Secondary Glazing for Hotels

Road noise is one of the most consistent causes of negative hotel reviews in the UK. Secondary glazing is the most effective solution — and the one with the fastest return on investment for hotel operators.

The Business Case

A single recurring noise complaint on TripAdvisor or Booking.com can depress a hotel’s average rating for years. Road-facing rooms typically generate a disproportionate share of these complaints. Secondary glazing with acoustic specification (6.8mm acoustic laminate, 150mm+ cavity) delivers up to 80% noise reduction — transforming the most complained-about rooms into standard performers.

Minimal Disruption

Secondary glazing installation in hotels is clean, dry, and fast. A typical hotel room is completed in 2–3 hours. Rooms can be returned to service the same day. We offer out-of-hours and weekend installation to minimise revenue impact.

Specification for Hotels

For hotel applications we typically recommend hinged secondary glazing units (SLHU or HDHU) for ease of cleaning by housekeeping staff. Acoustic laminate glass with 150mm+ cavity for maximum noise reduction. Powder-coated frames in the hotel’s chosen colour scheme.

Programme Management

For hotel chains and multi-property programmes, we offer coordinated installation across multiple sites, with scheduling designed to minimise revenue impact and complete the programme efficiently.
