Custom Window Inserts to Fit Any Space
WHAT IS MAGNETITE
Custom Fit to Reduce Drafts & Improve Energy Efficiency
Magnetite custom-fit magnetic window inserts are precision-measured and manufactured to reduce drafts, improve energy efficiency, and enhance comfort without replacing your existing windows. Designed for a wide range of residential and commercial applications, our acrylic inserts deliver the performance of traditional storm window inserts in a low-profile interior solution. Custom window inserts also provide superior noise reduction for urban dwellings, offices near busy streets, or any space requiring a quieter environment. Magnetite inserts create a more comfortable atmosphere to foster better productivity and relaxation in your home or workspace by eliminating drafts and enhancing thermal performance.

Acrylic window inserts are a lightweight and cost-effective option for custom window inserts, making it easy to install, remove, and retrofit. When paired with a proper air gap and airtight seal, acrylic provides effective sound reduction, improved energy efficiency, and UV protection, helping create a quieter and more comfortable indoor space.
Acrylic inserts are well suited for budget-conscious projects where weight, removability, and overall value matter most. While laminated glass offers higher sound control in demanding environments, acrylic remains a practical and proven solution for many homes and buildings.

Laminated Glass
Laminated glass provides the highest level of sound control for custom window inserts. Made from two layers of glass bonded with a clear interlayer, laminated glass absorbs vibration rather than transmitting it, which significantly reduces both high-frequency and low-frequency noise.
In addition to superior sound reduction, laminated glass offers strong UV protection, improved security, and long-term durability. This makes it the preferred option for homes and buildings where maximum performance and comfort are required.

Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is a strong, durable option for custom window inserts and is commonly selected for safety, clarity, and building code compliance. The heat-treated glass offers excellent impact resistance and long-term durability, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial applications.
Tempered glass provides moderate sound reduction and performs well in everyday noise conditions. While it does not offer the same level of acoustic damping as laminated glass, it remains an effective solution when strength, safety, and structural performance are the primary considerations.

 FAQ’s
What are custom window inserts?
Custom window inserts are interior panels measured and manufactured to fit your exact window opening. They improve insulation, reduce noise, and enhance comfort without replacing existing windows.
Why does custom fit matter for window inserts?
A precise fit is essential for performance. Custom-fit inserts create an airtight seal that helps reduce drafts, improve energy efficiency, and support sound reduction compared to off-the-shelf options.
Are Magnetite inserts considered storm window inserts?
Yes. Magnetite inserts function as modern interior storm window inserts, providing insulation and noise reduction while preserving the exterior appearance of the building.
Can custom window inserts be used for irregular or unique window shapes?
Yes. Custom-built window inserts are well suited for arched, bay, oversized, or uniquely shaped windows where standard products may not fit properly.
Do custom window inserts work in Canadian climates?
Yes. Custom window inserts Canada homeowners and businesses use are designed to handle temperature fluctuations, cold winters, and moisture conditions common across Canada.
Are custom window inserts suitable for commercial buildings?
Yes. Custom inserts are commonly used in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial windows applications where comfort, energy efficiency, and noise control are important.
Can custom window inserts be removed after installation?
Yes. Most custom inserts are designed to be removable, allowing for easy cleaning, ventilation, or seasonal access without permanent changes to the window frame.
