Summer might not be over just yet...

but autumn will be here before you know it. Now is a good time to start thinking about your windows.

Our magnetic secondary glazing kits provide an additional acrylic glazing panel, cut to your measurements, which can be fitted to your existing window using magnetic tape.

When correctly fitted, secondary glazing can help to:
🙌🏽Reduce draughts
🙌🏽Reduce the effects of condensation
🙌🏽Improve heat retention
🙌🏽Provide a more cost-effective alternative to replacing existing windows.

And because your acrylic panel is cut to size, you can order the dimensions you need for your window.
