How does this work?
We get asked: “why aren’t all windows made of acrylic?” Acrylic has expansion qualities and can’t be sealed into an existing window frame. Our system however which contains a continuous magnetic seal allows the window to expand and contract. This also ensures that when the Magnetite panels are in place the window insulation system has the lowest air infiltration rate of any operational window. This seal creates an air cavity between the existing window and your panels. By Installing a hidden powder coated steel sub-frame we can install a clear virgin acrylic panel to attach inside the existing window frame. Using continuous magnetic channels ensures a secure and airtight seal around the window.
As with traditional storm window double glazing the air cavity acts as an insulation barrier against noise and temperature.
Our product can be attached to any existing window frame – timber, aluminum (Canada & US aluminum) or steel.
The acrylic glazing panels used by Magnetite are up to six times more thermally efficient than glass.
