Visit any consumer website which advises on energy efficiency measures and they will recommend that the first step is to ensure that our homes are adequately insulated. This makes it easier to reach comfortable temperatures in our living space which in turn uses less energy and therefore costs us less money.

Did you know that poorly insulated windows and doors are the third largest contributor to heat loss from our homes. If your double glazing was installed prior to April 2002 then there is a good chance that your windows are not as energy efficient as they could be. Low emissivity glass coatings that were introduced into replacement windows by law 7 years ago have advanced even further in recent times. These modern coatings help to retain heat during winter but reflect heat from the sun in the warmer months. Modern energy efficient windows could help to reduce your household bills by as much as £461¹ per year in certain circumstances.

Replacing your windows with modern thermally efficient ones demonstrates a very real commitment to reducing your carbon footprint. If everyone in the UK that could replace their windows did, individual households would reduce their CO2 emissions by 0.3 tonnes annually and collectively we could save 4.5 million tonnes².

When making your choice, ensure that you select you an installer whose windows are endorsed by the Window Energy Rating Scheme governed by the British Fenestration Ratings Council (BFRC). The easily recognised EU energy label (see below) rates windows by their energy efficiency, ‘A’ being the most efficient. And remember every little contribution helps. If cost is a barrier, consider replacing the windows in the rooms that you heat most first.

With Glass Tec’s latest energy efficient windows, you can save money, improve the comfort and security of your customers whilst taking a positive step towards combating climate change and of course making hat added value sale.
