Secondary Glazing for Edwardian Properties

Edwardian properties — built roughly between 1901 and 1910 — are characterised by larger windows than their Victorian predecessors, often with two-over-two sash configurations, bay windows, and decorative stained glass fanlights. This makes them particularly exposed to heat loss and noise.

Edwardian Window Types

Edwardian properties commonly feature: standard two-over-two sash windows (the most common type); bay window configurations with angled returns; decorative stained glass or coloured glass fanlights above front doors and in landing windows; leaded lights in casement windows. Each of these window types can be fitted with secondary glazing.

Bay Windows

Edwardian properties frequently have prominent bay windows that are both a source of character and a major route for heat loss. Our bespoke bay window secondary glazing solutions accommodate angled configurations of any angle, providing seamless coverage across all three panels of a bay window while preserving the original windows completely.

Stained Glass and Decorative Windows

Decorative fanlights and stained glass windows in Edwardian properties can be protected by fixed secondary glazing panels fitted in front of the original glazing. This preserves the decorative glass while improving thermal performance and protection from weather damage.

Conservation Areas

Many Edwardian streets are in conservation areas. Secondary glazing is suitable for all conservation area properties as it is installed internally and does not affect the external appearance.
