Secondary Glazing for Listed Buildings and Wooden Sash Windows

Discover the Benefits of Gecko Panes for Sash and Other Timber Windows in Listed Buildings

At Gecko Glazing, we recognise the challenges of preserving the aesthetic and structural integrity of listed buildings while enhancing their energy efficiency and comfort. Our Gecko Panes have been designed specifically to provide an ideal solution for sash and other timber windows . They provide a unique way to provide superior insulation and protection without sacrificing the historical authenticity of these valued structures.

Tailored for Tradition

Sash windows are a defining feature of many historic and listed buildings, known for their classic style and operation. However, they are also often singled out for poor energy efficiency. Prone to draughts and heat loss, they can often suffer from unsightly condensation and even mould.

Gecko Panes provide an innovative secondary glazing solution that preserves the original window’s look and functionality far better than conventional alternatives while significantly enhancing its thermal and acoustic performance.

How Gecko Panes Work

Our patented Gecko Panes are unique, with several features that make them the best option for listed and other historic windows, by far. They’re expertly crafted to fit seamlessly with your existing sash windows. Unlike any other system, they install inside the existing frame of each sash, our secondary glazing is virtually invisible from inside and out, maintaining the building’s aesthetic and historical value. Here’s how they improve your windows:

  • Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: By creating a stronger barrier to the external environment, Gecko Panes reduce heat transfer.This means warmer interiors during winter and lower heating bills, and cooler spaces in the summer while avoiding the cost and disruption of invasive modern window replacements.
  • Superior Noise Reduction: Ideal for buildings in noisy areas, our panes significantly cut down sound transmission. Enjoy a quieter, more peaceful living or working environment without sacrificing the style of your traditional sash windows.
  • Condensation Control: By improving the thermal properties of your windows, our secondary glazing solutions help minimise condensation build-up, which is a common problem in older windows. This reduces the risk of mould and rot, protecting the window frames and enhancing indoor air quality.
  • Easy Installation: Gecko Panes are designed for minimal damage and disruption. They can be installedfar more quickly than alternatives, without any of the damage or joinery required by alternatives, making them a favoured choice among heritage property owners and conservation professionals.
  • Non-Invasive Installation: Gecko window inserts require no structural changes or joinery whatsoever, preserving your building’s integrity while enhancing energy efficiency. Unlike alternatives, Gecko Panes do not obstruct window operation or shutters in any way. 
  • Eliminate UV: the acrylic sheet used in Gecko Panes cuts out harmful UV almost completely (but never yellows over time), protecting valuable furnishings.

Choosing the right glazing upgrade solution for a listed building can be daunting. Gecko Panes make the decision easy, offering a sympathetic and effective approach to window insulation.
