The Magnetglaze Secondary Glazing kit here at The Plastic People is one of the simplest and quickest ways to secondary glaze. This glazing kit consists of an acrylic window pane which is held in position with a self adhesive magnetic tape. How Magnetglaze Secondary Glazing works We supply clear as glass acrylic for secondary glazing because it is lighter yet much stronger (17 x ) than glass and provides near perfect optical clarity. We suggest at least 2mm acrylic, although 3mm and 4mm acrylic can be used for larger windows to give more rigidity. Enter the sizes you need for your secondary glazing pane above then select the number of rolls of magnetglaze tape you require. The magnetglaze tape comes in a pack containing 5m of white steel tape to attach to your window frame and 5m of magnet tape (with a white backing) to attach to your acrylic panel. This provides easy, quick and cost effective heat and noise insulation too, along with instant access to the window making cleaning and ventilation simple. To install Magnetglaze Secondary Glazing you will need
Your acrylic window glazing - order this above and we will be deliver it to your exact measurements
Enough Magnetglaze tape to go all the round the edge of your acrylic panel. The Magnetglaze tape comes as a 12mm wide strip with 2 parts: one 5m black self adhesive magnetic strip (with white backing) and one 5m white self adhesive steel strip. Apply the steel strip around your window frame and the magnet tape to your acrylic panel.
Our kit comes with easy to follow instructions.
How to measure & order your Magnetglaze Secondary Glazing Pane
Measure the length and width of the glass window pane that you want to secondary glaze. Measure the visible glass then add at least 30mm to the length and width measurements in order to have space to attach the magnetic tape and fix to your window frame.
Enter the measurements of your desired window pane size into the Cut To Size Quote Tool above.
Fitting is quick and Easy All you'll need is a pair of scissors, a tape measure and this simple step-by -step guide:
Cut and stick the black magnetic strip to the edges of your new clear as glass acrylic window pane.
Hold the acrylic window pane up to your window so that it overlaps the frame equally on each edge
Using a pencil, draw around the acrylic window pane onto your frame. Now cut and stick the white metal strip to your window frame - stick it just inside the pencil marks.
Finally, lift your acrylic glazing pane to the window and click into place.
Always fit your secondary glazing to your main window frame, not to the opening part of the window.
Important Notes:
Please check your existing window frame to see that you have at least 15mm of mounting surface available all the way round.
If you will need more than 5m of adhesive strip to fit around your plastic glazing pane please select the number of rolls you will need from our 'optional extras' menu above.
We do not recommend Magnetglaze plastic secondary glazing for sloping windows or ceiling/roof windows.
For large windows such as 1200mm x 1200mm or bigger, we recommend you choose 3mm acrylic. This will provide you with more rigidity. We also recommend that you place a couple of screws immediately below the glazing panel to add extra support and to prevent the chance of slippage.
