I'm actually looking for a very simple secondary glazing kit
in which a fairly small sheet of glass lifts up to remove it.
I'd like to use this in adn attic with several small windows.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

There is a firm providing similar kits, -
http://www.protechwindows.com/liftouts.htm


Thanks for that.
I had actually looked at that URL,
and wasn't sure if they sold kits or whole units (with glass).
But I'll send them email, as they suggest.

However, I have never used them so cannot make a recommendation.
Surely there are other firms also making or supplying similar. Try
Googling "lift out DIY secondary glazing" or some combination of those
words. Good Luck


I did make a fairly extensive search with google,
and didn't come across anything as straightforward
as Polycell kits used to be.
I vaguely recall that when I bought the Polycell units 15-20 years ago,
"Which" had done a survey which gave top marks to Polycell and Sellotape.
But if Sellotape ever did make this product,
I don't see any evidence that they do so any more.
