West Coast Reglaze -Affordable Window Solutions
Magnetite has been designed to work with your existing windows. A small unobtrusive, light gauge steel frame fits around the inside perimeter of the window and the Magnetite panels attach magnetically to the frame. Our optical grade acrylic panels won’t affect the aesthetics of a window. Because Magnetite doesn't require any changes to the original window or exterior siding it is also perfect for heritage listed windows.
Magnetite is a quick and easy cost effective solution to your window problems. Magnetite was invented over 20 years ago by energy physicist Kenneth Foster at the MIT Center for Innovation in Boston, Massachusetts and is now available in B.C. Canada.
In a typical insulated house 40% of the energy loss is through your windows. This can amount to hundreds of dollars being wasted on heating and cooling your home. Magnetite will save you money year after year! For anyone living with single pane windows this problem can be of some concern as single pane windows have a R-value of less than 1!! R-value ratings are used for measuring a material’s ability to resist the flow of heat. Some windows and doors are rated by U-value. U-value is the opposite of R-value. While R-value measures a material’s ability to resist the flow of heat, U-value measures the ability to conduct heat.
