“Fairly easy to use, although the metal strip is awfully sharp, it's easy to put little slices in your fingers! The first time I used it led to a lot of little paper-cut style stings. Next time round forewarned was forearmed so my tip to you is not to press the adhesive strips flat onto the window frames with your thumb - grab a little block of wood, or use a tool handle. The blue tape on the back is a right bugger to get off, it's so thin and fiddly. I generally needed to put my reading glasses on and pickle it off with a sharp-pointed screw. For some reason, the the magnet strip and metal strip, although sold in matching packs of the same length, seem to be mismatched by a meter or two, so one tended to run out before the other. I'm hoping that the mistake was in my favour, life's too short to go back and measure them to find out!”

“We chose polycarbonate glazing with Magnetglaze to reduce external noise from old single glazed sash windows, this has made a huge difference by muffling any external noise.”

“I am satisfied with the result of putting this secondary glazing up, but I encountered some problems along the way. Chief among them was that even though the sheets I put up were well within the size guidelines for the standard width magnetic strips, the glazing slips down one of the three windows I put it on. I had to put small pins under the bottom frame to keep it from slipping down (which luckily I could do as the window is in a wooden frame). Also the video showing how to mount the glazing is very sketchy and misses out some steps. A different video to which a link is also provided gives a different technique in more detail, but the backing on the metal (non-magnetic) strip cannot easily be removed as the video suggests. By the time I had done 3 windows I had developed a technique which worked well, but it was by trial and error. Also, applying the frame is not covered in the instructions. A good, complete instructional video, including warnings about how sharp the edges of the strips are when cut, would be extremely helpful.”
