Secondary Glazing Cost2026 Price Guide
Secondary glazing typically costs between £300 and £2,200 per window depending on the glass specification. This guide breaks down the price per window and for a whole home, and explains exactly what drives the cost.
Cost Per Window
The single biggest factor in your quote is the glass specification. Here is what to budget per window in 2026:
| Specification | Price per window | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (4mm float glass) | £300 – £800 | Thermal comfort and light noise reduction |
| Acoustic (10.8mm laminate) | £600 – £1,200 | Homes near traffic, railways or flight paths |
| Heritage grid-matched | £1,000 – £2,200 | Listed buildings and period sash windows |
Whole-Home Cost
Most homeowners glaze several windows at once. As a guide, here is what a typical project costs by property type:
| Property | Typical windows | Estimated range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bed flat | 4 – 6 windows | £2,500 – £6,000 |
| 2 – 3 bed flat or maisonette | 6 – 10 windows | £5,000 – £12,000 |
| Period townhouse | 12 – 20+ windows | £12,000 – £30,000 |
What Affects the Price?
- Glass specification. Standard float glass is the most affordable; 10.8mm acoustic laminate costs more but delivers the best noise reduction.
- Opening style. Fixed panels are cheapest, while sliding and hinged units cost more for the added mechanism.
- Window size. Larger and bay windows use more material and take longer to fit.
- Heritage detailing. Grid bars matched to original sashes add cost but preserve the look of period and listed buildings.

"Exceptional service from start to finish. The noise reduction in our Kensington townhouse is remarkable — we no longer hear the constant traffic on the high street, even in the front bedrooms."
"Specialists who truly understand listed buildings. They handled our Grade II* property with real expertise and managed the conservation paperwork so we didn't have to worry about a thing."
"Our Georgian sash windows were draughty and freezing every winter. The secondary glazing has transformed the house — warmer rooms, lower heating bills, and the original windows look untouched."
"From survey to installation the team was professional and tidy. The fit is so discreet that visitors don't even notice the secondary glazing is there. Sleep has never been better."
"We live near a busy junction and the difference is night and day. The acoustic glass they recommended cut the noise dramatically. Worth every penny for the peace and quiet."
