Magnetite Singapore is an exciting start-up in the construction industry, supplying retrofit double glazing to existing windows to reduce noise and heat transmission. Magnetite® was developed by Kenneth J. Foster, an energy physicist, in conjunction with the M.I.T. Innovation Center. Mr. Foster was inspired by acrylic windows used on jet airplanes and the tight magnetic seals of refrigerator doors. He combined the concepts to create the patented Magnetite technology that allows you to receive all the benefits of double glazing without replacing your windows. Originating in North America, Magnetite is now offered in the USA, Canada, Australia,New Zealand and with the arrival in Singapore for the first time also in Asia. Magnetite is in Singapore exclusively offered in license by PLACE SOLUTIONS PTE LTD. Place Solutions aspires to be a force for positive change in everything that we do. At the core of our product solutions stands our guiding principle: financial, social and environmental sense. Magnetite fits perfect into our portfolio as it is half the cost of a full window replacement to a soundproof system, increases the comfort of the inhabitants and saves energy when installed. Magnetite Singapore Pte Ltd is part of the Magnetite Australia franchise network.

Our unique system allows for upgrading and modernisation of existing building stock without the need for major renovation or interruption of home or business life. It is suitable in cases where no other system can work, like for sliding windows and doors. We look to make people's lives more comfortable and enjoyable. Noise travelling through windows can negatively impact the quality of life of the residents, affecting their sleep and state of mind. We offer available solution to upgrade existing windows and are therefore the perfect solutions for Singapore's many condominiums.
