Magnetite for Residential Application

Most residential developments in Singapore are equipped with single glazed windows that offer only low protection against the noise of the urban buzz of our city and transmit the heat of the tropical sunshine into homes. 

Changing all your windows to new high-end soundproof and thermally efficient double-glazed windows can be costly and many building developments do not permit any changes that impact the look of the façade, which often prohibits a window change in developments like condos and BTOs. 

With the Magnetite Retrofit Double Glazing System we can overcome this challenge and turn the existing windows of your home into high-performing double-glazed windows with no need for hacking while being invisible from the outside. Our Magnetite Noise Shield achieves up to 70% noise reduction on your existing window, while our Magnetite Heat Shield reduces up to 70% thermal heat gain and can save you up to 20% of your cooling cost.

Noise Pollution in Singapore

The Singapore National Environmental Agency allows construction noise up to 55 dBA during the night and up to 90 dBA during the day. The WHO (World Health Organisation) guidelines for community noise is considerably less, at 30 dBA in bedrooms during the night for a sleep of good quality and less than 35 dBA in classrooms to allow good teaching and learning conditions. The WHO guidelines for night noise recommend less than 40 dBA outside of bedrooms to prevent adverse health effects from night noise.

Noise pollution can significantly impact our health and wellbeing. Not only is it much more challenging to concentrate in a noisy study and work environment, the increased stress levels due to noise exposure can lead to physiological effects, such as raised heart rate and blood pressure, not to speak of the adverse effect of disturbed sleep. To protect your familie’s health and comfort we advise you to get an assessment on your windows and doors. 

Excessive heat can be very uncomfortable and make areas of your home unusable during certain times of the day. If windows aren’t sealing tightly and are not well insulated they can impact the performance of the airconditioning system significantly, making it more costly to run and less environmentally friendly due to the additional use of energy. 

The easiest and most cost efficient solution to soundproof your windows and to reduce heat transmission is to install our Magnetite Retrofit Double Glazing. Offering outstanding value the system is invisible from the outside, installed quickly and without hacking below the cost of a new high-end window while giving you similar performance. The panels are fully custom-made to fit your needs – we tailor the thickness of the acrylic glazing, the opening system and the size of the air cavity to fit your acoustic and thermal insulation requirements. We back this service up with a 7-year warranty.
