Magnetite has serviced the Newcastle and Central Coast region since the early 2000s. Jonothan (Jono) Cody has recently picked up the reins, taking over the franchise after a short pause in operations. Prior to Magnetite, Jono spent 20 years working as a glazier, specialising in glass replacement and window and door repairs, and also has small business experience from his time at the helm of a pub in rural NSW
With its coastal climate and proximity to busy roads and rail corridors, the Newcastle & Central Coast region deals with a unique mix of noise and temperature challenges. Alongside his wife Kat, who manages the administrative side of the business, Jono is focused on the knowledge, performance, and customer service that’s made Magnetite retrofit double glazing a trusted way to soundproof and insulate existing windows across the region for over two decades.
For effective, unobtrusive, and reliable double glazing, you can be sure that Jono and his team will deliver the comfort you deserve in your home or office.

Double Glazing Windows Newcastle & Central Coast
Ongoing urban development is bringing higher density housing close to railway stations such as Adamstown, Newcastle Interchange, Hamilton and Kotara, so more Newcastle & Central Coast homes now sit near rail corridors and busy roads. Magnetite retrofit double glazing is one of the most effective ways to reduce that noise, whether it’s passing trains, busy arterial roads or noisy neighbours.
In acoustic lab testing, Magnetite improved the sound insulation rating of a standard single glazed window by up to 70%, making your home or office noticeably quieter. The system installs onto the window sill or reveal, so your existing window stays in place and unaltered. A magnetic seal keeps the panel airtight, and the air gap between the panel and your window acts as a thermal and acoustic barrier.
Magnetite also improves the thermal performance of your existing windows, helping keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, with the benefits of double glazing and none of the hassle of replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does double glazing really reduce noise in a home near a busy road or rail line?
