Easyfix Magnetglaze Sash Heavy Duty – 4mm Panel Insulation
The Magnetglaze Sash Kits are an add-on system to be used alongside any of the easy-to-install internal magnetic secondary glazing systems from the Easyfix® range. The Sash Kit comprises a rigid jointing strip and Bristle Seal to securely join 4mm panels while maintaining a thermal seal. These strips allow panels to be removed or replaced easily for airflow or insulation.
Bulk Kit: For 4 windows up to 1500mm wide (includes 4 H Strips, 12m Bristle Seal, clips, screws, 2 wipes)
Half Kit: For 2 windows (includes 2 H Strips, 6m Bristle Seal, clips, screws, 1 wipe)
- Choose the appropriate Magnetic fixing system and follow those specific measuring instructions as if fitting a single pane. You need to order enough of this system as if fitting a single pane.
- Once you have worked out the size of the pane required split the height between two sheets to locate the Sash Kit join so it matches the original window setup and is discreet as possible.
- You then need to order the two sheets along with enough of the chosen magnetic system per window. You will then need to order either the Sash Half kit(2x 1500mmlengths) or Bulk Kits(4 x 1500mm lengths) to provide enough of the jointing system to fit your total number of windows.
Tools required to fit are a fine-toothed saw, tape measure, pencil and a strong pair of scissors.
- Clean and degrease the window frame using Easyfix® Surface Preparation Wipes.
- Cut and apply magnetic fixing system to the 3 edges that will be in contact with the frame and repeat for both sheets.
- Measure the gap between the magnetic strips on the open side and cut 2 lengths of Bristle Seal to this length, one for each pane.
- Stick the Bristle Seal to the sheets in this gap but ON THE OTHER SIDE TO THE MAGNETS adjacent to the edge.
- Now cut a length of the rigid Jointing Strip to the same length as the Bristle Seal and fit the narrow channel over the Bristle Seal on the sheet that will remain in place more frequently, this will stay attached to this pane throughout normal use.
- Hold the jointed sheet to window, ensuring equal overlap on all sides, an extra pair of hands will help here.
- 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.
- Select the pane with the jointing strip attached and click into place, then insert the other panel into the jointing strip at an angle and then click into place.
- Screw turn button to the window surround to support and secure the panels where required, generally along the bottom edge to prevent the lower pane being pushed out of alignment with the magnetic tapes.
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 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.
How much do I need to reduce the height of the sheets to account for the Sash Kit?
The wall thickness of the Sash Kit is around 1mm to keep things simple we ignore this and just split the overall height of the pane between the two sheets to match the original window split.
