DIY Secondary Glazing allows you to save money on your heating bills by reducing heat loss through your windows. It also generally completely eliminates condensation and helps minimise sound transfer.

Choose from two DIY magnetic secondary glazing systems

Economy Glaze System

Our most affordable and economical DIY secondary glazing system. This uses our high performance, wonderfully clear PET glazing sheets with highest quality magnetic tapes. Available for either white or dark windows. To order:

  • Enter the sheet sizes you need
  • Select ‘tapes only’ from the ‘panel finish ‘ drop-down box
  • Add your choice of white or brown tapes to your order seperately

Premium Edged System

Order the separate parts of our superior, fully edged, DIY magnetic secondary glazing and assemble the panels yourself. Order as follows:

  • Give us the finished sizes you require

Choose DIY assembly to save even more money

Secondary glazing will save you money by reducing heat loss through your windows. This is achieved by creating a layer of static air between your original glass and the warmer PET secondary glazing panel.  This buffer will minimise heat transfer which will lead to warmer rooms and help lower your heating bills! This DIY secondary glazing will also virtually eliminate condensation and reduce outside noise. Save yourself money without compromising on the benefits of secondary glazing by making it up yourself.
