In a fully insulated house almost half the heat lost can be through the windows. Using a unique magnetic-seal system, MagicSeal can greatly reduce heat loss, by up to 54%.
Condensation causes homes to feel chilly and damp and they cost more and more to heat as winter sets in. MagicSeal can reduce this cost by retaining heat for longer and not letting room temperature drop to a level too cold for healthy living.
"It doesn't matter what sort of heating you've got, you've got to be able to retain it somehow," said Steve Rodger, of Designer Screens, which is an agent for MagicSeal.
"MagicSeal can ultimately reduce a power bill, retain heat for longer, take the chill off glass windows, reduce noise, reduce condensation on windows, and any single-glazed window or timber frame can be double-glazed," he added.
HOW IT WORKS
MagicSeal acrylic double-glazing panels are fitted to the inside of the existing window and held in place using MagicSeal's magnetic sealing system. The system traps a layer of still air between the glass windowpane and the MagicSeal secondary glazing. The trapped air provides insulation benefit by reducing the rate of convective heat loss. It also acts as a baffle to reduce sound transmission.
Another benefit of the system is its ability to block the ultraviolet rays which eventually fade furnishings. With an insulating ability superior to thermal curtains, the acrylic panels can make a substantial difference to the warmth and comfort of your home without adding to the power bill.
"The heat is retained and condensation controlled, and that equates to energy savings," said Steve.
Replacing windows can be a messy and invasive process, often involving expensive removal of window frames, and refitting of architraves and window furnishings. MagicSeal involves fitting a discreet "second skin" to your existing window frames in a matter of hours.
KEY BENEFITS
MagicSeal's key benefits:
* Heat transfer through the window is reduced by up to 54%, saving money on heating or cooling.
* The thin insulating airspace created reduces the incidence of ''cold spots'' and draughts, resulting in more even temperature distribution.
* Noise entering the windows from external sources can be reduced by up to 55%, providing more peaceful living conditions.
* Acrylic can prevent the transfer of temperature five times better than glass, providing greater living comfort.
