Secondary Glazing Fittings

The OM24 UPVC glazing strip can fit glazing materials from 2mm -4mm as secondary glazing to an existing window frame. The double sided adhesive tape means 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. The strip is 22mm wide.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.

The Easyfix kit can be used for fitting 2-4mm acrylic ,plate polycarbonate or glass. You get a 15M roll of flexible edging ,72 nylon clips and wood screws ,a mitre tool and fitting instructions. The flexible edging is used to frame the panel and it is then held in place by the nylon clips and screws. You need to ensure you allow at least 10mm around the outside of the secondary glazing panel for the clips. As Easyfix is not reliant on adhesive it is ideal where the surface is not high gloss,is slightly uneven,or slightly damp. The kit is available in white,clear or brown.

Framed magnetic strips are white upvc clip edging on a magnetic tape backing 2.44M long with a white steel strip with self adhesive backing. The white steel strip is fixed to the window frame as above and the framed magnetic strip is clipped onto the edge of your acrylic or polycarbonate secondary glazing sheet.
This ideal if you require the ease of use of magnetic tape but want a frame around the glazing sheet. If you are using this with a larger sheet we recommend screwing through the frame to help support the panel. You need 19mm of flat mounting surface on your window frame to fit the framed magnetic strip. The 2.44M strip costs £9.83 per length ex VAT

Prices are valid from 1.2.2009 and are exclusive of VAT

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.

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 22mm 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.
