Listed Building Windows

Listed Buildings and Period Properties help sustain the heritage of our villages, towns and cities. It is vital that we protect these listed buildings and period properties for future generations to enjoy and appreciate. Unfortunately, the protection of this heritage comes at a price, particularly in terms of up-keep and running costs. Heat loss, draughts, and noise all contribute to these ever-rising expenses the largest culprit being single glazed windows. Rather than fitting unsightly uPVC double glazed windows in a listed building, Clear View can offer secondary glazing which compliments the existing authentic primary window.

The original timber used in the window will be far superior to anything available today and being original helps maintain the character of your property. A newly installed window in uPVC may be more practical in term of maintenance but is simply not appropriate for period properties and could possibly detract from the value of the property. Furthermore if the property is a listed building, or is in a conservation area, double-glazed primary window replacement may not be an option due to building and conservation regulations. In addition whilst replacing the primary window may be possible, preserving the glass may not.

At Clear View our mission is simple, to provide the right solution at the right price. This is where our Secondary Glazing Systems come in.

Our products are leaders in their field; they are custom made to fit each specific window with options available to accommodate almost all design and feature aspects. Which is why our systems have been installed in buildings such as St. Pauls Cathedral and other notable heritage sites across the country.

We would always recommend consulting with your local conservation officer or department prior to undertaking property development work especially where listed buildings are concerned. Some useful information is contained in the Building Regulations document which can be found on our customer services page.

The advantages of Secondary Glazing can easily be summarised as follows: -

· Approved for Grade I & II listed buildings

· Significantly Improves Heat Retention

· Significantly Reduces Intrusive Noise

· Improves security to the property

· Reduces areas effected by drafts & condensation

· Significant contributing factor to reduce heating bills, thereby offering a self-financing element to their installation.

· A genuine positive impact on the environment by improved heat retention. This minimises the usage of electricity and gas and thereby reduces greenhouse gases.

· Maintains the character of the property and neighbourhood. They are unobtrusive & complimentary both internally and externally.

· Quick and easy to install either by DIY enthusiasts or by one of our installation teams.

· No post installation decorative work required. Often a missed cost associated with primary window replacement.

· Design, Manufacture and installation can be available within as little as two weeks from order.

· All work and products are fully insured and backed by a 5-year Guarantee.

We are not aware of any other single system solution, which can offer all of the above at an extremely cost effective price.
