Energy Efficiency
Good for your pocket - and the planet
Conserving energy in our homes is essential to help reduce energy bills and protect the environment by cutting carbon dioxide emissions. The fact that our homes and buildings are responsible for almost half of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions means that improving energy efficiency in all dwellings is a top priority for the Government and homeowners alike.
Comfortable homes with lower running costs
Windows have a vital role to play in conserving energy in buildings, since 20% of the heat escaping from an average home is lost through its windows. Choosing the right combination of glazing and window frames is essential to improve the energy efficiency of your home, reduce your energy costs and crucially, create a comfortable living environment for you and your family - all year round.
Built-in thermal efficiency
Our window frames feature an advanced multi-chambered cross-section which helps to prevent heat loss and enhance thermal efficiency. This means we can create windows that meet the highest energy efficiency ratings.
Windows that make the grade
The British Fenestratin Ratings Council Limited (BRFC) is an independent organisation dedicated to improving the efficiency of fenestration products. BRFC Energy Ratings are a simple, clear and easily understood method of informing customers of the relative energy efficiency of a particular window. All windows installed must be of an A-C rating on the scale. The windows are rated on an 'A' to 'G' scale which is consistent with other products such as light bulbs and white goods. An 'A' rating signifies the most energy-efficient products, a 'G' the least efficient. Our windows can be designed to achieve any rating on this scale, according to your needs and budget.
Recycled materials
Our windows represent a genuine sustainable option. Not only because they help reduce Co2 emissions, but also because PVC-U is a fully recyclable material. Each year, tens of thousands of tonnes of PVC-U are recycled, minimising impact on landfill waste sites.
