DIY ecoGlaze requires you to have good attention to detail and the ability to closely follow our step-by-step guide videos to achieve successful insulation.

There are 3 steps to installing ecoGlaze. Each step is detailed in a separate video. It is essential you watch all 3 videos before you begin your order in readiness to DIY install.

DIY On-Sash requires 1 x On Sash Fit and Finish Kit per panel of glass 

Step 1. Preparation

1. Measuring the top and bottom of your Window. 
2. Cutting the top and bottom mouldings to size 
3. Cleaning the Window in Readiness for ecoGlaze 

Step 2. Installing the Mouldings

1. Install the Mini Seal to the Perimeter
2. Install the Bottom Moulding and Acrylic Supports
3. Install Top Moulding
4. Measure the side Mouldings 
5. Cut the Side Mouldings
6. Install the Left Hand Moulding 
7. Install the Right Hand Moulding 
8. Fit End Caps from the On-Sash Fit and Finish Kit to the Mouldings. We found this step is easiest when completed with steps 6 and 7

Step 3. Installing the Acrylic

1. Remove Mouldings from window 
2. Double Check the size 
3. Remove liner from the Acrylic
4. Put Acrylic in place and replace mouldings over the top to secure it in place.

Q: Can I collect my order?
A: Yes you can!  A “Ready for Pickup” email will be sent to you when you order is ready to be collected.  Please click this link for the Click and Collect details.  Note:  this Collection Centre is in Preston Victoria, NOT Prestons in NSW. 

Q: Why is the Standard Courier option so expensive?
A: This is a bulky product, and this affects freight costs. We know it’s boring, and we are always working to find the best and most cost-effective way to ship your order to you.

Q: Why can’t I select Australia Post for this product?
A: Unfortunately, this is a bulky product and it exceeds the size limit accepted by Australia Post.

Q: When will my order be despatched?
A: Generally, your order will be despatched within 2 to 3 business days.    

Q: Will my order be tracked?
A: Yes!  When your order is consigned, you will receive a tracking number that will show you where your order is and its expected delivery date.  Track your order here

Please note: Orders with two or more items may arrive in separate parcels with no additional shipping charge

Q: When will my order be delivered?
A: Your order will be delivered by a specialist courier that specifically handles oversized items that cannot be delivered via Australia Post. 
Please note that this is a specialist courier NOT an express courier. Our experience with specialist couriers varies depending upon the delivery location.  Clearly delivery times will fluctuate at peak shipping times such as Christmas, end of financial year and the pinnacle of winter bleakness!

Q: Authority to leave?
A: The standard courier delivery option is "Authorised to Leave". That means that if there is no one home when the courier arrives, your order will be left at your address. If this is not appropriate, please advise when you place your order for alternative arrangements to be made.

Q: What happens if my order is damaged in transit?
A: Our freighters have very strict policies on the ability to claim on insurance if your order arrives damaged.  There is a 48 hour window of receipt of goods for ecoMaster being able to advise the freighters of a damage claim.  PLEASE ensure you have advised us IMMEDIATELY if an order has been damaged on arrival.  Open your order immediately and check.  Outside of the 48 hour window, we are unable to make an insurance claim. 

Q: What happens if my order gets lost during transit?
A: Occasionally we have had orders go missing. ecoMaster has solid procedures in place and photograph every order that leaves our warehouse.  If a delivery date appears to be beyond expectation, we will raise a query on your behalf.  If your order cannot be found during transit, we will send a replacement.  

Q: What happens if my order is stolen after delivery?
A: If your order is stolen from your home after delivery, please raise a Police report. 

Q: How do I make my freight costs cheaper? 
A: We hear you!  Oversized items are expensive to transport.  Any item over 1.5m long carries an additional $10 charge by the courier.   

Potential cost effective freight alternatives are:

• Share the costs of freight with a neighbour
• Buy all your long items (such as Draught Dodgers) in one order (a second tube going to the same address is free)
• Collect your order from Preston Victoria 

If you live regionally or in a rural location, freight costs will be high.  Do you have an address in a town where your order can be safely delivered?   We also live regionally and understand the frustration with the high costs of freight!!

Q: What is DIY ecoGlaze On Sash? 
A: There are three different types of ecoGlaze, each designed for a specific type of window. DIY ecoGlaze On Sash is specifically for hinged or wind out windows and french doors.  

Q: Can I get the acrylic sheet directly from ecoMaster?
A: No. We tried to develop a cost-effective solution for shipping acrylic around the country. Unfortunately, the logistics of doing this across Australia made the option not economically viable for you. We concluded that the most cost-effective way for you to achieve the benefits of double glazing for the lowest possible cost, was for us to provide the DIY ecoGlaze On Sash Mouldings (either single mouldings or in 'Ready to Go' Sets and you source the acrylic locally. We have several acrylic suppliers who understand the ecoGlaze system and are very happy to work with you to achieve the final result.  

Q: OK. I will source acrylic myself. What do I need to ask for?
A: Ask for a 4.5mm thick clear acrylic sheet cut to size. Some brand names that your supplier may have include Plexiglas, Shinkolite and Perspex. Provided you ask for 4.5mm thick clear acrylic, they will all be suitable for secondary glazing. Plexiglass has a 30 year warranty while Shinkolite and Perspex have 10 year warranties. 

Q: My neighbours can look straight into some of my windows. Can ecoGlaze help obscure the view but keep the light?
A: Yes it can! When purchasing your acrylic panel simply ask for “Pearl” coloured acrylic. This is similar to frosting on glass. It still allows most of the light in but obscures the view. You can use “Pearl” to obscure the lower parts of a double-hung window and leave the upper parts clear. 

Q: I have Aluminium Sliding Windows. Can I ecoGlaze them?
A: No. We do not know of any DIY solution that will allow you to secondary glaze existing residential aluminium sliding windows and still allow them to open. We are developing a system that will be suitable for Aluminium sliding windows, to learn more about this, subscribe to https://www.ecomaster.com.au/ecobites

Q: Can I fit DIY ecoGlaze to the outside of my windows?
A: Technically, yes you can. But we do not recommend it and we do not warranty the components if they are installed outside.  

Q: I already have double glazing. Can I fit ecoGlaze as well so I get the benefits of Triple Glazing? 
A: Yes you can. To get the full benefit of Triple Glazing your home, it is important that the rest of your home is also up to the same standard of thermal and energy efficiency. That means, a very well-insulated roof, good quality underfloor insulation, wall insulation and most importantly, thorough draught proofing! If we can relate that to a clothing analogy; there is little overall benefit in wearing a really warm jacket, if you are wearing shorts and thongs. 

Q: Will ecoGlaze stop condensation on my windows?
A: ecoGlaze will significantly reduce condensation on the windows and doors in your home. Condensation occurs because of the build up of moisture in the air and condensing at the coldest point in your home - at the dew point. This is because your windows are normally the coldest element in your home. If there is a build up of condensation, simply remove the acrylic panel, dry the glass and the acrylic then reinstate the acrylic panel and the magnetic mouldings. 

If condensation is an ongoing issue, it would be necessary to determine the source of water vapour in the air and deal with it. Sources of water vapour include, but are not limited to: gas appliances (burning gas emits water vapour and carbon monoxide), drying clothes inside, bathroom exhaust fans that are not effectively removing moisture and some clothes dryers. Open plan showers are particularly problematic as the shower steam is not contained and escapes creating condensation issues for the bathroom as well as adjoining rooms. This is especially prevalent during winter when condensation issues can be at their peak.
