Secondary Glazing

Window condensation is a widespread problem for homeowners across Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas, particularly during autumn and winter. It develops when warm, moisture-heavy air inside a property comes into contact with colder window surfaces, causing water droplets to form on the glass. Although condensation may appear to be a minor inconvenience, prolonged exposure can lead to mould growth, damage to window frames and surrounding walls, and a decline in indoor air quality. Understanding how to stop window condensation is essential for protecting both your home and your health. What Causes Condensation on Windows? Condensation is most common in homes with poor insulation and limited ventilation. Older properties found throughout Bath and many parts of Bristol often still rely on single glazing or inefficient double glazing, which allows internal glass surfaces to become very cold. Everyday activities such as cooking, bathing and drying clothes indoors increase humidity levels, and without adequate airflow, moisture settles on the coldest surfaces in the room, which are usually windows. While opening windows and improving ventilation can help, upgrading your glazing is the most effective long-term solution How Casement Windows Help Reduce Condensation Modern casement windows are one of the best ways to prevent condensation forming on windows. High-performance casement windows from Panoramic Windows use advanced double or triple glazing to keep internal glass surfaces warmer, reducing the temperature contrast that causes condensation. For homes across Bristol and Bath, this results in drier windows, improved comfort and better overall energy efficiency. Casement windows also allow excellent ventilation control, enabling homeowners to release humid air quickly when needed. Their tight seals prevent draughts while still allowing fresh air circulation, which helps regulate indoor moisture levels. Alongside condensation reduction, casement windows improve thermal efficiency and reduce heating costs, making them a practical and visually appealing upgrade for both modern and traditional homes. Secondary Glazing Secondary glazing is an ideal solution for homeowners who want to reduce condensation without replacing original windows. This is particularly important in listed buildings and conservation areas, which are common throughout Bath and central Bristol. Secondary glazing involves fitting an additional pane internally, creating an insulating air gap that keeps the original window warmer and significantly reduces condensation. This solution is highly effective at improving thermal performance while preserving the character of period properties. In addition to condensation control, secondary glazing improves sound insulation and helps lower energy bills. For homeowners seeking a discreet, planning-friendly solution, secondary glazing from Panoramic Windows offers long-lasting benefits. Aluminium Windows Aluminium windows are a popular choice for contemporary homes and renovation projects across Bristol and the surrounding areas. Modern aluminium window systems are designed with advanced thermal break technology that prevents cold from transferring through the frame. This ensures internal surfaces remain warmer, reducing the likelihood of condensation forming on both the glass and frame. In addition to their excellent thermal performance, aluminium windows provide slim sightlines and larger glass areas, allowing more natural light into the home. Their durability, low maintenance requirements and resistance to corrosion make them a long-term solution for homeowners who want to address condensation while achieving a modern, minimalist appearance.
