Easyfix Magnetglaze Pro – Deluxe Magnetic Insulation

Magnetglaze Pro is available in 2.44m or 1.22m lengths in White or Brown and are either sold individually or in bulk packs of 10 lengths. The lengths come with both tapes applied along with Mitre beads for each length to insert into the edging when cutting to avoid chipping and help achieve a neat mitre.

1. Measure the window area between where the inside edge of the steel strip will be applied (vertical = A, horizontal = B), ensuring at least 20mm mounting space on all sides.
2. Add 28mm to both A & B to determine sheet size. This will create the required sheet overlap with the frame on all sides for the capping and tapes.
3. For added support and making it easier to replace the glazing pane in alignment you can consider sizing the sheet so the bottom edge sits on the window sill. The Pro system capping will sit around 2mm outside the edge of the glazing sheet once fitted.
4. For your Magnetglaze Pro lengths you will require 2 lengths at A + 33mm and 2 lengths at B + 33mm. Add these together to work out how many lengths of each size you need.

Tools required are a fine-toothed saw, mitre block, tape measure, scissors and a pencil.

1. Clean and degrease the window frame using Easyfix® Surface Preparation Wipes.
2. Remove the white metal tape from the length of Magnetglaze Pro.
3. Measure the side of the glazing pane and add 3mm and cut this length of Magnetglaze Pro squarely, repeat for all four sides.
4. Insert the mitre bead and using the outer corner as reference cut a 45 degree mitre on each end using the mitre block and fine toothed saw, repeat for all lengths.
5. Now fit the Magnetglaze Pro to the edges of the panel.
6. Hold the sheet to the window frame, ensuring equal overlap on all sides. An extra pair of hands will help here where possible.
7. Trace around sheet with a pencil on the window frame.
8. Apply the white metal strip just inside the pencil lines.
9. For optimal adhesion, leave the panel off for 24 hours before regular use to give the adhesive best chance to bond properly before loading.
10. Click the panel into place.

Magnetglaze Sash Kits allow conversion into multiple panels using a jointing strip that maintains the thermal seal (for 4mm sheets only).

Mitre blocks are available to purchase to help cut the 45-degree ends required for the picture frame finish.

Packing Strips are a self-adhesive plastic strip that can be fitted to the frame before the steel strip to raise the glazing sheet off the mounting surface a little further to help sit it proud of any protruding staff beads.

Surface Preparation Wipes can be used to clean and degrease any surfaces before sticking the tapes in place.

Antistatic Spray can be used to diffuse the static charge on the sheet when the films have been removed to help prevent the attraction of dust and particles from the air.

Microfibre cloths can be used to clean the sheets without scratching the glazing panels.

Magnetglaze: Is a simple magnetic system that uses the same 13mm magnetic tapes attached directly onto the glazing panel and window frame.

Magnetglaze Extreme: A stronger version of Magnetglaze with wider 25.4mm tape for larger or draughtier windows.

Magnetglaze Pro Extreme: Like Magnetglaze Pro but this system has the 25mm wide tapes with a plastic capping for a sleek finish on larger, draughty windows.

Can I paint the tapes to match my current window colour?
Yes, you can paint both the Steel tape and the Finishing Trims to match your window as long as you use an appropriate paint.

Do the lengths come with the magnetic tapes applied or do I need to order the tapes as well?
The Magnetglaze Pro lengths have both the magnetic and steel tape applied so you do not need to purchase additional fixing tapes.
