Default DIY secondary double glazing - Superglaze

Hello, has anyone fitted their own secondary double glazing? I'm
thinking of putting it in our living room, which is two rooms knocked
together with victorian sash windows at each end (one of which is a
bay window). The intention would be to improve draughtproofing and
reduce heatloss. Soundproofing is not really a problem for us. I just
had a look online at "superglaze", the second product in he

Anyone know anything about this or have any other comments?

Cheers!

My windows are similar Victorian sashes and 15 years ago, had no real
choice other than to secondary 'glaze' using a similar plastic
stripping system.
Didn't use glass as the windows are really big and I wasn't keen on
the glass weight and other safety aspects. Used Wickes acrylic sheet
and their own stripping system.
Yes!. Heatloss was markedly reduced and draughtproofing (and
soundproofing) are excellent.
