Has anyone tried or heard of EVS Glazing, they offer a retrofit of triple glazing, basically it looks like they fix a upvc double glazed window to the outside of your existing window. Trying to find the best option for an older home without losing character.

It says it stops drafts, but can the windows still be opened? Seems like it should be one or the other. Better to get proper double glazing, windows that close and seal properly, they look fine on older houses.

I guess their draught stopping is this https://evsglazing.nz/EVS_Draughtstops.html rather than a feature of the added glass.

We will most likely go for retrofit double glazing, we have a couple of prices but I'm just looking at all options and came across this, a technique I hadn't heard of before.
