Secondary Glazing
Options

Hi All,
I hope somebody can assist me.
I am looking to purchase my first home and want to be sure I am aware of as many potential costs as possible so that I am not caught unawares.
The property I have taken a liking too has victorian sash windows which I imagine will not be the warmest in the winter months.
I would like to know how much it would be likely to cost to install perspex secondary glazing on these windows. I don't want a bespoke job, just panels that I can put over the window frame and remove in the summer - I don't need to be able to open the window.
The property has one large bay window and 2 "normal" size sash windows which I would definitely want done. The other windows are less urgent.
Does anyone have any idea how much I should budget for this sort of work? I am not good at DIY and have very little time so would need to employ someone to do this for me.
Many Thanks

Basic solution, get some perspex and screw it to the inside, but this should not be the solutipon, its a fire trap and you dont get any ventilation. there are secondary companies out there who should charge 250/400 tops for glass secondary

sashmanBuying quality goods which last, should be an investment that saves money. :T
Buying cheap products which fail, wastes money and costs twice as much in the long run. :mad:0
