Glazing Upgrades for Energy Efficiency

Upgrade your building’s glazing without full replacement. We retrofit windows, curtain walling and façade systems to improve thermal performance, reduce carbon emissions and support EPC, MEES and BREEAM targets — without full strip-out. Where budgets don't stretch to replacement, or heritage and conservation constraints prevent it, retrofit is the compliant, cost-effective route.

  • IGU upgrades to improve U-values and reduce heat loss
  • Secondary glazing for heritage and conservation-restricted buildings
  • Air and weather tightness remediation across envelope interfaces
  • Solar and thermal control film to reduce overheating and cooling demand

Retrofit & Performance Upgrades

Six Retrofit Interventions for Existing Façades

Each intervention targets a specific aspect of glazing and façade performance. Most projects combine two or more to meet compliance thresholds and maximise value from a single programme.

IGU Performance Upgrades

Replace existing insulated glass units with high-performance alternatives to improve U-values and reduce heat loss. Upgrades integrate with existing framing systems with minimal disruption to occupied buildings.

  • Specifications aligned with Part L requirements
  • Supports EPC improvement and MEES compliance
  • No full system replacement required
Discuss IGU upgrades

Secondary Glazing Installation

Install internal secondary glazing systems to improve thermal and acoustic performance where the primary façade cannot be altered. Designed for heritage buildings, conservation areas and occupied sites.

  • Reduces heat loss and air leakage
  • Supports EPC and MEES compliance
  • Discreet internal systems with minimal impact
Discuss secondary glazing

Seal & Gasket Replacement

Identify and seal air leakage paths through Façade Remediation, focusing on glazing and façade interfaces. Replace degraded seals, gaskets and perimeter detailing to improve envelope performance.

  • Quickest route to measurable heating improvement
  • Restores designed air-tightness performance
  • Works aligned with Part L compliance
Discuss seal remediation

Solar & Thermal Control Film

Apply solar control films to reduce solar gain, internal overheating and glare without full glazing replacement. Non-invasive and can be delivered floor-by-floor in occupied buildings.

  • Reduces cooling demand and improves comfort
  • Supports energy performance targets
  • No external access requirement
Discuss solar control

Hardware Renewal & Realignment

Re-align sashes, adjust hinges and replace failed window hardware so windows close correctly, lock safely and seal as designed. Restores designed performance without replacing the window system.

  • Eliminates draughts and water ingress
  • Improves security and ventilation
  • System-compatible components fitted on site
Discuss hardware renewal

Frame Recoat & Surface Treatment

Restore the factory finish on aluminium frames through on-site polyester powder coat renovation. Extends visual and protective life without removing glass or altering frame profiles.

  • Reverses oxidation, chalking and colour fade
  • 15–20 year life extension at fraction of replacement cost
  • Building remains fully occupied
Discuss frame recoating

Decision Support

Upgrade or Replace?

Not every building needs a full strip-out. Where frames are serviceable, budgets are constrained, or heritage and conservation orders prevent replacement, targeted retrofit delivers measurable performance gains at lower cost and disruption.

Lower capital outlay — phased by zone, elevation or budget cycle
Building stays occupied and operational throughout
EPC lift, MEES compliance, Part L alignment without full replacement
Heritage and conservation-compatible interventions
Combined programmes maximise value from a single mobilisation
Performance documentation and compliance evidence on handover

From Survey to Handover

How Our Retrofit Process Works

01

Survey & Assess

We begin with an assessment through Surveys & Technical Reports, then benchmark current façade and glazing performance against your compliance targets — EPC, MEES, Part L or BREEAM. We also assess access, sequencing and programme constraints to ensure the retrofit scope is practical and site-appropriate.

02

Propose & Phase

You receive a clear scope with retrofit options, projected performance improvements, costs, and a phased programme that works around occupancy, access and budget cycles. The proposal is structured to reflect building use and operational requirements.

03

Deliver & Evidence

We carry out the works with minimal disruption and hand over with performance documentation, before-and-after data, and evidence to support compliance reporting. Installation is monitored against specification requirements.

Common Questions

Glazing Upgrades for Energy Efficiency FAQs

We deliver IGU upgrades, secondary glazing installation, seal and gasket replacement, solar control film, hardware renewal, and frame recoating. Works can focus on a single intervention or combine multiple upgrades into a phased programme to meet compliance and performance targets.
