Frequently asked questions
Will Oxford City Council accept secondary glazing on a Grade II listed college building? Almost always yes. Historic England guidance treats secondary glazing as fully reversible, which makes it the preferred glazing upgrade on Listed Buildings. Listed Building Consent is still needed but generally granted for well-designed slimline systems.
How much noise reduction can I expect on Cowley Road or Banbury Road? A properly specified secondary unit with a 100–150mm cavity and laminated acoustic glass typically reduces perceived noise by 35–45 dB Rw.
Does secondary glazing meet Part L? It is not a replacement thermal element on its own, so Part L does not directly apply. Combined U-values below 1.8 W/m²K are readily achievable and often below 1.4.
