Secondary Glazing SpecialistsHow Secondary Glazing Helped Baby Megan Sleep Through The Night
For many families, a peaceful night’s sleep is a luxury, especially when you live on a busy street with young children who wake up easily. That was an all-too-familiar case for the Phillips family until they discovered the remarkable benefits of secondary glazing.
Now, their two-year-old daughter Megan can sleep soundly… and so can the rest of the household!
The challenges the Phillips faced
Rob and Rebecca Phillips moved into their charming 1930s home in 2009. While they instantly fell in love with its period features and character windows, they were less enthusiastic about the draughts and street noise that came with them.
To make matters worse, the windows had been covered by the previous owners with a thin layer of plastic film, which was intended to be a makeshift solution to improve insulation. However, after enduring two particularly bitter winters with cold air seeping in and little relief from external noise, they knew something had to change.
However, while they knew they needed to update the windows, the pair did not want to install conventional double-glazed windows, as they wanted to retain the external character of the property. Installing modern uPVC frames would have clashed with the home’s original style, and there was also concern that upgrading to double glazing would require the removal of some charming stained-glass panes.
Discovering secondary glazing
Unlike standard window replacements, secondary glazing works alongside your existing windows. This makes it an ideal solution for period properties where aesthetics matter, and planning restrictions may limit what alterations can be made.
Here at Clearview Secondary Glazing, we specialise in fitting secondary glazed windows that offer both acoustic and thermal benefits without altering the original windows or the property’s facade. This solution enabled the Phillips family to retain their stained-glass features while significantly enhancing the home’s warmth and sound insulation.
Rebecca recalled, “We didn’t know a great deal about secondary glazing until we read about Clearview in Sheffield’s Grapevine magazine. What the company offered was perfect for us because we wanted to retain the external character of our home, while keeping heat in, and noise out.”
Not just about keeping warm…
Of course, secondary glazed windows are not just about keeping the warmth in. They can also reduce noise pollution by up to 75%, which would prove essential in helping baby Megan, a notoriously light sleeper, to stop being disturbed by early-morning traffic and passers-by.
“Megan’s room is at the front of our house, and she has always been a light sleeper, so sounds of cars and dustbin lorries were constantly waking her. But since the secondary glazing has been fitted she has slept much better.”
“The fitters were very professional and friendly, everything was done so neatly that we’ve not had to decorate. And straight away we noticed that our rooms were warmer.”
