Best Energy Efficient Windows

Before considering replacement double/triple glazed windows, do check that there are no restrictions due to age, location or special covenants concerning the windows on your property.

Between 20%-25% of the heat escaping from an average sized home is escaping through its windows.
Efficient window glazing reduces expensive air condition and heating bills and increases comfort and wellbeing.

Double Glazing or Triple Glazing?

How Double Glazing Works.

• With double and triple glazing, air or an inert gas is trapped between two or three panes of glass that are kept the correct distance apart by a spacer.
• This creates an insulating barrier that reduces heat loss, noise and condensation.
• By installing low-emissivity glass (Low-E) the sun's heat and light is allowed to pass through the glass into the building, but blocks heat from leaving the rooms.
• Windows are available in a wide variety of styles and types to suit every property
• They are usually sold with a long guarantee and are virtually maintenance free.

In order to enhance the efficiency of your windows even further, you may wish to buy energy saving curtains and/or blinds.

Choosing the energy efficient windows in Great Britain.

Labels detailing the energy proficiency performance of the whole window in the UK

• The British Fenestration Rating Council also known as BFRC (www.bfrc.org) is the UK’s national system for rating the energy efficiency of windows.
• It uses a label detailing the energy proficiency performance of the whole window.
• The windows are rated from A-E depending on how well the product will conserve heat in winter, keep out wind, resist condensation and improve sound insulation.
• The most energy efficient windows are rated in the A-C band.

  These windows also carry the Energy Saving Recommended logo issued by the Energy Saving Trust.
