DIY Secondary Glazing

Omega supplies a range of low cost solutions for secondary glazing. They are also ideal for listed and older buildings where you want to retain the traditional glazing. We can either supply made to measure opening units that remain in place all year round or a lower cost fixed secondary glazing kit.

The kit consists of either glass clear acrylic or plate polycarbonate held in place either by upvc fixing strips or magnetic tape. The glazing can be removed for cleaning when required . If you would like to place an order please go to our online shop .

The OM24 UPVC glazing strip can fit glazing materials from 2mm -4mm as secondary glazing to an existing window frame. It consists of 2 pieces 1.83M long of white Upvc which clip into each other. The base strip has double sided adhesive tape so it can be fixed to either metal or wooden frames securely. For larger wooden windows it is recommended that the strip is screw fixed. The “snap in “cap makes installation both quick and easy. Once fitted it looks like a white picture frame around the glazing panel. Price is £4.10 per 1.83M strip

The OM25 Magnetic glazing strip can also be used to fix 2-4mm material to an existing window frame. The kit consists of a 30M long 12.7mm wide magnetic tape and a 13mm steel tape which attach onto each other. There is double sided adhesive tape to attach the tapes to the window frame and glazing material. The tapes are only 2mm thick. It is an ideal solution where you do not want the secondary glazing to protrude too much.It comes in 30 M lengths and costs £37.95 a kit.

Cutting tips

The sheets can be sawn with an electric jigsaw or a handsaw with a fine toothed blade. They can also be drilled using a slow speed power drill or hand drill. Put a small piece of adhesive tape on the sheet to prevent the drill point from skipping.

Measuring Tips

We offer a free cut to size service. Just give us the dimensions at time of order.

If you plan to use the Omega glazing strips deduct 26mm per dimension from the external dimensions of the window frame. It is important that there is a flat surface all the way round to ensure a good fit. Please ensure that all window furniture e.g. handles etc fit within the recess.

Opening Secondary Glazing Units

If you require opening secondary glazing panels we can also supply made to measure secondary glazed units. They are 4mm glass in a white aluminium and hardwood frame. They come in hinged units,and horizontal or vertical sliders and are fixed onto your window frame. If you would like us to quote for this option please either call or email us with the sizes. When measuring for the opening units please deduct 10mm from the size of your window recess to ensure easy fitting.

Some Customer Feedback

Thanks for sending your newsletter – it prompts me to take the opportunity to say how pleased we have been with the secondary glazing kit you sent us a few weeks ago. It was cut to exactly the measurements we asked for and the instructions were clear and helpful. The tapes were good quality and adhered well. The result is hopefully warmer rooms from a system which is hardly noticeable.We chose Omega after an internet search and are very pleased to have found a company whose products are priced reasonably and do exactly what the website claims.
