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 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.
Why Custom Fit Matters
Poorly fitted inserts allow air gaps that reduce insulation and sound control. Magnetite builds every insert to your exact window opening ensuring an airtight seal and consistent performance whether it’s a Canadian winter or a blazing summer.

Material options overview
Acrylic
Laminated Glass
Tempered Glass
Acrylic
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.
