Fixed Pane Secondary Glazing Sheets


Fixings

Glazing strips are white upvc and are 1.83M long .They can be used for fitting 2-4mm acrylic or plate polycarbonate. They come in 2 parts ,a  base which you stick with double sided tape onto your window frame and a top cap which clips on top holding the secondary glazing panel in situ.

The corners will need to be mitred. For larger panels we strongly recommend  screwing the base of the glazing strip onto your frame. The screws will be covered by the top cap. Please ensure you  allow 26mm per dimension for the fitting of the glazing strips if you are ordering cut to size acrylic or polycarbonate.

Magnetic tape can be used for fitting 2-4mm acrylic or plate polycarbonate . The kit comes in either 15 or 30M lengths and consists of a  roll of white steel tape and white backed magnetic tape (brown backed magnetic tape is also available).


The adhesive on the steel tape in the magnetic tape kit works best when applied to a high gloss surface. The paint need to be well cured and in good condition. We strongly recommend cleaning the surface with a  pure alcohol cleaner(such as IPA wipes) before fitting to ensure there are no contaminants on the surface. You may also want to consider using  easyfix screw clips with the larger panels to help support the magnetic tape. They cost £1.88 for a pack of 12.


Framed magnetics stripsFramed magnetic strips are white upvc clip edging on a magnetic tape backing 2.44M long with a white steel strip with self adhesive backing. The white steel strip is fixed to the window frame as above and the framed magnetic strip is clipped onto the edge of your acrylic or polycarbonate secondary glazing sheet.

This ideal if you require the ease of use of magnetic tape but want a  frame around the glazing sheet. If you are using this with a larger sheet we recommend screwing through the frame to help support the panel.  You need 19mm of flat mounting surface on your window frame to fit the framed magnetic strip. The 2.44M strip costs £9.83 per length ex VAT.




The Easyfix kit can be used for fitting 2-4mm acrylic ,plate polycarbonate or glass. You get a 15M roll of flexible edging ,72 nylon clips and wood screws ,a  mitre tool and fitting instructions. The flexible edging is used to frame the panel and it is then held in place by the nylon clips and screws.

As Easyfix is not reliant on adhesive it is ideal where the surface is not high gloss,is slightly uneven,or slightly damp. The kit is available in white,clear or brown.

Cutting tips

The sheets can be sawn with an electric jigsaw or a handsaw with a fine toothed blade. They can also be drilled using a slow speed power drill or hand drill. Put a small piece of adhesive tape on the sheet to prevent the drill point from skipping.

We offer a free cut to size service. Just give us the dimensions at time of order. Our saw cuts to a tolerance of +/- 3mm.

Measuring Tips

We offer a free cut to size service. When ordering just tell us the dimensions you need the glazing sheet cut to.

The secondary glazing panel needs to cover the glass of your window plus at least the width of your fixings. If you want the secondary glazing to go up to the outside edge of the recess please ensure you allow some tolerance space incase the wall isn't square etc.

If you are using the OM25 magnetic tape this the size the glazing sheet needs to be cut to. The tapes are 13mm wide so ensure there is enough space on the frame to accommodate this.

If you are using the upvc OM24 glazing strip you will need to deduct 22mm per dimension as the glazing strip frames the glazing panel.

If you are using the Easyfix flexible edging please allow space for the clips . If you deduct 22mm per dimension that should be sufficient.

It is important that there is a flat surface all the way round to ensure a good fit. Please ensure that all window furniture e.g. handles etc fit within the recess.
