UV filtering on your secondary glazing protects your precious furniture and antiques from sun damage 

Mitchell & Dickinson, the experts in making period and listed buildings warmer and energy efficient, has launched an innovative evolution of the company's award-winning* secondary glazing system -UV-filtering CosyGlazing.

Designed for those who value both elegance and preservation, this innovation uses Perspex® VA Grade UV-filtering CosyGlazing; the same cutting-edge technology that is used to protect priceless artefacts in museums and galleries.

Sunlight streaming through your windows might feel delightful, but it's slowly fading your home's interiors. From antique woodwork and heirloom fabrics to valuable artwork and irreplaceable books, UV rays are silently eroding the beauty and value of your possessions.

Mitchell & Dickinson's new UV-filtering CosyGlazing blocks up to 99% of harmful UV light, offering a discreet and highly effective barrier against damage. The panels are flawlessly clear, preserving natural light and views while maintaining the exceptional thermal insulation thatCosyGlazingis known for. CosyGlazing doesn't just protect, it insulates. Designed specifically for period properties, the secondary glazing system improves thermal efficiency without compromising on character or charm. The UV protection is offered as an enhancement to this trusted thermal insulation solution, adding another layer of care for your home and its contents.

UV-filtering CosyGlazing is five times stronger than glass and half the weight, making it as practical as it is protective.

Unlike blackout blinds that restrict views, or UV films that degrade over time, UV-filtering CosyGlazing provides invisible protection that doesn't compromise aesthetics. It avoids the patchy light shafts that blinds allow, won't peel or bubble-like film, and delivers a seamless finish that's invisible from the outside. Designed to work beautifully with period properties and listed buildings, each panel is removable and sits unobtrusively within the window frame.

UV-filtering CosyGlazing is ideal for homeowners looking to protect fine furnishings, fabrics and artwork without darkening their rooms or obstructing the view. It's also a perfect fit for heritage buildings, museums and galleries seeking to safeguard delicate exhibits, libraries and archives wanting to preserve vulnerable collections, and retailers who need to shield valuable merchandise in window displays from long-term UV damage.

Crafted using Perspex® VA Grade, this material is exceptionally clear with excellent edge clarity, allowing natural daylight to flow freely while preserving the original colour of interiors and displays. Its UV filtering performance is embedded throughout the sheet, not just on the surface, ensuring consistent protection. Available in a range of thicknesses, it offers flexibility for a range of installations, from domestic settings to institutional heritage environments.
