Installation of a discrete subframe allows a clear optical grade acrylic panel to attach inside the existing window frame. Using continuous magnetic channels ensures a secure and airtight seal around the window.
The continuous magnetic seal ensures that when the Magnetite panels are in place the window insulation system has the lowest air infiltration rate of any operational window. This seal creates an air cavity between the existing window and your Magnetite panels.
Commercial Property in Mississauga
When we were called by Leasebusters Canada the ownership and employees complained of the constant sweating in the summer and bitter cold of the winter. Additionally, the energy bills were skyrocketing. After installing Magnetite on all their windows the company realized a savings of 31% on their utility bills and just as important created a healthier work environment for all their employees.
Other Considerations
While windows are a major source of heat loss and gain in a room, there are other considerations to ensuring you create a healthy and comfortable living environment. Properly insulated roofs, walls and floors are also important factors to consider in maintaining the temperature in a room. Adequate ventilation will also help improve the quality of air and help reduce excessive moisture and mould build up. For the best results a holistic approach is recommended.

Our system is designed to meet the specific requirements of your situation. Our clear panels will maximize the amount of natural light entering into a room to allow passive heating in winter. During summer, we can use a range of solar control films for glare control and to minimize radiant heat. Tests by CSA® have proven that installing the Magnetite system can improve a windows’ summer performance by 76% and the winter performance by 62%. Contact Us Today.
FAQs
Do Magnetite panels help reduce energy bills?
Yes! Magnetite panels can help lower heating and cooling costs by improving insulation and reducing air leakage. In a commercial installation, the client saw utility savings of 31% after having magnetite window inserts installed.
Can Magnetite help with drafty windows?
Yes! One of the amazing benefits of the Magnetite system is the airtight magnetic seal which helps in stopping unwanted drafts around older or inefficient windows and makes the indoor spaces feel more comfortable year-round.
Do Magnetite panels help with noise reduction?
Yes! Secondary glazing systems can help reduce outside noise by improving the acoustic performance of existing windows. This makes Magnetite a great option for homes, offices, and buildings in noisy areas.
Will Magnetite panels block natural light?
No! Our clear optical-grade acrylic panels are designed to let in natural light while still improving insulation which helps you enjoy a brighter room without giving up energy efficiency.
What other factors affect window comfort and energy efficiency?
While windows play a major role, we also recommend looking at doors, roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and ventilation. We always suggest a full, whole-building approach to even better comfort and energy savings.
