Basically not possible. DG units too thick, heavy, and have wide seals
which wouldn't be covered by the rebates.


Oh dear. I must expect mine to fall out any day now. then. Despite having
lasted for over 15 years.

Waste of money too, DG is generally not very cost effective. Plenty of
cheaper alternatives e.g. heavier curtains, 2ary glazing, etc


Personally I like to see through windows in the daytime. Night too, often.
And heavy curtains in a kitchen would be a health hazard. Secondary
glazing looks cheap and nasty.
