Fixings for Secondary Glazing and Measurement Tips
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 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 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.

The double sided tape is stuck around the windows frame and the plastic film applied. A hairdryer is used to smooth out the creases.
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. You may find our measurement converter useful.. 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 Easyfix flexible edging please allow space for the clips . If you deduct 22mm per dimension that should be sufficient. If you are using Superglaze ,the screw side of the strip takes up 10mm so deduct 20mm per dimension from the external dimensions of the window frame/outside edge of where you want the secondary glazing frame to sit. It is important that there is a clean flat mountable surface of 20mm all the way round to ensure a good fit. Please ensure that all window furniture e.g. handles etc fit within the recess.

Customer Comments "I wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation of your service and
products. We have very large sash windows and opted for the OM24 UPVC white glazing strips to hold the panels in place behind internal wooden shutters. They were invisible once installed and the system worked very well.
We haven't received our winter fuel bill yet but we expect consumption to be down on last year as a direct result of your 16mm polycarbonate panels." |
