How to Fit Magnetic Secondary Glazing to Sash Windows
If you are looking to improve your sash windows’ thermal efficiency, reduce noise levels and prevent condensation in historic properties then magnetic secondary glazing may be the perfect solution for you. It is easy to fit, can be removed in the summer months and does not require changing the existing windows – making it ideal for historic properties where maintaining originality is essential.
Our Magneglaze magnetic secondary glazing sash windows consist of a clear Perspex acrylic window pane that is fitted to an existing window frame with magnetic brown tape. This provides cost-effective heat and sound insulation and instant access to the existing windows, allowing you to clean and ventilate your home. For an enhanced cosmetic appearance, you can also add Magnetglaze finishing trim to enhance the look of your secondary glazing.
Unlocking the Benefits: Exploring the Magic of Magnetic Secondary Glazing Sash Windows
To fit the plastic secondary glazing, first measure the length and width of your existing window. You need to allow for the thickness of the existing window frame and also ensure that you have enough room to attach the magnetic tape. Once you have your measurements, simply enter them into our Cut To Size Quote Tool above and we will supply you with a bespoke secondary glazing sheet that is made to order to your exact sizes.
When installing your secondary glazing, it is important to ensure that the plastic pane overlaps the existing window frame on each edge equally. This is to create a tight seal that helps to increase the thermal insulation. The standard magnetic tape used comes as a coil and can be cut to the appropriate length and then stuck to the edges of your new acrylic window pane.
