Step One

Measure Your Windows

    • Measure each window casing.
    • Work left-to-right, floor-by-floor.
  • The recorded height should be the measured height from top to bottom of the casing minus 1/4″. The recorded width should be the measured width from side to side of the casing minus 1/4″. This will give 1/8″ clearance all the way around.

Step Two

Cut The Plywood

  • Cut your plywood to the recorded size of each window.
  • Mark each cut piece with its label, such as FF1, the window at the left front of the house on the first floor.
  • If you keep the chart and label the plywood covers, you won’t need to label the casings.

For Tapered windows please see FAQ’s

Step Three

Slide Clips Onto Plywood

  • Place the PLYLOX™ clips on each plywood cover (if the window is 24″x24″ or smaller, only two PLYLOX™ clips are needed).
  • Each clip should be placed on the edge of the plywood cover no more than 24 inches apart.
  • Make sure the tension legs are facing toward you and your able to see the Plylox ™ name.

Step Four

Push Plywood Into Window

  • Push the plywood covers with the PLYLOX™ tension legs to the outside firmly into the casing.
  • PLYLOX™ clips lock the sheet securely in place.

Removing PLYLOX™ Clips Is Easy Too!

PLYLOX™ window clips are fantastic when you need them and easy to remove when you don't. Use them year after year. If you move, take them with you.

Remove, Store, Re-Use

You can remove PLYLOX™ clips quickly and easily. Just grasp the tension leg of the PLYLOX™ clip with your thumb and index finger and pull forward. This releases the PLYLOX™ and the plywood is easily removed. The PLYLOX™ clips can then be stored and reused the next time you need to protect your property. 

If clips are hard to remove with fingers, a screwdriver may be used to release tension on each clip.

Remove clips from the plywood and store the plywood flat, ready for reuse.
