What is secondary glazing?
Secondary glazing is an additional layer of glazing installed on the inside of your existing windows. It creates an insulating air pocket between the original window and the secondary panel, improving thermal efficiency and reducing heat loss.
Unlike traditional double glazing, secondary glazing doesn’t require replacing your windows, making it a cost-effective and reversible solution. AirShield Glazing Panels take this concept further with custom-made, crystal-clear acrylic panels that fit snugly into your window frame, providing superior insulation, noise reduction, and condensation control.
How does AirShield Glazing work?
AirShield Glazing is designed to insulate your home by creating a sealed air pocket between your single-glazed windows and our panels. Made with 3mm thick transparent acrylic and a lightweight aluminum frame, the panels block heat loss, reduce noise, and prevent condensation buildup.
Thanks to our push-to-fit design, the panels are easy to install without tools or professional help. They fit directly into your internal window frame, enhancing your windows’ performance while preserving their appearance.
Do I need to hire a professional?
No, AirShield Glazing Panels are specifically designed for DIY installation. All you need to do is measure your windows, place your order, and push the panels into place when they arrive.
Our step-by-step guide and video tutorials ensure a hassle-free installation process, even for beginners. No drilling, screws, or special tools are required—just measure, order, and install.
AirShield Glazing Panels are priced at £180 per square metre, offering a cost-effective solution compared to traditional double glazing. For example:
A typical sash window (90x110cm) costs around £195.
Larger bay windows or multiple smaller windows can be priced and ordered individually through our quotation tool.

What are the benefits of AirShield Glazing Panels?
AirShield Glazing Panels offer a range of benefits for your home:

Are they suitable for listed buildings and conservation areas?
Yes! AirShield Glazing Panels are ideal for listed buildings and conservation areas because they don’t alter the external appearance of your windows. The panels are installed internally, preserving the original design while providing modern insulation benefits.
Many conservation authorities recommend secondary glazing as a reversible, non-invasive solution for improving energy efficiency in historic homes.
Can I remove AirShield Glazing Panels if needed?
Absolutely! AirShield Glazing Panels are designed for easy removal. Whether you’re cleaning your windows, moving house, or adjusting for seasonal changes, you can take the panels out and re-install them with ease.
What’s the difference between AirShield Glazing and magnetic secondary glazing?
While both are forms of secondary glazing, AirShield Glazing offers significant advantages:
1. Durability: AirShield uses 3mm acrylic with an aluminum frame, ensuring long-lasting performance compared to magnetic solutions, which rely on adhesive tape.
2. Fit and Aesthetics: AirShield panels are custom-made for a precise fit, blending seamlessly with your windows. Magnetic solutions can look bulky and may not seal as effectively.
3. Ease of Installation: AirShield’s push-to-fit technology requires no adhesives, magnets, or tools, making it simpler and cleaner to install.
How do I install AirShield Glazing Panels?
Installing AirShield Glazing Panels is quick and easy:
1, Clean Your Windows: Ensure the frame is clean and dry.
2. Unpack the Panels: Identify each panel using the names and measurements you provided during ordering.
3. Push into Place: Press the panel into the internal frame of your window. The edges and corners will create a secure, snug fit.
No tools or adhesives are required, and the panels are easily removable for cleaning or seasonal adjustments.
