Magnetic windows are an excellent feature to add to your home

Dear Glenn: I recently received literature in my mailbox about magnetic windows. They are supposed to attach to the inside and be placed over existing windows. The literature said they provide an airtight seal, and are less expensive than replacement windows. Have these magnetic windows been tested? Do you have any information?

Delores, via e-mail

Dear Delores: Magnetic windows solve lots of problems. Michigan Glass Coatings, (800) 999-8468, www.michiganglasscoatings.com, builds and installs them. Talk to Ed Golda.
