Secondary Glazing

Hi Community,

I am looking to get the window in my bedroom secondary glazed, it already has double glazing but it’s not enough to keep the noisy neighbours music at bay.

I never replaced or asked quotes for any kind of windows so i have no idea what the price is for a secondary glazed window.

Anyone could shed some light into the rough estimate of one?
I have not measure the window frame but i would roughly say its 170cm length and 120cm height with a windows ledge at least 6 to 8 inches. The building is not listed so no special conditions are needed.

Many thanks.

    my auntie has two x DG units installed in each window. with a 4 inch gap.
    cost was about 400 quid per wiindow. (for the extra internal unit).
    Get some gorm.
  • Thanks for the reply Ormus,

    That may give me a bit of an insight on how much a secondary glazing window would cost to install, I would assume that it would be cheaper than a double glazing window as there is less of a window to fit, 1 pane of glass rather than 2 and the frame itself is less material.
