Could Velcro be use to install secondary glazing rather than magnets

Does anyone know why secondary glazing (ie perspex sheets fitted inside the window) are typically connected to the windows with magnetic strips? I'm wondering if anyone has used velcro strips instead, and what the downsides are?

Best Answer

The magnetic strips will, imho, separate easier compared to velcro, so subsequent removal for cleaning etc is easier.

Once you get magnets sufficiently far apart, then the force becomes much lower.
