At Philip Whear Windows & Conservatories, we provide a range of double glazing options for Cornwall homes — including both full double glazed window replacements and discreet secondary glazing, perfect for period and listed properties where replacing the original windows isn’t an option.
Secondary glazing can be fitted neatly and with minimal disruption – our Cornwall window installation page explains our approach and aftercare.
Why Upgrade to Double Glazing or Secondary Glazing?
Boost Energy Efficiency
Modern double glazing significantly reduces heat loss through windows, helping you save on heating bills and keeping your home warmer all year round. Our secondary glazing solutions create an insulating air gap that works in the same way — ideal for preserving the original character of period homes.
Reduce Outside Noise
Our high-performance double glazing and secondary glazing systems are excellent at reducing external noise — perfect if your home is near a busy road, railway, or popular tourist area in Cornwall.
Preserve Original Features
Cornwall has many beautiful period homes and listed buildings where traditional double glazing isn’t permitted. Secondary glazing allows you to retain your original windows while enjoying many of the same benefits as double glazed units.
Minimise Condensation
By improving the thermal performance of your windows, double glazing or secondary glazing helps to reduce condensation and the risk of mould inside your property.
Improve Security
An additional glazing layer provides an extra barrier, making it harder for intruders to access your property.

FAQs
What is double glazing?
Double glazing refers to windows that use two panes of glass separated by a sealed air or gas-filled gap. This provides excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing compared to single glazing.
Can I install double glazing in a listed building?
Full double glazing is often restricted in listed buildings or conservation areas. However, secondary glazing offers a highly effective alternative, delivering many of the benefits of double glazing without altering the appearance of the original windows.
How much does double glazing cost in Cornwall?
Costs vary depending on the size, style, and type of glazing. We offer competitive pricing on all our double glazing and secondary glazing solutions — contact us for a free quote.
Does secondary glazing work as well as double glazing?
Modern secondary glazing can match or even exceed the noise reduction of traditional double glazing, and offers excellent thermal performance too. It is ideal for properties where full replacement windows aren’t an option.
How quickly can you install double or secondary glazing?
Installation times depend on the size and complexity of the project. Secondary glazing is typically quick to fit with minimal disruption.
