Creating Building Efficiency

Windows create harmony between inside and outside spaces; from the beauty, they add to a building facade to the natural light they bring in. However, inefficient commercial windows can be the greatest source of heat gain or loss and noise pollution in a building. This can add to the running costs of the building and decrease the efficiency of staff performance.

Magnetite has developed a reputation as a leader in both acoustic and thermal window insulation. We offer cost effective, proven and tested products for reducing energy use and noise in existing building. With extensive knowledge and experience in glazing requirements, we customise solutions to assist you in achieving the best results on your project. With over 25 years of experience, Magnetite has been involved with noise and thermal insulation in commercial projects for hospitals, hotels, schools, office buildings, restaurants, heritage listed properties and government buildings across New Zealand.

We operate through a network of licensed and qualified fabricators, estimators and installers. Magnetite's fabricators are located throughout the North Island.
