What You’ll Need: Magnetic Tape
-
PART A (Smooth Side, SKU 59029AM): Find it here
-
PART B (Grooved Side, SKU 59029BM): Find it here
Before You Start:
-
Cut Your Perspex:
Measure your window dimensions with precision. Cut your Perspex sheet to match, leaving a small gap (3mm–5mm) around the edges to allow for natural expansion and contraction.
-
Clean Your Window Frame:
Wipe down the inner surfaces of your window frames using isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaner. Removing dirt, grease and dust creates a strong adhesive bond. Let the frames dry completely before moving on.
Installation Instructions:
1. Apply PART A to Your Perspex Sheet:
Measure each side of your Perspex sheet. Cut strips of PART A magnetic tape to fit each edge precisely.
Peel off the adhesive backing and firmly apply the strips along the sheet’s edges without leaving gaps. Trim any excess tape for a neat finish.
2. Attach PART B to PART A:
Cut strips of PART B magnetic tape to match the lengths of PART A. Magnetically attach PART B (grooved side) to PART A (smooth side). Make sure the adhesive side of PART B faces outward.
3. Install Your Secondary Glazing:
Remove the adhesive backing from PART B, revealing the sticky side. Press the Perspex sheet firmly into the cleaned window frame, ensuring all edges adhere securely.
