Magnetite Client Testimonials
Graeme
Erskineville NSW
We chose Magnetite for several reasons, and are very happy with it. Magnetite were the only ones to actually bother to come to our house, which we found odd as any renovation is best done by seeing the site, not just ‘sending photos for a [rip-off] quote’. Secondly, the cost of Magnetite was greatly smaller than replacing the period windows themselves with ugly plastic double glazed flimsy looking fittings. And we would have had to remove and put back the security bars as a separate expense.

After a year of challenges with COVID lockdowns in Melbourne in 2021, the Magnetite team were finally able to visit our home to provide a quote in November and install our three window panels in December. We live near a main road and the reduction in noise from traffic and passers-by has been substantial, with the result that our rooms are much quieter and noticeably cooler.

To be quite candid, I had vaguely heard of Magnetite some years ago, but was always in two minds about things retrofitted. Our 35 year old western aspect home has floor to ceiling wood frame west facing colonial windows that run along the west side of the house. The heat loss through the winter months has always been significant, and even with the two gas burners on, we have never felt really comfortable in the house.
Yet, I had preconceived notions about magnetite; I thought that the treatment was of limited effectiveness, and we were worried about the aesthetics of the product. Of course we were completely wrong.
A friend came over, and sat in the family room looking out of the window for over an hour, exactly where the magnetite treatment had been completed and yet failed to see the magnetite. He was pleasantly surprised that the high grade Perspex was so clear that, until we pointed it out, he hadn’t registered it was there. So if you think the treatment is going to detract from the view, I can tell you categorically that it doesn’t. The colonial windows look as they always did and this was a real surprise to us.
And that night, even with only one area of the house treated, the effect was immediate; the kitchen and family room for the first time felt cosy and warm, and only one of the gas heaters was on, and it was the gas heater at the opposite end of the house on a low setting. We couldn’t believe it! I guess if you do the numbers, the savings on gas would probably need to compile for a number of years to get a full return on your investment, but for the first time in 25 years we had felt really comfortable and warm in the home without both gas heaters blasting away on the high setting. It was very noticeably different. There were no cold spots either; they were eliminated with the outside door sealing that was installed; no cold drafting to contend with anymore.
Because of limitations on our budget, we were able to have the work progressively done and plan to finish the treatment before next winter. However the magnetite solution was a fraction of the cost (less than a third of what we expected from any other alternative) and the effect has been way above any expectation we ever had. We are so grateful we looked around!
In our view, if you are looking around for a solution to your heating (or cooling) issues, before you spend tens of thousands of dollars on replacing windows, check them out.

It is true that we are delighted with our magnetite installation. The noise factor has been significantly reduced. The installation was pain free & attended to by delightful technicians. Also as compared to our previous installation 5 years ago, this installation is stress-free, easy to operate & care for.
Vicky
Highett VIC
The windows are great and has cut out a lot of the noise for us! So many thanks. We really appreciate the work done too. Was very efficient. And Rob was very helpful. Would definitely recommend if we know of anyone who would like their windows done.

Gorokan NSW
We recently installed Magnetite window insulation at our clinic, which acts like double-glazing. The practice is situated on a busy main road and the south-west side of the building gets cold in winter and hot in summer. Magnetite fits snugly into most window frames and moderates temperature as well as cancels out excessive noise. We are very happy with the result, as the noise, in particular, was disturbing.

Working with the people from Magnetite has been a first class experience. Communications between the admin people in organising install dates and additional work has been handled very professionally.
All work was carried out in a professional tradesman like manner. The product is not obtrusive in the house.
Paul & Donna
Adamstown NSW
Hello Barry, thank you for your excellent work with our double-glazed windows and door seals. We compliment you on the wonderful attention to the difficulty of fitting to our existing windows and doors.
Rob
Cooma ACT
Acting on the initial enquiry Salesman Craig arrived the afternoon of the advised date. He explained the Magnetite system, answered our questions, measured the windows and gave a written quotation.
The quotation was later discussed by us (it was decided only to install on the ‘windy’ side of the house).
The installation of the Magnetite Double Glazing system was decided upon to try to overcome three problems. (Noise was not a problem): • Condensation forming on the glass during winter months • Draught coming through the sash type windows in windy conditions • Save heat losses in winter through the glass areas.
Condensation forming on the windows where the Magnetite is installed has been virtually eliminated while draught coming through the sash windows has been totally eliminated. Heat loss through the glass is hard to measure however it appears that the Magnetite system does make a difference.
The Magnetite panels make no optical difference to the windows. They are almost unnoticed unless pointed out. Note: The Magnetite panels had to be removed to allow a painter to work on the windows. Both the removal and reinstallation of the panels was an easy job.
Summary: The Magnetite Double Glazing system as installed at our residence is worth the money spent.
Jacqueline
Rose bay NSW
Very happy with the whole process. The installer were excellent, polite and went the extra mile to finish off everything beautifully even though one or two little jobs had to be finalised that weren’t directly the installation of Magnetite.
Very pleased with the “can do” attitude of the installers. Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend the company to anyone contemplating this type of installation.
Alan
Sydney NSW
I just wanted you to know what a happy experience dealing with Magnetite has been. Very efficient and an excellent result.
Fiona
Carlton VIC
Further to our conversation today I wanted to again convey our thanks and delight with your product and service. With Magnetite we got the perfect product for our converted church — completely customised and which has actually enhanced the appearance of our period Windows.
I compare it to a picture before it was framed to afterwards. It really looks great.
Once again thanks to you and your great staff for a highly personalised, caring and professional service and a great product.
Margaret
Downer ACT
I want to congratulate you on the professionalism of Josh and Dennis when they were doing the installation. They moved the furniture when necessary and replaced it with great care. They were so clean and tidy. I wouldn’t have known that they’d been there at all. They went about their work in a quiet, efficient manner, answered my questions and gave me options for handles etc.
Barbara
Sutherland NSW
Excellent product. It is so peaceful now as prior to the installation we had the noise of buses, traffic and weekly 5am council bin collection outside our bedroom windows. We definitely sleep much more peacefully and have to check every so often to make sure there is still life still going on outside of our new peaceful home!. All dealings with staff from Magnetite were exceptional and extremely professional. Definitely recommend installation.
Elizabeth

Thank you so much for our new windows, it has made a big difference sound wise. Also thank you for such terrific service, everything was finished when I was told it would be and everyone was great to deal with.
Lisa

Windows are magnificent. I’m so pleased with the results.
Sue
Melbourne vic
Hi Marg and Robert, I am absolutely delighted with my new double glazing. It has made such a difference to the noise level in my apartment. I could not believe last night that I noticed all sorts of different indoor sounds (water in sink, clicking of crockery) that are normally blocked out by my hearing because of the constant background noise within the city.
Christine
Darlinghurst NSW
I live in the inner city with bedroom onto shared light well. Even when they weren’t partying the noise from other occupants was intrusive and maddening at nights especially in summer, can you imagine? Someone suggested double glazing my bedroom window. That was expensive, and the Magnetite panels were an affordable alternative.
My tenants on same light well were having problems with the noise at night. I was happy to solve it for them by installing Magnetite in their bedroom. Same result; nightly peace and joy!
Naturally I have been recommending your product for some years now. I think my construction may be well beyond its 7-yr guarantee by now, but it’s still good. And I trust reconditioning when it becomes necessary will be a matter of remagnetising the panels? If not, then it’d be well worth paying for a new installation.
There’s nothing so precious as a good night’s sleep!
Bev
Wellington New Zealand
I would like to give your product a very large tick. I didn’t realise how much outside noise we could hear until Magnetite was fitted. I must admit though the heat saving we are experiencing is incredible, and with the very low temperatures at the moment it was installed just in time.
Leonie
Brunswick East VIC
Hello all at Magnetite, thank you. The sound proof windows and doors have made a huge differenceto my life, and I am so grateful. Thank you for being so honest and telling me not to expect too much, telling me I can only expect 30% to 40%noise reduction.
My bedroom is now a haven, impenetrable by noise even when the young ones in the building are celebrating.

Jeff
Erskineville NSW
I recently moved to a new unit that overlooks the local bowling club, which has loud music on weekends and a constant stream of social bowlers so the noise can be such that I cant at certain times, hear my tv or my music and as the noise bounces off the next building I feel surrounded I needed ear muffs to peacefully exist.
After some research on soundproofing etc, and contacting many companies, Magnetite was the only one willing to come to my place to measure an obligation free quote. So I decided to give them my business. I had my lounge room & bedroom fitted with Magnetite windows. The difference in sound is immediate, but I had to wait for the weekend for the real test. I can happily report, the windows passed with flying colours. The difference is amazing. I now have a sanctuary to escape the overpowering music and this will make a huge difference to my quality of living here. I will be in this unit for many years to come and now the Magnetite windows have made it perfect. So as a long term investment it is money well spent. The installation went seamless with very professional workers. In addition the windows will assist with cooling in summer and keeping warmth within in winter. I am a satisfied customer.

Hi Greg, thank you very much for the work very well done, the Magnetite provides amazing sound improvements, we had a very quiet night. I don’t need a sound test now, I am more than happy to recommend Magnetite to anyone as the best sound control system. Kind regards
John
Collaroy NSW
For Magnetite Sydney, my wife and I are pleased to add our testimonial to what I’m sure is a growing number of satisfied customers. Having moved from a quiet location to a unit above a surf beach my wife in particular was finding the noise of the waves crashing onto the sand was preventing a good night’s sleep.
The salesman, Sean, quoting the job suggested an improvement of up to 55% of noise reduction on completion.
All staff were courteous, pleasant and professional. The job completed with a minimum of fuss. Thank you so much

Ken/Meyry, quick note to let you know I am extremely pleased with the soundtite installation. The product looks fantastic and we can’t get over the different feel in the apartment with so much sound blocked out. Result has exceeded my expectations by a large amount.

Hi Barry, it gives me great pleasure to write and thank you for your installation of Magnetite at my home at Waratah West. The intrusive,annoying and disturbing noise coming from the nearby ” Gun Club” has been virtually eliminated from inside my home- it is such a relief!
Mr & Mrs Wu
Chatswood NSW
Since having the Magnetite installed on all the windows of our unit facing a street of continuing traffic of cars, trucks and buses, the noise level has been significantly reduced…The appearance of the Magnetite is neat and easily operated…The two workmen who installed the windows were cheerful, well-mannered and did a very good job.
Vivien

Hi Magnetite Team, just wanted to express my thanks to your team for their professional, helpful and informative approaches in their quoting, telephone/ personal dealings, bookings, timeliness and actual installation process.
Congratulations, well done and thank you to Dominik, Craig, Sian and Michael.
John
Sutherland NSW
A big thank you for all your professional and courteous service from start to finish…We’ve had the bedrooms in our unit fitted out with the Magnetite system, and it’s the best investment I’ve done to the place. It’s significantly reduced the noise ie traffic, trains and noisy neighbours.
Tracey & Nolen
Wellington NEW ZEALAND
Our home was so cold we were seriously considering selling. We had magnetite installed on our most wind prone character windows in 2010. We were absolutely delighted with the reduction in noise and heat loss so ordered a bigger installment when our budget allowed in 2011.

Hi, just a quick note to say thank you. We had your system installed in our house. The three installers were fantastic. They were on time, efficient, tidy and very professional. We appreciated the way they worked while in our home and were great representatives of your company. Thank You

We are very happy with Magnetite which you installed in our bedroom in February. The young men were very professional and they did a very neat job. Magnetite achieved its purpose and we are very happy with it!
Bill

You have greatly enhanced our sleep at night, increased our comfort in winter, and reduced our heating bills!
Anna

It is now over 6 months since my Magnetite Windows were installed in my bedroom. They immediately made a noticeable difference to the sound quality in the room, and I have slept better as a result.
All your staff, at each point of the sales and installation process were pleasant, co-operative, helpful and understanding.
Congratulations and Thank You.

Your professionalism has impressed me from my first contact with your company.
Paul & Katie

We purchased magnetite as a simple and low cost solution to eliminating traffic noise. We have a federation house with wonderful picture windows and the double glazing option was not only prohibitively expensive but would have detrimentally altered the appearance of the windows.

Hi Scott, just a quick note to say how wonderful the windows are. I expected an improvement, but the results just blow us all away! Many thanks
Bertha

The service provided by your staff was excellent.
R Leahy
Wellington New Zealand
The system is not only cheaper than standard double glazing, it also has the added advantage that the internal mount installation means that you not only insulate the glass panes, you also very effectively draft-proof the entire window.
Condensation problems have also been almost completely eradicated.
The panels are quite unobtrusive to look at, easy and convenient to move.
The Magnetite guys have also been wonderful with the installation – quick and friendly. I have already recommended this insulation system to several friends and family and would have no problem giving 100% approval.
Stephen
Naremburn NSW
The noise reduction is amazing – for the first time ever I didn’t hear the garbage collector early Tuesday morning.
Janine
Wollstonecraft NSW
I am thrilled! Thank you very much. The outside noise has definitely been cut down by I would say, at least 70%. I am also thrilled with the expertise and professionalism…
Tony
Crows Nest NSW
A brief note to say thanks for finally allowing us the pleasure of a peaceful night’s sleep. Our Victorian terrace house, although being charming and centrally located had one downside – busy street frontage…I have no hesitation in speaking on behalf of this product because I know it works. We can finally catch up on the sleep we’ve been missing.

The road noise has been cut down by at least 80%! We did not find Magnetite too expensive in comparison with other double glazing products.
Craig

Thank you for following through with your product and expertise… It’s made a huge difference and I’m sure you will have more to do in my building.

Living just metres away from a busy container port and railway shunting operation, our job was always going to present a challenge for Magnetite. However as a result of excellent planning and workmanship by Scott, as well as the top class Magnetite product, it has worked completely as advertised.
Christine

Thank you so much. The change your windows have made to my life is extraordinary.

I’m very glad we went ahead with installation of the Magnetite secondary glazing to the bedroom windows exposed to the highway. We have only had a few noise complaints, and given the nature and extent of the works that is very pleasing.

David and his team fitted the sliding door panels. They did a great job. Exactly what I was hoping for. I’d be happy to recommend any work your way.

We would like to thank you and the employees of Magnetite for their recent installation at our premises. At all times we found Magnetite to be courteous and efficient and the job was carried out with the minimum of disruption to our staff and procedures. We would not hesitate in recommending your services to other customers.

Magnetite was approached to offer an acoustic glazing solution to a Heritage Building with noise issues. From day one, the advice and service has been excellent, after hours works were performed cleanly, safely and efficiently and all installation dates promised have been delivered.
First National Real Estate
Cammeray NSW
We wish to express our thanks for recently completing an inside window insulation for a flat that we manageon a major roadway in Sydney. The tenant had been there 12 months and never slept in the front room due to road noise. He now can use that room which is most pleasing to him & the landlord has a far more marketable property for the future.
RTCA Hunter Valley Project Group
Singleton NSW
Dear Barry, further to our discussion and your request for feedback regarding the product and services your company provided via our head contractor Buildcorp for the recent dust and noise mitigation project in Maison Dieu.
Not only have we been able to address residents’ noise and dust concerns, I am extremely pleased with the cost benefit of using a retrofit system, compared to traditional double glazing. The thermal insulation benefits also have an impact which should result in less running costs for the air conditioning units we installed. We welcome the opportunity of working with you again on future projects. Thank you!
