Stopping Noise Through Windows
Quite often, people do not realize that the majority of outside noise coming into their home is attributed to sound coming through their windows. The large majority of windows are made of glass. Typical double pane windows, which have two layers of 3 mm glass in a thermal unit, typically demonstrate an STC (sound transmission class) of an average of 30. This is due to the fact that most windows, even brand new ones, leak and that glass has a high vibration rate. Applying a non-leaking magnetic acrylic panel to the interior of this window has been proven to increase this STC by an average of 50% and, in some higher frequencies, by as much as 75%. Similar to the way an airplane window is constructed, acrylic does not vibrate and blocks significant sound without replacing the window. Magnetite goes one step further by insulating the interior jamb of the window with acoustical foam to block out additional trapped noise.

FAQs
Can I reduce window noise without replacing my windows?
Yes! Magnetite window inserts help in reducing noise through existing windows, so you do not have to replace the whole window which makes them a practice choice for homes, condos, heritage properties, and commercial spaces.
Are Magnetite panels good for traffic noise and city noise?
Yes! Magnetite panels help in reducing traffic noise, street noise, and other common urban sound problems. They are useful in spaces where outside noise affects sleep, work, or day-to-day comfort.
Can Magnetite panels help with drafts and energy efficiency?
Yes! Magnetite insulating panels help seal air leaks around existing windows which can improve indoor comfort, reduce dust and pollen infiltration, and help lower heating and cooling loss.
