Magnetic Insulating Windows - Stay Cool in Summer - Warm in Winter

Reduction In Heat Transfer...62%.

Magnetic Insulating Windows are not storm windows or typical replacement windows. Magnetic Insulating Windows install on the inside of your home over existing windows.

 

A Magnetic Thermo Barrier

Cut-Away Diagram of Magnetic Window
Magnetic Insulating Windows bridges the window cavity, creating a thermal barrier. They keep heat in during the winter months and heat out during the summer.

They are made of vinyl and acrylic - superior insulating materials. Vinyl and Acrylic do not conduct or lose heat nearly as fast as materials like aluminum and glass. Our vinyl and acrylic windows help reduce drafts and condensation.

The Magnetic Insulating Window's magnetic seal is virtually airtight (similar to your refrigerator door). By installing the Magnetic Insulating Window over an existing window cavity, an insulating air space is created. The Magnetic Insulating Window separates the warm inside air from the cold prime window glass.

And with our exclusive bellows design that expands or contracts as temperatures change, the seal is maintained and annoying drafts are eliminated. The flexible bellows also adjust for installation on contoured molding.

 

Magnetic Insulating Windows Makes Your Home More Comfortable And Offers Many Advantages

You can now insulate your windows with a custom built, removable acrylic window that magnetically attaches to the inside of your existing windows. It is insulation for your windows that fits over any size, style or type of window.

Whether you live in the far north, or the deep south, the need for home insulation to keep your energy costs low and your living environment comfortable is a reality.

Air Filtration

Air Infiltration
Air Filtration through most 30-inch x 60-inch double-hung windows is like having a 12 square inch hole in the window.

When an aluminum storm window is installed, air infiltration is only reduced to 7 sq. inches or a hole 2-1/2" x 3". A magnetic insulating window will reduce air infiltration to 1 square inch.

Air filtration can be experienced by feeling cold air move across floors. It can be seen by watching drapes and shades move, and it can be heard whistling through the windows. Magnetic window seals are similar to your refrigerator door gasket, when the refrigerator is shut, it is air tight.

 

How Do Magnetic Windows Compare to Exterior Storm Windows?

Outside storm windows are designed to protect prime windows from the weather, not to insulate. They are made of aluminum and glass, two very conductive materials. They do not insulate well because they are designed to be loose enough to slide up and down and have water weep holes.

Many times you can see light through the mitered corners and weep holes at the bottom to let moisture out.

 

Heat Loss in BTU's Per Hour

When this happens the insulating effect begins reducing radiant heat loss by 60 percent, lessening the cold wall effect. A magnetic window actually has a better R-value (resistance to heat loss) than most insulated or thermopane glass (2 layers of glass with a dead air space between them).

The reason for this is that acrylic is more of an insulator and is less of a conductor. Magnetic windows also create the optimum air space which is 1-3 inches, a natural thermal barrier. Most residential insulated glass has less than 3/4" space.

What Else Makes Our System Better?

The design of the magnetic frame is unique. Inside the clip that holds the acrylic are 4 rubber "shark teeth" to hold and secure the acrylic.

The magnet itself is held into position by two compression fitted prongs.

Magnetic insulating windows has a flexible bellow between the clip and the magnet that flexes with the acrylic. This assures that even when the acrylic is expanding and contracting, the magnet to steel contact will always be solid.

If the magnetic insulating window did not have a flexible bellow the magnet would rock or tilt back and forth on the steel loosing its solid contact.

Without solid contact a strong gust of wind, or sudden change in temperature could cause thermal detactment (air leaking between the magnet and steel), or cause the magnetic window to come loose or fall from its position.

If the surface where the "L" angle is installed is not flat or perpendicular to the magnet, you would not have a good magnet-to-steel-contact. But with the magnetic insulating window system the bellow makes up for any angle of the steel, and allows for solid contact and a perfect seal.

 

Do I Need A Metal Window To Have Magnetic Windows?

No.
We can basically cover any size, shape or style of window by installing a steel "L" angle to create the magnetic field.

We discourage flat steel because of its rate of failure compared to "L" angle. "L" angle has foam tape for insulating purposes, but is also nailed or screwed to hold forever. Flat steel cannot be nailed.

 

The Physics Of Heat Is That It Is Always Drawn Towards The Coldest Temperature

Magnetic Windows Save You Money
Lay your hand on an aluminum ice cube tray. What do you feel? You feel your hand get cold. What actually happened is that heat was drawn out of your hand, that is why your hand print was left on the tray.

This is what happens in your home or office. When the glass and frames of your windows are cold, wet, or frosted, they continually draw heat from the room on to the cold surface. This is called conductive heat loss.

 

Another Form Of Conductive Heat Loss Is Frost, Condensation and Moisture Buildup

Condensation is caused when warm moist interior air touches cold glass, then forms condensation and possibly freezes. Not only does this draw expensive heat from the room, but it is unsightly and clouds the view.

Moisture also causes mold and mildew. It discolors and damages plaster, paint, paneling, window frames and wallpaper.

When warm moist air does not touch the cold glass frames, the condensation doesn't appear, a feature of magnetic inteior windows.

 

Magnetic Insulating Windows - Historic Homes

Magnetic Interior Windows can be used in historic homes, because they have little effect on interior or exterior architecture.

Magnetic Interior Windows can reduce drafts providing energy savings during heating and cooling seasons.

Magnetic Interior Windows reduce exterior sound transmission through windows.

Magnetic Insulating Windows are custom-made to go almost anywhere. In fact Magnetic Insulating Windows are an ideal choice in churches, schools, hospitals and nursing homes...any commercial/industrial building where outside window installation is impractical and window replacement too expensive.

Magnetic Insulating Windows are simply and easily installed.
