS & EVENTS CONTACT US Heritage and Listed Buildings Today's performance for yesterday's buildings Selectaglaze is particularly passionate about the importance of retaining the finest examples of our architectural heritage through the listing process. But preserving a past does require sensitive interventions that enable the buildings to meet the changing needs of owners and ensure a sustainable future. How does secondary glazing help windows in heritage and Listed buildings? Windows generally have thermally inefficient single glazing and draughty, ill-fitting frames that provide little security and poor acoustic performance. With the thoughtful retrofitting of discreet secondary glazing, all these performance elements can be improved. Can secondary glazing be used in Listed and historic buildings? The various national heritage bodies have responsibility for managing the historic environment, so will advise local planning authorities and government departments on development proposals that can significantly affect Listed buildings or conservation areas. In most cases secondary glazing is fully accepted by Conservation Officers as a reversible adaptation i.e it can be removed, if required, at a later date with almost no impact on the original fabric of the building apart from repair of fixing holes and some redecoration. When designed carefully the original windows remain unaltered and aesthetically uncompromised. It is often asked if secondary glazing will help with condensation and various other questions. VISIT THE FAQ PAGE TO FIND OUT MORE Do I need Listed Building Consent for secondary glazing? Listed Building Consent is required for any alterations that would affect an area of historic significance and it is a criminal offence to carry out these works without consent. If you wish to carry out any work on a Listed building you will require Listed Building Consent through your local authority. If the building is in a conservation area, then advice should be obtained from a Conservation Officer at your local planning authority.
