Vancouver Acrylic Storm Windows
Here at Magnetite Canada, we specialize in Acrylic Storm Windows Retrofit Double Glazing Windows. If you are interested in saving money on energy bills, you can use our energy efficient windows that keep the heat in and the cold out. We also offer soundproof windows that help eliminate up to 70% of outside noise and allow you to enjoy a quiet and peaceful home environment.
Due to the properties of glass, your windows are the greatest conductor of noise in a building. If your home or office is near a train, airfield, or busy highway, you are likely aware of noise pollution, which can impact your quality of life. This also has a detrimental effect on your comfort, property value, and health.
Magnetite Canada’s retrofit double glazing is a simple and affordable way to solve these noise problems.
How does noise travel through your windows?
Sound vibrates from the outside and conducts noise, leading to increased indoor noise.
Leaky windows and poor seals will cause air infiltration between window joints.
To reduce sound infiltration, a window system should have minimal air infiltration, possess an insulating air cavity, and have enough weight to limit acoustic vibration.
Magnetite Canada’s Answer: Interior Storm Windows for Noise and Energy Reduction
Our double glazing retrofit system is unique and is designed specifically as an interior and secondary system. We magnetically attach a virgin acrylic-grade glazing panel to the interior of your existing window. This creates an airtight cavity between the window and your Magnetite system.
The air cavity acts as an insulation buffer against noise transference and seals air infiltration and drafts, which cause noise. Our product has been CSA tested to allow virtually zero air infiltration.
Your Windows Can Start Saving Our Environment
Magnetite Canada is working with Canadians to ensure your windows will perform for you and for the environment. Due to the thermal conductivity of glass, it has been proven that glass is the greatest source of energy loss in any building, with more than 50% of that loss going right through your windows.
Our storm window double glazing is a sustainable investment with no fixed term and offers a range of energy and environmental benefits. In many instances, our customers recoup their initial investment within the first six years of purchasing our product through energy savings alone.

Carbon Footprint – Interior heating and cooling are a direct cause of carbon emissions, which can be reduced by insulating windows and creating a greener building or home.

Do I need to replace my existing windows first?
No! A retrofit system is installed on the interior of your current windows instead of replacing the whole window unit.
