Proven Energy Savings
Where Patio Door Inserts Make the Biggest Difference
Condos Facing Traffic or Construction
Large balcony doors can expose living rooms and bedrooms to road, rail, construction and neighbourhood noise. An interior insert adds sound control without changing the building exterior.
Cold or Drafty Rooms
Sliding glass doors can make nearby rooms uncomfortable during Canadian winters. Adding an interior glazing layer limits heat transfer and creates a warmer interior barrier.
Homes Where the Existing Door Still Works
If the patio door frame and operating system are still in usable condition, replacing the entire unit may be unnecessary. An insert targets acoustic and thermal performance while allowing the original door to remain.
Commercial and Multi-Residential Properties
Interior installation can improve comfort in offices, apartments and other buildings without major exterior construction.
Large or Custom Patio Door Openings
Each Magnetite system is individually measured, making it suitable for oversized and non-standard configurations that cannot be addressed with off-the-shelf inserts.
ProCore Sliding Door System
Effortless Comfort & Access For Patio Doors
Magnetite® ProCore patio door inserts are designed specifically for sliding patio doors, improving insulation and sound control while maintaining smooth, everyday door operation. These patio door window inserts install on the interior and enhance comfort without replacing your existing door.
A smooth-glide PVC guide channel allows the insert to open and close easily, while a vertical handle strip supports effortless use. ProCore delivers a quieter, more comfortable space while preserving full door functionality.
Quick, Clean & Custom-Fit Installation
Each ProCore system is custom-measured and professionally installed for a clean, built-in finish. As specialized inserts for sliding doors, installation is completed from the interior with no exterior modifications and no construction mess.
Most installations are completed in a single visit, providing an immediate upgrade to comfort and usability.
| Option | Existing Door Stays | Noise Control | Thermal Upgrade | Installation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magnetite Patio Door Insert | Yes | Strong secondary barrier with added air space | Improves insulation and draft control | Interior retrofit with no full replacement |
| Full Patio Door Replacement | No | Depends on frame, glazing and installation | Can provide strong thermal performance | Existing door and frame must be removed |
| Weatherstripping / Caulking | Yes | Mainly addresses gaps | Useful for minor drafts | Low-disruption DIY or repair |
| Thermal or Acoustic Curtains | Yes | Limited compared with sealed secondary glazing | Can reduce some temperature transfer | Simple installation but blocks the view when closed |
| Window Film | Yes | Limited acoustic benefit | Primarily used for solar, glare or UV control | Applied directly to existing glass |
A Magnetite insert is particularly useful when the existing patio door still functions but noise, drafts or temperature transfer remain a problem.

after inside window installed, It’s much much better than before. It blocks noise at least 80%, I don’t hear anything from outside almost. Really appreciate you and your company solving my pain point.Posted on Google![]()

Steve ColeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I work from home and couldn't stand the sound of passing traffic and screaming kids on my street. I got Magnetite windows installed and it cut the noise right down. Of course nothing is 100%, but Magnetite windows made a massive difference. And they cost me next to nothing compared to what brand new soundproof windows would've costed. Alfredo and his team are pros. Highly recommended if you want a more peaceful home for a very reasonable price.Posted on Google![]()

Solid 4.5, thank you to Alfredo and Jaskaran for the setup and installation! There is definitely a noticeable decrease in traffic noise, so it does work. I subtracted 0.5 since there are slight scuffs and marks on new frame, but that’s me being a perfectionist.Posted on Google![]()

Martin and Rashad did an excellent job installing a custom-fit entire floor-to-ceiling wall of Magnetite window inserts for my guest bedroom in my condo. We were having a common issue of some construction noise in a busy Toronto location. The bedroom has been quiet and serene ever since the installation. For the amount of glass, customized fabrication, and professionalism/friendliness from Martin, I think the price was worth it for our result. I highly recommend Martin and would definitely work with him again. Thank you guys!Posted on Google![]()

I was so extremely happy to have found a solution for soundproofing our windows. The level of service provided by Magnetite Canada was exceptional. I had a very tight deadline for the production and installation of the panels, and all my requests were accommodated and treated with utmost care. I am forever grateful for Alfredo for speeding up the production, and for Martin for his excellent and efficient work on the installation. This company is not only professional, but they also treat you with care and attention.Posted on Google![]()

Patio door inserts are custom interior panels designed to fit over existing sliding or patio doors. They create an added insulating layer that improves comfort, reduces noise, and enhances energy efficiency without replacing the original door.
How do patio door window inserts help reduce noise?
Patio door window inserts reduce noise by adding an additional barrier and increasing the air space between the insert and the existing glass. This design helps block outside sound and is especially effective for patios facing busy streets or shared outdoor spaces.
Are patio door inserts available for sliding doors?

Our patio door inserts are available in acrylic. Sometimes referred to as plexiglass door inserts, acrylic inserts are lightweight and impact resistant.
Can patio door inserts improve energy efficiency?

Will patio door inserts affect how my door operates?
Patio door inserts are designed to work alongside your existing door system. They install on the interior side and do not interfere with normal door operation when properly measured and installed.
Are specialized inserts available for large or unique patio doors?
Yes. Specialized inserts are available for oversized doors, multi panel patio doors, and unique configurations. Each insert is custom measured to ensure proper fit, performance, and ease of use.
