This is for those looking for better insulation. Double-glazed secondary glazing usually costs between £100 and £150 per m².

Factors affecting the price

It is also important to think about installation costs. Depending on the complexity, installation costs can vary. For example, if you want to install an entire new window frame, the difficulty level is a lot higher than if you choose to install acrylic secondary glazing to your existing window.

Size and shape

The larger your window, the higher the cost of secondary glazing. Larger or unusually shaped windows can quickly drive the cost up. At Plasticsheetsshop, you can buy secondary glazing in any shape and size. Moreover, once you add your shape to your shopping basket, you will immediately see the price for your secondary glazing.

Advantages over traditional windows

Secondary glazing can often be installed faster and cheaper than traditional windows. In the long run, secondary glazing can be cheaper due to the savings on your energy bills.

Conclusion

Secondary glazing is a worthwhile investment for both comfort and savings. Costs vary, but with the right choice and considerations, you can definitely get value for money.
