Built on patented technology and a coast-coast installation network.
Magnetite® was developed by Kenneth J. Foster, an energy physicist, in conjunction with the M.I.T. Innovation Center in 1978. He was eventually granted U.S. Patent No. 4,739,980. Mr. Foster combined the concepts of using an acrylic window, like they use on jet airplanes, and a magnetic seal, which is how your refrigerator door stays both closed and air-tight, to create the most energy-efficient window on the market. More than 37 years later, Magnetite® is still the best alternative!
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.
Our Canadian patent which includes a special patent for the installation technique is listed as:
(Canadian Patent Application Number 3,004,733)
(Canadian Patent Application Number 3,004,733)
Magnetite technology is a Canadian-patented insulating acrylic system approved by Natural Resources Canada and the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Magnetite is also a member of ASHRAE, Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) and Ontario Made, reflecting engagement with energy and building performance communities.
