This video was created by the HGS REACH, the climate action group of the Hampstead Garden Suburb Residents Association.

Interesting but I can’t help but think of Monty python impressions of British people while watching.
I bought these last year and found they made quite a big difference. However, since putting the glazing back on i found the magnetic strip has lost some of its magnetism in places . Any idea how i can correct that if at all possible?
If your spending about £300 for these then whats the payback period? is it even worth it.
I work from home and sit next to a large window all day. Before the secondary glazing I was often cold and sometimes sat with a blanket on my knee. That no longer happens. Spending £300 to make my house more comfortable sounds like good value.
I hadn’t appreciated how much blitz damage there was
As A ex "postman pat" on Litchfield way and Nothway...Sutcliffe and brunner close...such beautiful place ...and beautiful people and families
Brilliant video
This one deserves much more views on UA-cam! 🎉 Lovely documentary indeed!
Who gives a crap about carbon footprint? Everyone talks about it but no one actually cares..
Spent the entire time locating the views. Nearly 50 years on and despite the extra cars nowadays a testimony of the success of the Trust and owners
I wonder if moisture would be trapped, causing misting/condensation? I guess a lot less than the condensation of the single glazed alone.
Hi, in my home condensation was reduced to almost zero. If you still get a lot of condensation with secondary glazing then this may be an indication that your main glass window is not waterproof.
Im my house secondary glazing has eliminated my serious condensation problem. You only get condensation between the panes if water is leaking in from outside.
Helpful and informative piece of information
this was an excellent and informative video, but as someone on their own I need help sourcing and fitting this item
Hi, I would think that a competent home handyperson - the sort of person who puts up pictures and does other odd jobs - would be able to handle this. There are companies that will come to your house, measure up and fit, but it would be considerably more expensive. However, even at a much higher price I would say this is good value. In my own home the difference has been dramatic.
Thanks for watching. The full written guide to using the camera is at hgsra.uk/docs/ir-camera-guide-v1.pdf
