@SJBH Congratulations on the transformation of your windows, I have been meaning to to the same to my back aluminium sliding door/window. now that I have seen yours, I will be adding it to "to do list' Well done, good luck in your entry to the DIY July competition.

Thanks and it’s easier than you think we went overboard with covering the window because we have tint and didn’t want to risk over spray good luck with yours
