Magne Glaze

We add secondary glazing to most window types. Our speciality and expertise lies uniquely in the insulation of sash windows, whatever their age and condition. Even if they are out of square! The addition of the extra panel against the window frame creates a much wider gap than conventional double-glazing (typically only 20mm max). The fat parcel of air trapped between the two panes acts as the insulant and the inner pane warms up. Cold air no longer drops down the window. Draughts are eliminated; the wide gap is good for noise reduction.

It is advisable to remove these panels during the summer months and store away safely. Store in the original packaging in an upright position. Temperature in the cavity can rise to 50C which is not good for the Acrylic or the TESA adhesive. From time to time go around and free off panels that are permanently in position. The power of the magnets continuously pulls the two surfaces together, so lift a corner, separate all round and replace. Clear Cast Acrylic is brighter than glass. We can supply a plastic cleaner and anti-static polish that keeps your panels in sparkling condition.

The idea of using magnets for secondary glazing was adopted in 1994 by Richard Cutts for the purpose of providing a low-cost, easy install, but highly versatile system. Richard felt that by adapting and improving an existing DIY product (magnet to steel) with wider strips, and adding magnet to magnet applications, a wider range of window types could be tackled. The result is a more robust and durable system and over 10 years' fitting experience. Multi-polarized magnetic strips combine together on the frame edge and hold the panels exactly in place.

Magneglaze fitted to sash and casement windows, including colour-matching, can be seen at our main office in Shropshire TF11 8JP. Please ring to arrange a viewing at any reasonable time.
