Energy Rated Windows
Global warming and high fuel costs are hot topics at the moment. Governments and house builders are having to come up with ever improving energy efficient homes. Windows are traditionally a great source of heat loss but thanks to new products and better awareness windows can actually become an energy saving asset.

Can windows actually create more energy and not lose heat ?
In short yes, the very latest technology means “A” rated windows are energy positive: they actually create more energy than they use, through solar gain. So installing new ‘A’ rated windows means homeowners can avoid the massive gas, electricity and heating increases seen last year and substantially reduce their carbon emissions.

‘Standard double glazing meets the current building regulations, and saves approximately 50% of the heat lost through single glazing. Today’s energy efficient ‘A’ rated products, (recognised and recommended by the Energy Saving Trust), saves the other 50%.

Did you know that a product with a ‘C’ rating can save 74% of your heat loss, an ‘A’ rated product saves you 100% plus.
