Craft and Structure practice question
Old buildings lose heat through their single-glazed windows, but replacing them with modern double glazing is often forbidden in protected buildings. One answer is secondary glazing: a slim second pane fitted inside the original window. It cuts heat loss almost as much as double glazing does, and it leaves the historic frame untouched.
