Energy Efficiency Starts With Double Glazing

If we want to preserve fossil fuels and the world we live in for future generations then we need to all make a serious effort to turn our homes into energy efficient palaces. There can be no delay as the threat of climate change is already a very serious issue and there are still thousands of properties in the UK carrying a high carbon footprint.

One of the chief reasons is because too many homes still continue to have their old windows in place which tend to be poor at insulating heat. In fact it is estimated that windows are chiefly responsible for around 25% of heat lost from the home. Therefore, it makes sense to get them replaced at the soonest opportunity and double glazing is most certainly a cure for the problem.

Double glazing comes with two thick panes of glass and a highly reliable UPVC frame. Together they work to ensure that little or no heat from the inside of your home is able to escape, whilst making sure that draughts are no longer able to enter your property. Because of this, each and every time you turn your heating on any warmth that is produced will stay trapped inside for long periods.

The cost of your energy bills will be most affected by a change of windows as you will notice a steep drop in cost throughout the expected lifecycle of a brand new set of double glazing windows. Plus of course you will be doing your bit as far as environmental needs are concerned by taking the initiative and throwing out your old windows.

The savings you make on the cost of energy will soon mount up so that you have money to spend on other areas of your home. Conservatories and orangeries can add further monetary and energy efficiency value.
