Protecting windows during new build

    I just have my windows installed in my new build and I am looking for a way to protect them before I continue with work. I have seen the guy that supplies the Glassguard, but he is quite expensive. I have also seen a product called peel guard - this is liquid latex that can be brushed, sprayed or rolled on and it sets within minutes. I have only seen it on the internet and I am wondering if anyone knows any supplier of this or any hardware in the west or midlands that I can buy it in.

    Regards

    Dan

    Reilig,

    It sounds like it might be too late for you but I had always heard the trick was to wrap the eitire window, frame and all, in cling film before the window is installed ?

    Regards,

    Cling film sounds a good idea.
    Why not use thin plastic sheets, cut to size and mastic taped to frame?

    They work as good as anything I have seen, clear plastic sheeting is good, it lets the light in for plastering and second fixing.

    Hi Reilig

    500gauge polythene and a roll of radon tape. Seen it done many times does the trick, lets in light, can be trimmed off when ready. Cheap option works
