Also, if replacing the glass is not possible has anyone experience of secondary double glazing.
Thanks K ']]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2493&Focus=32708#Comment_32708 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2493&Focus=32708#Comment_32708 Sat, 13 Sep 2008 21:18:18 +0100 tony

Secondary units are the obvious way to go.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2493&Focus=302226#Comment_302226 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2493&Focus=302226#Comment_302226 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 18:45:50 +0100 jd59
I note that the magnetic strip used for secondary glazing does stick to the windows, but I do not necessarily want to fit another layer of glass/acrylic, although a sheet of polythene and double-sided Sellotape on the outside of the wooden frame has cured the problem in a bathroom over the last winter.

So, I am looking for ideas to try and insulate the steel frames.

Glass or Perspex fitted removable to the frames, cling film stuck and stretched, white magnetic.

It is likely that condensation will form between in the void,sadly.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2493&Focus=302235#Comment_302235 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2493&Focus=302235#Comment_302235 Sat, 01 Jul 2023 09:24:08 +0100 fostertom
Tho back in the 90s we did a succesful job with the basic old fashioned variety of (weakly) thermally-broken aluminium, double glazed. These did have a wider sight line than Crittalls, especially at opening lights, but we were careful to not put any opening lights alongside ea other, only corner to corner (three or four bays wide with fanlights, all in the same frame).]]>
