Like it says on the box
I received two quotes, both comparable, but magnetite was much more responsive to inquiries.
The job was to retrofit a "Soundtite" door to a 3 glass panel floor to ceiling glass sliding door. The job was done in a few hours, and matched the existing glass door perfectly.
From measurement through installation they were very professional and the noise reduction estimates given by the consultant were bang on to what was achieved, around 50%.
I have a matching spare room and intend to do the same thing to it next year.
Very happy and would recommend Magnetite.

Pretty good noise reduction
From lodging online inquiry to the boys showing up for installation, the process has been amazing. Jim came out within a week for a quote and measure. That was sent to me within a day or so. Job booked. Done. turn around time was about 2 months but this was xmas time so had to expect a delay.
The boys who installed were great. Really friendly and got the job done in about half a day. They left the place very clean too.
Noise reduction has been good. I think when getting these you need to understand that the traffic noise is not going to dis...Read more

agnetite retrofit double glazing. As Magnetite also provides thermal insulation, it means that the house will stay at a more stable temperature longer. During a heat wave the house will inevitably warm up which is why our secondary systems are operable to allow you to cool the house in the evening if required. If you have direct sun light on the windows, we can further reduce the heat using our range of solar control films. We are sure you will feel the added thermal insulation this winter. Please let us know if we can assist further. Regards, the Magnetite team.

So impressed
From my first enquiry, measure up, quotation and installation the whole process was seamless and very professional. The installers were punctual, friendly and very efficient. I can't believe the temperature difference it has made to our front rooms. We can now use the front study in the afternoon since the Magnetite retrofit double glazing has been fitted as it is 60-70% cooler - so impressed. I can certainly recommend the SA Magnetite team.

Great noise reduction
We had several windows and the front door treated. Before Magnetite we were often bothered by train noise at night now we can barely hear if its even raining outside. Magnetite is excellent to reduce street level noise and the most cost effective way. Everyone is sleeping soundly at night thanks to Magnetite.

Recommended for secondary window installation!
Have used Magnetite twice nice and both times very happy with the result. Significant noise reduction, and also keeps the temperature better inside. Not cheap to do, and there is about a 2 month wait time, but otherwise highly recommended.

Happy customer! fulfilled our hopes for significant noise reduction
We live in a small house on the corner of 2 roads which are very busy on schooldays. We chose Magnetite to reduce noise levels inside. The salesperson from the Adelaide Magnetite team was helpful and advised that the thicker perspex window panels could help reduce noise by up to 70%. The whole process from measure and quote to installation (which took place over 2 days) was very efficient - about 2 weeks from quote to completion. We had panels installed in the lounge and main bedroom and the hallway between these 2 rooms plus insulation install...Read more
ed around the front door. Internal blinds had to be rehung which the Magnetite team did for us. Admittedly the bedroom blinds no longer keep all the light out (there are a couple of chinks of light) but the noise reduction has been great and just what we hoped for. In the lounge very little traffic noise can be heard - and noise has also been significantly reduced (estimate 80-85%) in the bedroom. Specifically, normal car noises are not heard but truck and bus brakes (which are lower pitched) are still sometimes heard but are muffled. Definitely recommend Magnetite for noise reduction and a good night's sleep!1 comment

Excellent and knowledgeable staff, excellent process, excellent product
We had a very high large triangular west-facing window in our living room with heat/sun glare problems, and difficult access requiring scaffold. The initial quote and site visit by Jim was exceptional - he understood our issues and provided lots of follow up information on heat loads including a second site visit to be sure we were happy with our film selection and understood product benefits/look & feel. Our second Magnetite representative, Glenn, was very professional and helpful on the remeasure and scaffold install and we felt he took extra...Read more
care and helped us as much as he could to make it less painful (i was home with a small baby). The film installer was super fast and the Magnetite installers were also very fast. I thought the end-to-end process and follow-up by Magnetite was exceptional - perhaps only could be improved by having the initial quoter (Jim) return at the end of the job to find out how the process went and by emailing through the warranty / care instructions in softcopy as well as hard copy - we received an envelope on the day but it wasn't really explained what was inside the envelope. It was only that I asked a lot of questions to the guys and the installer fetched a can of special cleaning product and then told me never to use Windex on Magnetite! Thank God I asked! I also assumed they would email the bill but it was actually inside the envelope! Oops, with a baby I hadn't gotten around to opening the envelope as I thought it was just the warranty information. These are minor improvements to an otherwise excellent process and product! It has made a big difference to heat and sun glare and is worth the expense! It's not cheap but as a retro-fitting solution is perfect.1 comment

Refused to repair damage
Magnetite installed double glazing in a large double height living room window and a tall bedroom window. The double glazing was very expensive, costing many $1000s, and has reduced noise to some extent. The promised benefits in a more even temperature have not been achieved. During the measuring and installation, the workers put a ladder on the wide window ledge and have cracked it right down the middle and chipped off the paint. They took down my roller blinds and moved them forward to sit in front of the double glazing. The largest blind is ...Read more
now broken. It was working perfectly before they moved it. They have claimed it broke all by itself. They reinstalled the other two blinds crookedly. One was so bad that I had to ask them to reinstall it; this caused additional holes in my wall, which they did not patch. The office told me the workers do not have spirit levels. Magnetite has refused to take any responsibility for the damage to my property and have refused to fix it back to the way it was. It will cost me $100s to repair the window ledge and blind.3 comments

Amazing result
Recently had Barry from Magnetite Central Coast install 4 retrofit windows to our bedroom in the hope of reducing Road/Tyre noise which had become an issue.
Barry suggested we should gain a reduction in noise of up to 70% but I honestly believe the product has reduced our problem by at least 80%,if not more.Can hardly hear any traffic outside now!
This product really works and wish I had it done earlier.Barry was honest,professional and the install went smoothly.
Would highly recommend Magnetite for anyone with outside noise issues.

Changed our life!
Magnetite have solved our issue with neighbours who have noisy vehicles parked close to our bedroom. We had sliding windows (retro-fit double glazing) installed in our 1970s style aluminium framed window and the difference is amazing. We are now having undisturbed sleep and can feel the difference with our sleep patterns returning to normal and our health improving. The team were amazing from the measure and quote through to installation - everyone was polite, efficient and had our best interests at heart. Thank you!

Improved thermal comfort, quieter.
We decided to install magnetite on all our bedrooms and dining room after last years install in the front living area. The primary aim was to improve the U value in summer (Sydney) and secondary aims condensation management and noise reduction. The latter two were immediately obvious and so far on ~ 30 degree days the house is more comfortable with less air conditioner use. No true heat waves yet though so it's not possible to give a completely honest assessment.
Quote and install was professional with a only a minor amount of silicone that needed to be removed. Looks very good (maybe not quite as perfect as double glazing) but much less messy and less expensive than doing a full window reinstall.

Very Effective at Noise Reduction
We live close to a busy road and had double glazed windows in the front bedroom when we built, but there was still significant traffic noise. The Magnetite installation has made an amazing difference, to the point we now sometimes look out the window to see if there is any traffic, because we cannot hear it. The installation is very neat and the salesman and installers very professional. My only regret is that we did not get Magnetite sooner.

One of the best noise solutions
I am writing a review based on very recently completed Magnetite installation involving large bedroom windows in an Adelaide CBD apartment. The assessment process, advice and installation were all completed efficiently and professionally, and I would have loved to rate a perfect 5 stars BUT there were some small "glitches" that prevented the 5-star rating (there is now a second set of windows to be treated and there will be an opportunity for improvement!). No regrets however (given the excellent finish and effective noise reduction), and we wi...Read more
ll be return customers in the very near future based on our initial experience. Almost as important as the quality workmanship, has been the early involvement of an independent acoustic engineer, whose recommendation supported the eventual choice of Magnetite. This was made possible through a unique Adelaide City Council program that fully subsidises the engineer's assessment and recommendations, and can include a substantial reimbursement to ease the cost. If you live in the Adelaide CBD contact the Noise Management Incentive Scheme office BEFORE you make any commitment!1 comment

Made a huge difference
So glad we made the decision to install Magnetite. We had it put in 2 bedrooms. It has made quite a difference to how restful we sleep (you can't put a price on that), especially on weekends when you want to maybe sleep in a little bit and the noise outside starts to pick up later in the morning. Everything was smooth from communication prior to installation and the install itself. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Magnetite team for your wonderful service. Great communication and excellent product! I live on a railway line and haven’t slept well here for years.

The noise from a busy street was affecting sleep but since installation of the soundtite windows the noise has been greatly reduced and I’m very happy with the results. When Phil came over to measure and quote he was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. After deciding to go ahead the communication was excellent and the installation process was quick, clean and quality. Overall a highly recommended company, people and products.

A big improvement
Our downstairs was always cold in winter and took a lot to heat and retain warmth . Since installing Magnetite, the house heats up faster once we turn the heating on, and the warmth is maintained. The proof was a reduced energy bill this past (especially cold) winter quarter.

Needs met
Live in a Sydney unit built +/- 2001. Relatively cheap aluminium joinery. Needed a relief from the voices (not music) of noisey neighbours on their balcony at all hours of the night into the early morning. I can lie in bed and listen to their whole conversation (all night) and repeat it back to them the next day. Jim (Salesman) turned up on time and quoted. I expected a relatively premium price after reviews. The quote was relatively what I expected for what was claimed to be a premium product. The next day I signed, paid deposit and it ...Read more
was approx. 7 weeks until delivery / install. The install guys turned up on time, took around 4-5 hours to install (as indicated at quote time). The new aluminium joinery was powder coated (don't know correct terminology) to match my existing aluminium joinery. Wooden trim brackets were installed and painted white. I opted for 10mm glass. If i'm going to install, might as well go all the way. To be honest, I am VERY happy with the price I paid (not cheap) for what I received. And the product has done exactly what it said. Blocked most of the noise (they never claimed to block 100%) and I no longer have to listen to mindless drunk / drug fuelled conversations. Very clean tidy up before leaving. So yes, highly recommended based on my experience.1 comment

Brilliant service
Quality service - immaculate installation of a sliding door and window. Nothing was too difficult for the two installers from removing the new blinds and existing wooden frame around the door to fit one designed to add the necessary depth to accomodate the new sliding door. After the installation, the blinds were returned and the frame was repainted even better than before - the installers even took a trip to Bunnings to ensure a perfect colour match.
The new door slides perfectly and is seamless as is the window in the en suite. A pleasure to...Read more

Hi, I am thinking of getting this product for my two front windows which face a busy highway. What might be a problem is that i have a wood/fibro cottage which is quite a thin material as opposed to brick. Has anyone had magnetite fitted in a house similar to mine and if so, does it still work?
