Easyfix Magnetglaze – Detachable Magnetic Glazing
Magnetglaze is an easy-to-install internal magnetic secondary glazing system from the Easyfix® range. It uses self-adhesive magnetic and metal strips (13mm wide) to secure a plastic glazing sheet to a window frame, helping improve both thermal insulation and noise reduction whilst also allowing easy removal and access. This cost effective, detachable secondary glazing option can be used with 2mm , 3mm or 4mm thickness glazing sheets. When in place, the white foam adhesive on the back of the black magnet is visible, however, the look can be further enhanced by use of the optional Magnetglaze Finishing Trim, resulting in a cleaner look. Please check out our images for a visual representation of this. We recommend Magnetglaze is for internal use only and is not suitable for glass, skylights/overhead windows, or opening windows/doors.
A stronger version, Magnetglaze Extreme, with 25mm wide strips, is ideal for larger or draughtier windows. If you are unsure whether your window requires the Extreme version please contact us.
For larger windows or windows that require a split panel there are Magnetglaze Sash Kits. This add on kit can be used alongside any of the magnetic fixing systems to joint 4mm sheets for easier handling and convenience. You therefore have a magnetic secondary glazing option for windows of all sizes.Â
The 5m Kits include a 5m coil of each tape and 2 x Surface Preparation wipes. These can be purchased individually or in a pack of 3 x 5m Kits.
There is also a 30m bulk pack which contain 30m of each tape in convenient dispenser boxes for easier handling.
- 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.
- Add 25mm to both A & B to determine sheet size. This will create a sheet overlap with the frame of 12.5mm on all sides for the tapes.
- 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.
- For Magnetglaze strips, calculate: 2 × (A + 25mm) + 2 × B.
Tools required to fit are a tape measure, pencil and a strong pair of scissors.
- Clean and degrease the window frame using Easyfix® Surface Preparation Wipes.
- Cut and apply magnetic strip to the plastic sheet edges on one side.
- Hold sheet to window, ensuring equal overlap on all sides.
- Trace around sheet with a pencil on the window frame.
- Apply the white metal strip just inside the pencil lines.
- For optimal adhesion, leave the panel off for 24 hours before regular use to give the adhesive best chance to bond properly before loading.
- Click the panel into place.
Magnetglaze Finishing Trim is a decorative 20mm wide self-adhesive strip (white or brown) to cover edges for a neat finish. It can be fitted retrospectively.
Magnetglaze Sash Kits allow conversion into multiple panels using a jointing strip that maintains the thermal seal (for 4mm sheets only).
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 film 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 Extreme: A stronger version with wider 25.4mm tape for larger or draughtier windows.
Magnetglaze Pro: Uses the same 13mm magnetic tapes attached to a plastic capping that fits over the edge of the glazing sheet for an enhanced appearance.
Magnetglaze Pro Extreme: Like Magnetglaze Pro, 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.
