How are MAGNETITE Windows cleaned?

The acrylic glazing and frames may be cleaned with MAGNETITE acrylic cleaner or a mild detergent (3% in lukewarm water).  Dry with a clean, damp cloth or chamois.  We provide a complimentary bottle of acrylic cleaner at the time of installation.   Additional MAGNETITE brand cleaner may be ordered through our sales department, or the customer may purchase other brands of acrylic cleaner at cost grocery stores.  IMPORTANT:  Do not use Windex or other brands of glass cleaner which contain ammonia, as the ammonia may damage the acrylic panels.

What about maintenance?

Our windows provide a maintenance-free, airtight seal, year after year.   You can count on a lifetime of dependable service from the high quality components used in manufacturing our windows.  Cleaning is the only care required.

Why is acrylic used instead of glass?

Although Optical Grade Acrylic costs considerably more than glass, our acrylic provides many benefits:

Will MAGNETITE Windows make our home more quiet?

YES!  Another advantage of acrylic is its sound deadening properties which allow this system to reduce outside noise by as much as 70%.   Now you will not be disturbed by loud music in the cars that drive by, the neighbor's dog barking, or by someone else's lawnmower early in the morning.

Will acrylic yellow or crack?

NO!  Unlike the thermo-plastic sheeting that you may purchase at the local hardware store, we use an optical grade 100% virgin acrylic which contains no styrene or other monomers that will deteriorate causing yellowing, cracking and checking.  Through both labraratory and actual outdoor testing, over the last 20 years, 100% optical grade acrylic has proven again and again not to yellow, crack or check.
