Thermal Comfort

Cool in summer and warm in winter- create a comfortable environment

There are many aspects of a building that affect its thermal performance.  Windows are one of the largest contributors of heat gain or loss and this is determined by the combined effect of the glass, frame and seals.  By installing Magnetite you will create a comfortable and sustainable environment all year round. 

Magnetite uses an optical grade acrylic glazing, which is up to six times more thermally efficient than glass.  Our PVC sub-frame creates a thermal break from your existing window frame while our airtight magnetic seals eliminate draughts.  These features allow Magnetite to provide a more constant and comfortable room temperature.  This means that you will sleep better at night and be more productive during the day.

Condensation

The installation of Magnetite can reduce condensation appearing on windows. Reducing condensation can protect the health of your family by preventing mould growth. Less condensation can also prolong the life of window furnishings and sills. Magnetite can help, as part of a holistic approach, minimize condensation on your windows. For more information, see our  Case Study on  Condensation.

Magnetite’s retrofit double glazing is one of the quickest and most convenient ways to upgrade your existing windows thermal performance and achieve significant energy savings at the same time.

Our Projects

We are positioned as one of Australia’s leading retrofit double glazing specialist.  In addition to our vast experience in insulating residential homes we have been involved with thermal insulation projects for hospitals, hotels, commercial offices and government buildings.  Our broad range of experience extends to initiatives such as the Solar Schools Program and Building the Education Revolution.  Our franchise network brings a wealth of expertise from projects across Australia and New Zealand throughout diverse climate zones.

Proven Results

Our system is designed to meet the specific requirements of your situation.  Our clear panels will maximise natural light into a room to allow passive heating in winter or we can use a range of solar control films for glare control and to minimise radiant heat during summer.  Tests by the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) have proven that installing the Magnetite system can improve a windows' summer performance by 56% and the winter performance by 81%.  Technical Data and Results
