With Christmas looming, it’s important to start thinking about your energy consumption. With the cold of winter comes a larger amount of home emissions and consequently, bigger bills. Not to worry; there are a range of energy efficient windows available on the market that mean keeping those costs down has never been so simple.
When it comes to maintaining an energy efficient home there are a number of options. Firstly, contemporary uPVC double-glazing windows offer a standard level of heat loss reduction. Double glazing provides enough insulation to keep a steady warmth around your home, whilst still allowing air to flow through the house naturally.
If you’re looking for something even more effective, you may turn to specifically designed heat retaining glass. Heat retaining glass features argon gas between the two panes of glass. The high density of argon gas means it prevents heat escaping considerably better than standard double-glazing.
Triple Glazing is the final option of glass if you’re considering maintaining the efficiency of modern homes with larger windows. By combining 3 levels of heat retention glass, it offers optimum insulation and a sturdy structural design.
Now for the cost-saving benefits; energy efficient windows that are fitted to an ‘A’ quality of rating could see you save as much as £450 a year on your energy bills, as well as contributing to a lower carbon emissions footprint.
It doesn’t stop there. There are other, lesser-known advantages to these types of low emission windows too. They contribute to sound proofing, ideal for homes near busy roads or noisy locations, which can in turn lead to a property maintaining or even increasing its value.
