Default Shave/plane glass?

The existing double glazing looks cheap and nasty. My "bodge job"
approach to this problem was to buy 3 sheets of thick lamenated
glass, and simply wedge them inside the inner window area, so that
they sit on top of the window sill, a little bit like secondary
glazing. Luckily, there's a kind of perimeter ridge area within this
inner window area, where I can lean the sheets of glass against. But
because the glass sheets are fractionally too tall, there's not
enough room for me to wedge them between the window sill at the
bottom, and the top part of the inner window area.


light comes on

So you don't want to reduce the thickness of the glass by 1mm, you
simply want to cut the glass so that it fits inside the opening?

Any glazier should be able to do that for you.


OP; "I bought some glass, but it's about 1mm too tall."

Seemed simple enough to me.
