Hey! Great to hear the video is useful. Approx 5mm

The type of glue I've used is showed in the video, not sure what was it's technical details. Just asked the guys at the shop, where they cut my acrylic, that I need to glue rubber to acrylic and they gave me that glue. About glue application, that thing sticks very strong, so a tiny bit is enough.

@@istwendau I could see the brand on the video but I couldn't tell if it was thin, medium, or thick. Was it watery (thin)?

Thank you 🙂

Quick question. I live in an old Italian apartment with quite tall windows that have the inner wooded panel to close at night. It’s still not enough to keep the neighbors noise down so I wanted to do the acrylic solution. Wondering if you could recommend a solution or a way to put two handles on the acrylic slab so that I can easily lift the piece in an out every evening and morning. Thanks!

Happy to hear it's useful.

Since my window frame is gradually narrowing down, it wasn't a problem for me, because I knew once the baby bumper attached I would simply put the whole insert slightly back, which I did. However, if your frame has exact measurements, then compensating slightly, makes sense. Before ordering the plexi glass, test your baby bumper by simply squeezing it between your fingers, to see how far it goes, that will give you an idea how much less the glass should be.

Thank you!

And vice versa Karolina! 😉

Będzie 😉

I grab the babybumper with my fingers first, once the insert has moved I grab the whole thing. One of the commenters here suggested to install handles, which is a great idea, but I fell comfortable without them.

@@istwendau Thanks. Did you use the U shaped bumpers or the L shape? It's just hard to imagine gripping them if they're glued to the acrylic.

Great to hear, that the video is helpful. I don't remember exactly, probably two rolls came in one package.

Nope :)

Great to hear that the video is useful 😉 🤙

Just don't use the adhesive tape at all, apply glue directly

Don't remember the brand name, and it's gone from my ebay history. I believe it was a no-name Chinese one.

If it work, it works 😉 🤙 That's a serious self-made window you got yourself sir! 👍 Glad you liked the video

请问这些材料在中國有卖的吗?

CAN YOU PLEASE POST A VIDEO ON HOW YOU MADE THIS???

How did u attach the plexiglass to the wood ?

Does the job for me

Hi, glad you liked the video. I live in Europe and I've sourced my acrylic in a relatively small city. I have no clue where to find it in LA, but I'm sure you can. Probably some google search will work.

How very odd. Asking some guy in Europe where you can find something in the city which must surely have everything.

Hey Stuart, glad you liked the video. Yeah i have a double glazing window. Mine plexi is 5mm, i also wanted a thicker one (probably also a 8mm) but the guys at the shop warned me about a significant weight, so yeah, depending on the measurements 21kg seams possible. Didn't put mine on a scale, but it feels like something ~7-10kg

@@istwendau Thanks for the great info Pavel, that’s the exact situation I’m thinking about regarding the weight. Maybe best to play it safe and lift a weight I can lift at least. Might be able to add other forms of soundproofing on top if need be (blanket etc). It’s a pain as I live next to a street like yours and the single sheet of glass I have is cracked as well. Sod’s law as always! Thanks again for the reply :)

I have new double glazed windows and they do nothing to reduce noise so I'm going to try this idea.

Depends on the thickness i guess, more glass - more heavy. Mine comes off quite easy for me. One of the guys, in the comments here, came up with adding handles for a more comfortable grip.

I don't have a reliable dB meter on hand, but with mine I'd say the noise is reduced more than half from what it was, suitable to record, say vocals with a condenser microphone

Hey! Happy to hear that. Yeah, i've also had this lightbulb moment, when I was thinking how to prevent a child bumping into korners :)

Hey! Happy to hear that the video is helpful.

Probably you're right. But I wanted to use that extra windowsill space to be able to put some stuff there 😉

@@istwendau Sure you do.

5mm

Hey! Great to hear the video is useful. Mine 'baby bumper' came with the adhesive tape not applied (with a separate adhesive tape roll in the package). It's probably a good idea to ask the vendor, before buying, does the bumper comes with the adhesive already applied or separate (like in my case). Either way, don't use that adhesive tape. If it's already applied to the bumper, peal it off if possible. :)

​@@istwendau Perfect! I found an extra thick version that doesn't have the tape already applied, so that is great news. i sourced your exact "dangerous" German glue on Amazon, as well. Lastly, I think it might be cool to share that I also bought some D Rings to attach to the outside facing bottom left and right sides of the plexi (between the bumpers and plexi), just like Indow does. Should make it easier to pull them out. I'm going to start with 1 window and see how it goes, before tackling all 5 at once and face potential disaster. I'm pretty handy, but custom cut 3' x 5' (or 93.98cm x 144.78cm), 1/4" (5.66mm) thick plexi sheets are $183.75 UDS!. If I chose a thicker 3/8" (9mm) version, the price comes to $273 USD! What do you think? ps. I'm rounding the numbers, and plan to deduct ~5mm all around to accommodate the bumpers I've chosen. Plan to bring the bumpers to the place where they cut the plexi so the cutters and I can collaborate on it in person.

Galit, great idea with the D rings! Got me thinking about upgrading my own window 😉 Wish you best of luck with the project!

@@galitadler how did it turn out?

Oho, koks informacijos nutekėjimas :) ne, jau senai nebeužsiimu
