how to double glaze without replacing your windows
There ' s no denying that double glazing is a brilliant concept . It makes your home warmer in winter , cooler in summer and can help to reduce your energy bills by more than 50 per cent . However , often people are concerned about the cost of replacing their existing windows , the mess it would make and what this could mean for any heritage features of their homes .
Double glazing works by creating a layer of still air between two pieces of glass , and it ' s that trapped air that provides the insulation value . But replacing your windows can be a messy business . First you need to remove your existing windows , which are often in perfect condition , aside from being single glazed , and find a way to dispose of them . This is followed by coordinating multiple contractors to carry out plastering , painting and eventual decorating .
In pursuit of an alternative that was both aesthetically pleasing and would keep his own timber windows out of landfill , Maurice
Beinat developed a revolutionary secondary glazing system called ecoGlaze ®. It delivers all of the benefits of high quality double glazing and , best of all , it ' s about 60 per cent cheaper than traditional high-quality double glazing !
This retrofit double glazing alternative integrates with your existing window frames with no structural intervention required at all . It works by adding a crystal clear acrylic panel to your existing window frame , which is held the perfect distance from the existing glass for the best thermal performance . Your windows continue to open and close normally as the ecoGlaze ® panel travels with your window as it moves .
The high-quality acrylic is secured by a border of elegant timber mouldings , that preserve and complement the character of your windows , blending perfectly with the timber frame . The acrylic panel is virtually unbreakable , making it extra safe for children and pets .
Save the expense , the fuss and the aftermath of replacement double glazing and start enjoying the thermal comfort benefits of ecoGlaze today , available exclusively from ecoMaster .

In order to meet the rising demand for security , the innovative LOCKSTAR window safety handle has been developed – a simple solution for securing windows and balcony doors in residential and office buildings . LOCKSTAR is the only window handle that combines the advantages of a mechanical handle locking device with those of an alarm function .
In developing this product , particular attention was paid to high-quality construction and maximum functional reliability , because when it comes to security , there ’ s no room for compromise . While the locking device is in place , the innovative LOCKSTAR sensor system monitors any mechanical effects relative to the window , glazing and fittings . That makes a separate glass breakage sensor superfluous , and the less-than-attractive adhesive magnet is likewise a thing of the past .
Integrated LEDs display discreetly but
clearly ; LOCKSTAR is on guard ! It also works when the window is tilted open – another unique product feature . The handle is simple to install and requires no electronic calibration . The universal design for DIN L and R with adjustable pin length permits retrofitting to nearly all tilt and turn windows , regardless of the manufacturer .
The large number of different handle designs with three surface variants offers the customer an extremely broad selection in terms of design . One highlight in that regard is the version in which the functional window handle is harmoniously integrated into the window sash .
Additional variants permit an extended functionality and sensor system , for example , for temperature and relative humidity . In that case , a special module communicates via Bluetooth with other devices to enhance security and convenience ( e . g . for heating and ventilation ). A high-end variant of the
LOCKSTAR range , available from summer 2016 , will offer full compatibility with leading smart home standards .
