The affordable alternative to double glazing...

Magnetite is a state-of-the-art acrylic based glazing system that converts existing windows to double-glazed windows. Enjoy all the benefits of double -glazing at an affordable price.

A qualified Magnetite technician installs a small frame around the inside of the window casement. The discreet framing allows Magnetite insulating panels to be attached inside existing windows. Magnets hold the Magnetite panels firmly in place and create an air-tight seal around the window, similar to the seal around a refrigerator door. Air trapped between the existing window and the Magnetite system acts as an insulation barrier against noise and temperature.
