National Window Scrappage Scheme – Will It Save the Planet
5
The Glass & Glazing Federation (GGF) has recently petitioned the government to introduce a National Window Scrappage Scheme. Under the proposed scheme it is hoped that householders will be encouraged to scrap their old poorly insulated windows in return for a £1,000 grant towards the installation costs of new, professionally installed, energy efficient ones. Consumer benefits would include the £1000 saving, a domestic cosmetic facelift, lower fuel bills and more energy efficient homes.
So could uPVC windows and doors be the answer to saving the planet?
No doubt any upturn in sales would trigger questions about the disposal of old PVC windows and doors in an environmentally responsible way. Despite the fact that it is often said that PVC is…

How can a window actually save you money? Because they help you save energy and reduce the fuel bills in your home!
As fuel costs continue to be high and we become more concerned about the environment, it is important that you focus on how energy efficient your home is.

In 2005 alone, total UK CO2 emissions were almost 554 million tonnes. 27% (153 million tonnes) of those emissions came from the energy we use to heat, light and power our homes, contributing to climate changes.
But saving energy will not only help the environment in the long term. It…

Conservatory Outlet’s range of Energy Efficient Windows offer a greener future! Energy Efficient Windows use an energy rated system similar to that on white-goods (such as fridges and washing machines) which ranges from A to E. But what do they actually do?
Using modern technology and high specification Double Glazing the windows use the suns natural rays to keep the home warm and to resist the cold. This helps to reduce the cost of heating bills dramatically as the house is naturally warmed throughout the day. Therefore the windows help to improve the energy efficiency of a home.
Being green is an important topic in the UK and under new proposals, households that do not meet the energy efficiency requirements…
Double Glazing | When Buying A New House You Should Consider PVC Windows & PVC Doors

Moving house is said to be one of the most stressful things which we go through in our lives. However many of us go through it as a new house can make a huge difference to our lives. In the current economic climate if you can afford to move house then it might be a good time to look as house prices are falling meaning that you could bag yourself a real bargain. However rarely do we move straight into a house and we are completely satisfied with it. Usually we will want to make some home improvements and put our own personal stamp on the property. There are of course some relatively easy cosmetic changes which we can make…

How can a window actually save you money?
Conservatory Outlet uses a low emittance glass that contains a coating that lies between the layers of glazing, which makes the glass reflective – keeping energy in. The unique system keeps the house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
There are some new materials in glass insulation that can create a more energy efficient glass, such as glass coatings, gas fillers, warm edge spacers and new frame materials. The A Rated Windows range is the most energy efficient window available, but we also offer other rated windows, depending on the type you would like installed.
Currently there is a lot of discussion happening on the topic of Energy…
