Factors That

Affect4 Column the Cost

If you’re researching the cost of secondary glazing in Nottingham,

it’s important to understand what factors can influence your final quote.

While many projects fall within the £300–£600 range per window

(including installation), a few key things can raise or lower the cost.

1. Window Size & Shape

Larger windows or unusual shapes like bays, arches, or curved frames typically require more materials and custom fabrication.

A large bay window with secondary glazing in West Bridgford may cost more than a small sash window in Beeston, for example.

2. Type of Glazing

You can choose between: Standard clear glass

(most cost-effective) Acoustic secondary glazing (ideal for homes near busy roads or city centres)

Thermal glass upgrades

for maximum insulation.

If you're in a noisier area like

central Nottingham, investing in soundproof secondary glazing may be worth the added cost.

3. Frame Colour & Finish

We supply secondary glazing in standard white or silver aluminium.

However, custom powder-coated frames in black, grey, or heritage colours may cost extra, especially if you're matching frames in listed buildings around Nottinghamshire.

4. Ease of Access

Windows that are high up, behind conservatories, or in tight spaces can increase labour time.

In homes across Mapperley, Arnold, and Carlton, we sometimes need special ladders or tools for access, which can slightly affect your quote.
