Is this really the minimum? I was going to explore the possibility of double glazing in my windows but bars 40mm wide just wouldn’t be on – nor would sticking on a framework that makes it look like the window has separate panes. Guess I’ll just have to do without.
I’m afraid so, double glazing requires a 5 MM air circulation gap around the edges of the unit, so add a min. 10 MM extra coverage for the glazing slip makes it 15MM each side and 10 MM in the middle is the bare minimum required to attach the slips each side.
