Double glazing windows in Sydney

Magnetite is such a clever concept. It allows you to retrofit it without replacing all your windows. But they are a little on the expensive side. Given how simple the concept is, I wonder if it's patented...seems like an opportunity for someone to offer a low cost version, particularly with inner city living on the rise.
Yes I agree it is easy to fit. We got a quote and it was $1100 for 2 windows. That was a bit pricey. I would say it has been patented because I haven't seen any other company do it yet and it has been around for a few years now.
No the whole point of Magnetite is that it's much cheaper and easier. If it were more expensive it wouldn't make sense.
Depends on the size of the windows (doh)!
At the lowest end of the market it's about $200/sqm (DIY, use your own frame), moving through the imported from China $400-$600/sqm, then up to the absolute gouging (IMHO) levels of $800+/sqm.
Add more for fancy opening mechanisms.
Do you want timber, aluminium or PVC surrounds?
What size do you want - 6/14/4? Argon filled?
etc etc.
Use the numbers above for a back-of-envelope, and whether it's for your PPOR or IP obviously helps work out your price/pain points
