Eco Secondary Glazing

Secondary Window Glazing Ireland

Convert your existing windows to perform like high quality double glazing! The Eco Secondary Glazing System uses plastic panels to block drafts and noise over existing single glazed or double glazed windows. Eco secondary glazing will make your home warmer in winter and cool and comfortable in summer, while greatly reducing your heating bills. It is also effective in eliminating noise and condensation on the inside of windows. And don't worry, it doesn’t affect the window’s functionality. Whether it’s a sliding, fixed or hinged window, you can still open and close them as you did before.

Ecoglaze Secondary Glazing is made from premium quality, acrylic sheet. All materials are fully recyclable. Ecoglaze is fitted to the inside of the existing window, and held in place using our magnetic system. This system traps a layer of still air between the pane of glass and the Ecoglaze Secondary Glazing. This trapped airspace will reduce the rate of heat loss, and also act as a buffer to reduce sound transmission. Ecoglaze can double glaze your existing windows for a fraction of the cost when compared with replacement double glazed windows, and will still provide you with the benefits of standard double glazing.

Ecoglaze Secondary Glazing has four main features that directly benefit your home.

1) Financial Saving - double glaze your existing windows for a fraction of the cost
2) Energy Saving - saves on your energy costs while making your house warmer.
3) Reduces Condensation - providing you with a healthier environment
4) Reduces Noise - providing you with a more pleasant home environment

Secondary Glazing Install Guide

 

Secondary Glazing Magnetic Tape

The magnetic tape is supplied as a ‘kit’ and includes the magnetic tape which is fitted around the plastic panel and also the white steel receiver tape which is fitted around the window frame. The rolls are supplied 15mtrs in length and are cut to size by you and applied to the panels (or edging strip) during installation. Magnetic tape is available in either brown or white.

The magnetic tape is approx. 2mm in thickness. The steel tape is measured in microns (less than 1mm) and is approx. the same thickness as a page of paper.

The magnetic tape is applied to the plastic panel. If using white, the steel tape is applied to the window frame. If using brown, the brown tape is applied to both the plastic panel and another brown tape is applied to the window frame. If using the magnetic tape without the edging strip, please note that it will be visible through the sheet when the sheet is fixed in place.

While magnetic tape is ideal for small to medium sized windows, the secondary glazing effect is not reliant on the use of magnetic tape and holding large sheets of plastic in place can be achieved by other means. The magnetic tape system is not a permanent fix. Panels can be removed simply by grabbing edges of the plastic panel and pulling.

PLEASE NOTE: Magnetic tape works best on small to medium size windows. Where larger sheets of plastic are being used, additional mechanical support may be used to hold plastic sheets in place. 3mm Acrylic sheet is recommended to cover an area up to 1.5 sq metres and 4mm Acrylic sheets to cover an area between 1.5 and 2 square metres.
