UV PROTECTION & PRIVACY
UV PROTECTION & PRIVACY
Block harmful UV, keep interiors looking new, gain privacy and enjoy the added benefits of energy and acoustic performance.
Magnetite acrylic window inserts are a retrofit secondary glazing solution that attach to the interior of existing windows. They combine high-performance acrylic glazing with magnetic framing to create an airtight cavity that improves thermal performance, reduces noise, blocks UV, and can be configured for privacy.
IDEAL FOR:
- Homes with valuable furnishings and artwork (UV protection preserves finishes)
- Street-facing units and ground-floor apartments needing privacy without losing daylight
- Older MURBs with single-pane windows where energy and acoustic upgrades are high priority
- Bathrooms, bedrooms and offices where sightlines and condensation are concerns
How MAGNETITE Blocks UV
- High-grade acrylic naturally attenuates UV wavelengths; museum-grade or UV-blocking acrylic formulations block up to 99% of harmful UV.
- Optional film treatments coatings can be paired with Magnetite acrylic window inserts for enhanced solar control and UV filtering where needed.
- Blocking UV protects soft furnishings, carpets, artwork and finishes — extending the life of interior surfaces and saving replacement costs.
QUICK BENEFITS AT A GLANCE
Up to 99% UV
Laboratory and industry data show acrylic inserts can block very high proportions of harmful UV radiation commonly in the 95–99% range depending on the grade and coatings that are used. Magnetite acrylic window inserts protect fabrics, flooring, artwork and finishes from fading and UV damage.
Clear Views
Clear Magnetite acrylic window inserts block harmful UV rays while maintaining full clarity. Privacy-grade options gently diffuse details yet keep interiors bright and welcoming. Together, they offer a modern solution that enhances comfort and privacy without sacrificing natural light or your views.
Privacy
Magnetite acrylic window inserts are available in privacy-grade or diffusing acrylics and films that obscure sightlines while still transmitting daylight — ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms and street-facing rooms. The result is a bright, naturally lit space that maintains privacy without the need for blinds or heavy window coverings.
Condensation
The airtight seal created by Magnetite acrylic window inserts keeps interior glass surfaces warmer, reducing moisture buildup and preventing condensation, mold, and mildew — all while improving comfort and clarity year-round. This added insulation also helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
