I live in an old house, and the windows in the playroom come almost to the floor. The glass is original wavy glass and probably brittle. Now that my kids are mobile and throwing, I'm going to put plexiglass over them tomorrow. I just wondered if anyone else did this and how you put it on. I will have to screw them onto the frames of the window I think. Is this the best way?

I have never done it myself but I think it sounds like a great idea. What i would do is make sure there is a gap between the two pieces of glass (actual and plexi). Maybe screw the plexy onto the trim around the window.
Im thinking depending on what is thrown and how hard.... the plexy glass will bend a little when hit. So leaving a gap between the two will prevent the plexy from bending and hitting the actual window.

I don't know about the cost because I don't know the size you need, but I would think they would be a tax write off as well as safe and secure since they have the intended purpose you need.
