Secondary glazing.

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to find a cheap supplier of secondary glazing for some windows in my house, it's the type that just fits inside your window in a frame. They come in sliding or lift out single glazed units.

I've found a few, but as is usual in our money grabbing society, they were so expensive that I couldn't justify them. I looked around to see if there were any practical DIY alternatives, but couldn't find any either.

If anyone has any experience of these, I'd be grateful if they share it

cheers everyone


I love animals; I've eaten lots of them :rotfl:

    try magneglaze, they sell secondary glazing, which is plastic,and magnetically attached to the frames of the window.

    probably much cheaper than double glazing.
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    We had two secondary glazed windows - admittedly almost ten years' ago. Wouldn't recommend them. Terrible condensation.
