The EasyFix MagnetGlaze Secondary Glazing Kit is for homeowners and renters seeking a non-permanent, effective way to improve home insulation and reduce drafts. Its key benefit is providing an insulating air gap without drilling or damaging existing window frames, offering a discreet and professional finish. A key consideration is that polycarbonate glazing sheets are not included and must be sourced separately. This kit utilizes a magnetic and steel adhesive tape system for straightforward installation and easy removal, making it ideal for various living spaces.

The kit includes 1 x 5m Magnetic Tape and 1 x 5m Steel Tape. It does not include the polycarbonate glazing sheets.
No, the MagnetGlaze system uses strong adhesive tapes and does not require any drilling or permanent fixtures.
It is suitable for most standard window frames, provided the surface is smooth, clean, and non-porous for optimal adhesion. It is not designed for heavily textured or unpainted wood frames without preparation.
The longevity of the adhesive depends on the surface preparation and environmental conditions. With proper installation on a clean surface, it is designed for long-term use and can be removed and reapplied.
This system is specifically designed for use with polycarbonate glazing sheets due to their flexibility and lighter weight, which are compatible with the magnetic attachment method.
While the air gap provides some insulation and can reduce minor external noise, it is not a dedicated soundproofing solution. Its primary benefit is thermal insulation.
The system can be gently pulled apart at the magnetic tape. The adhesive tapes can then be carefully peeled off the window frame. Any minor residue can be cleaned with a mild adhesive remover.
Ensure the window frame surface is meticulously cleaned and completely dry. Use a degreaser if necessary. For very porous surfaces, consider a suitable primer or sealant before applying the tape.
Check that the magnetic and steel tapes are correctly aligned and pressed firmly together. Ensure the polycarbonate panel is cut to the correct size and not over-flexed. Reinforce with additional tape if needed, ensuring proper contact.
Take your time during application. Apply the tape to the frame first, then carefully align and press the panel into place. Having a second person to help guide the panel can be beneficial.
Gently remove residue using a mild adhesive remover or a mixture of warm water and soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the frame finish.
