About Us Magnetite manufactures and installs a retrofit double glazing system that is designed to reduce noise, increase thermal comfort and create energy efficiency. Magnetite’s system is an innovative technology that attaches an optical grade acrylic panel to your existing window using magnetic seals. It was first developed by an energy physicist, Kenneth Foster, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Centre for Innovation in 1981, as an alternative to traditional double glazing. The Managing Directors of Magnetite, Ben Lafleur and Adrian Lafleur, took up the Australian operations in 1998 and started delivering it to homes throughout Sydney. Since then we have continued to expand. We now operate a network of twelve franchises across Australia and New Zealand. Our extensive residential experience had led to many homeowners now enjoying comfortable and quality living since installing Magnetite. We also manage a broad commercial client base that includes corporate, industry and government organisations. Awards Our approach to a commercially successful and responsible company is demonstrated by recent business awards • 2009 Australian Business Awards: Awarded Best Value Product & Service Excellence • 2008 Australia’s Smart 50 Companies: Magnetite was ranked 38th The Solution for Comfortable Living Your home is your sanctuary but there are many factors that can reduce the quality of your living environment and the ability to enjoy a healthy and stress free lifestyle. Window glazing is a major feature of your home’s design. Many existing homes have single glazed windows, which provide minimal noise and thermal insulation. Magnetite’s retrofit double glazing system achieves a complete and sustainable solution providing significant results. Our team of estimators and installers listen to the needs of our customers to provide the best outcome for their home. We back this service up with a seven year warranty. We customise our secondary window solutions to your home and needs. We deliver this by tailoring the thickness of glazing and the size of the air cavity to fit your acoustic and thermal insulation requirements. Magnetite's results have been proven and tested through third party accredited organisations. Acoustic insulation, thermal comfort and energy efficiency are major benefits of double glazing. Many homeowners are choosing Magnetite’s retrofit double glazing for a variety of other reasons: Heritage and Period Homes – antique, stained and leadlight windows can be insulated without being replaced and without any change to the appearance of your home or window Strata and Apartments - installation can be completed without any changes to the exterior of the building Sustainable Living – reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through lower energy use and a lower impact on the environment by using existing materials instead of replacement windows that create waste Government Initiatives – Magnetite was available for funding under the Green Loans scheme and the BER scheme introduced by the federal government. Unfortunately the Green Loans scheme has been cancelled but we are always on the lookout for other government initiatives that help Australians create a greener, cleaner future. Property Value – double glazing your existing windows will increases your property value by improving the comfort of the home without compromising the character of the windows Flexibility – the Magnetite system is able to be used on most types of residential windows, doors and skylights including sash windows, timber windows, sliding windows, casement windows, bi-fold doors and multi-panel windows
