Double Glazing in Leicester

What is actually inside a sealed unit

Double glazing in Leicester is mostly a replacement market now rather than a first fit market. Bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces dominate areas like Clarendon Park and Highfields, while the suburbs (Knighton, Evington, Aylestone) are largely 1920s–1950s semis with original timber frames now reaching end of life. The units coming out are typically fifteen to twenty five years old, and the giveaway is not always misting, it is a cold pane and a room that will not hold temperature after dark.

How we specify double glazing here

Two panes separated by a warm edge spacer bar, argon filled, with a low emissivity coating on the inner face of the outer pane that reflects room heat back inside. Laminated options on accessible openings, internally beaded so the unit cannot be lifted out from the street, and toughened glass where the regulations require it near doors and low sills.

• A-rated units with warm edge spacer and argon fill as standard
• Laminated glass available on every ground floor opening
• Sealed unit guarantee covered within the 10 year insurance-backed cover
• The from price of £450 fitted includes A-rated double glazing. Upgrading glass within a double glazed unit, to acoustic or solar control, is normally a modest addition rather than a step change.
