Secondary glazing for Dundee’s tenements and listed homes
Broughty Ferry, the West End and pockets of Perth Road hold much of Dundee’s B-listed sandstone tenement stock, where replacing an original sash-and-case window on the street elevation is usually refused. Secondary glazing sits inside the reveal, keeps the sandstone frontage untouched, and rarely needs Listed Building Consent — a rare thermal-upgrade route on protected buildings.
Why locals in Dundee choose Legacy Windows
- Typical quotes fall between £305 and £825 per window, depending on frame system and glass thickness.
- Slimline aluminium and timber-look frames sit discreetly behind original sash-and-case windows.
- Acoustic glass options cut street noise by up to 45 dB — useful along Perth Road and Broughty Ferry Road.
- Hinged or lift-out panels allow the original sash to open in summer.
- No structural work and no changes to the sandstone elevation — usually consent-free on B-listed homes.

Frequently asked questions
Does secondary glazing need Listed Building Consent in Dundee? Usually no, because it is a reversible internal alteration that does not affect the historic external fabric. Dundee City Council conservation officers, applying Historic Environment Scotland policy, occasionally require consent on A-listed buildings.
How much heat loss does secondary glazing save? A well-fitted secondary panel typically halves the U-value on a single-glazed sash, from around 5.4 to 2.5 W/m²K. It also cuts draughts, which matters especially in Dundee’s exposed Tay Estuary climate.
Will it stop condensation on my sash-and-case windows? Condensation often shifts to the outer pane once secondary is fitted, because room-side air no longer meets a cold single-glazed surface. Trickle ventilation on the outer sash keeps the cavity dry.
