Easyfix Magnetglaze Extreme – high grip detachable insulation
Magnetglaze Extreme uses a 25mm magnet and steel, offering a Heavy Duty Magnetic Secondary Glazing solution for use at larger, more draughty windows. It comprises self-adhesive magnetic and metal strips (25mm wide) to be secured to a plastic glazing sheet and window frame respectively. As a result, Magnetglaze Extreme offers both effective thermal insulation and noise reduction whilst also allowing easy removal and access. It can be used with most thicknesses of glazing sheet where additional grip is required. The while steel installed on the frame, or the white foam adhesive on the magnet offer a discreet white finish, however this can be further enhanced with optional Magnetglaze Extreme Finishing Trim for a cleaner look. All the magnetic system available are for internal use only and is not suitable for glass, skylights/overhead windows, or opening windows/doors.
For smaller windows, the standard Magnetglaze system is available where the tapes are 13mm wide rather than 25mm. Magnetglaze can be used with 2-4mm thick plastic panels making it a more cost-effective option when suitable. Please contact us if you are unsure which is required.
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 glazing systems to joint 4mm sheets for easier handling and convenience.
The 5m Kits include a 5m coil of each tape and 2 x Surface Preparation wipes.
There is also a 10m pack which contain 10m 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 30mm mounting space on all sides.
- Add 55mm to both A & B to determine sheet size. This will create the required sheet overlap with the frame on all sides for the 25mm 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 windowsill.
- For the required Magnetglaze Extreme strips, calculate: 2 × (A + 55mm) + 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 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 glazing system that uses the same 13mm magnetic tapes attached directly onto the glazing panel and window frame.
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.
