What is the most suitable product for installing retrofit double glazing on my windows?

A and B Magnetic Tape System are ideal for attaching two non-magnetic surfaces such as window frames (wooden/aluminium) and acrylic panels to create retrofit double glazing.

A and B matched tape systems are designed to work together as a pair, they bond together by attracting to the opposite magnetic poles. The tape comes with adhesive on the back which is on the opposite side to its A or B partner tape. This ensures correct pole alignment when the tapes are used to bond two different surfaces together ie; one surface with A and the other surface with B.

Acrylic sheeting is a heavy material and care should be taken to ensure thicker sheets are installed in such a way as to allow for the window sill to bear the actual weight of the sheet and the magnetic tape serves to simply hold it in place.
