Secondary Glazing SpecialistsEnhancing Comfort and Reducing Noise in a Grade II Listed Property
Challenges: Homeowner’s Experience
When we moved into our Grade II listed home in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, we were excited by the character and history of the property, but soon realised there were several significant challenges to address.
The most pressing issue was excessive noise, particularly on Monday mornings when the sound of bins being emptied would wake everyone up. The single-glazed sash windows offered little protection against these external disturbances.
In addition, we faced constant condensation on our windows every morning, requiring us to wipe down each pane. This was concerning due to the potential long-term damage it could cause.
Lastly, despite having radiators and underfloor heating, the house remained uncomfortably cold and draughty, especially in the downstairs rooms.
Benefits: How Vertical Sliders Transformed Our Home
After installing Clearview’s vertical sliding secondary glazing, the difference was immediate:
✅ Significant Noise Reduction – External noise, including early morning disturbances, was dramatically reduced, allowing us to enjoy a quieter, more peaceful home.
✅ Reduced Condensation – No more wiping down windows every morning. The secondary glazing provided a barrier that reduced moisture build-up.
✅ Warmer Home – The insulation helped retain heat, reducing draughts and maintaining a comfortable temperature.
✅ Lower Energy Bills – Improved thermal efficiency meant we didn’t have to use heating as much, leading to noticeable savings.
✅ Seamless Aesthetic – The slimline design of the secondary glazing complemented our period windows without altering their appearance.
✅ Easy Access & Maintenance – With vertical sliders, we could move them up and down effortlessly, making it easy to clean and access our original windows.

Result: A Transformed Home
Initially, we installed secondary glazing windows at the front of the house to test its impact. The results were so impressive that we decided to extend it to the back of the property. The difference in warmth and quiet has not only made our home significantly more comfortable and energy efficient but also allowed us to preserve the character of our home.
