Energy Efficient Windows

Recent developments in the double glazing industry now means double glazed windows can be rated the same way as white goods, such as fridges can. This simple scheme controlled by the BFRC (British Fenestration Rating Council) allows windows that have been put through a rigorous testing process to display a rating from A – G with an A rating being the best.

There are two major reasons why you should choose windows that carry a ‘C’ rating or higher when you improve you home;

• They are better for the environment
• They save you money on your heating bills

In simple terms, energy rated windows utilise the suns FREE solar power to help heat your home.  Excellent insulation qualities ensure that ‘heat loss’ through your windows is kept to a minimum.  Both of these functions result in your heating bills and energy consumption being dramatically reduced.
