Extreme Magnetic DIY Secondary Glazing KIt

I ordered an Extreme Magnetic DIY Secondary Glazing Kit 945x1460mm, 4mm thick. On the whole a good experience but a couple of points. My order hadn't arrived by the set date but when I contacted The Plastic People, it turned up the next day, very well packaged with no damage at all. The plastic sheeting fitted perfectly and although it's helped alot with the cold coming off the single glazed window, the window frame has a very slight beville on it and the magnetic tape isn't attaching to the tape on the plastic very well. So in some places it magnetises well but in other parts not at all. Looked at the clips but the window surround is angled and wouldn't work. Have screwed in another type of clip in one place which helps hold it and may screw in others, but you have to unscrew them to get the sheeting off. The condensation is alot less but obviously there are far to may gaps where the moist air is getting in, though this type of fix is never going to be airtight. This is an issue with my window rather than the kit I would say. Maybe a 3mm more flexible sheet mau have magnetised better. Dropped one star because it didn't arrive in time and another star because I feel I did order correctly for the size of the window and thought the extreme tape would work with the slight beville.

Maggie,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear about the delayed delivery and the challenges you faced with the magnetic tape due to the window frame's bevel. We will review our delivery timelines. Your feedback regarding the tape's performance with beveled frames and the suggestion of a more flexible sheet is valuable and will be considered for future product improvements.

My go to for cut to size MDF

As I’ve been working my way through doing some home projects I’ve needed some cut to size MDF, I’ve now raised 3 separate orders with them and all have been spot on. All mdf comes well packaged with corner protectors and to be honest are over packaged for protection. I’ve got a few more projects on the horizon and these guys will be my go to now. Reasonable price and reasonable turn around for delivery too.

Thanks for getting in touch. I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with the third-party courier service and the fees we have to pass on. We wish you had got in touch in the first instance to discuss this issue rather than giving a poor review when really it’s not our fault. We will however review our postcode policies to improve our customers' experience now and in the future. We're glad you like our products.
