We probably replace nine old windows for every old window we restore and save. There are two options: restore or replace. If the craftsmanship and charm of your old windows are quickly being eroded by cold drafts and frost on the panes, it may be time to consider doing something about them. Cut the pieces you need and attach them to the plexiglass.Where an old wood window is restored and equipped with a good storm window, it has been repeatedly shown in field studies to perform at least as well as a typical thermal replacement window - and at a lower cost to the environment as well as to your wallet.
On the other side of the glass, measure lengths for your trim tape so you can use it to cover up the magnets. The adhesives are acrylic-based to give them strength and durability. Using the pressure-sensitive adhesive, mount the rubber magnetic strips around the plexiglass along the edges. Step 4 - Mount Magnetic Strips to Plexiglass If your weather stripping is going to replace the lower cleat, you will need to have measured your window down to the sill and added half an inch. It should be cut 1 1/8-inch greater than the distance between the opposite inner edges of the 5/8-inch steel mounting strips. It is important to measure the plexiglass correctly to ensure a good seal and fit to the inside of the window. Write down these numbers to take with you to get the plexiglass. Measure across the top, across the bottom, down the left side and the right side, and from opposite corner to opposite corner. Using a tape measure, get the dimensions of your window, not including the frame. The assembly of magnetic storm windows is a simple process. Included in the kit is 100 feet of steel strip, two 50-foot rolls of magnets (similar to those found on refrigerator doors), 200 feet of trim tape (comes in white or dark brown) and two 100-foot rolls of adhesive. The storm window kits you will find should be able to make seven average-sized windows measuring three feet by four feet. All of the materials you need should be available at your local department store and/or home improvement store.
