How to measure for your Magnetic secondary glazing
Our secondary glazing is magnetically fixed to the inside of your window frame. As the panels are flat you need to identify a flat area all the way around your frame. This needs to not be fouled by any handles or other fixings in that area. Our secondary glazing panels are designed to sit on a window cill at the bottom. If you will not have support under the panel please use our fixing clips for additional support.
How much room is needed to fix the glazing to?
Our made to measure secondary glazing units have unique edging that is 18mm wide but the tapes that attach the unit to your frame are only 13mm. That 13mm is the width of the area that you need to fix your panels to.
Measuring for a single unit
Most often, your window will be covered in one secondary glazing panel. The most discreet way is to take your measurements from the outside edges of the frame. You would measure the height and width in three places and give us the smallest of the three to allow for your window not being totally square – even in modern windows this is almost always the case!
Tip - If you have room on the frame you can allow a few mm to make it easier to get to the edges if you want to remove the panel.
We will make your secondary glazing panel to the sizes you give us so don’t worry about working out the size of the actual clear panel – we do all of that – just give us the finished overall size you need your secondary double glazing to be.
