When it comes to lowering fuel bills more and more home-owners are turning to green solutions, due to the ability of these products to save money as well as the planet. An ‘A’ rated window can save roughly £461 per year on energy bills, and will decrease a home’s CO2 emissions by around 0.3 tonnes per year.

Window systems manufacturer Trueframe have reported increased sales of their thermally efficient Liniar PVCU.

Energy efficiency is a priority for governments worldwide and policies reflect this. In the UK the British Fenestration Rating Council [BFRC] and Energy Saving Trust [EST] developed a rating system. The ratings system indicates how energy efficient a particular window system is by classifying them and labelling them as A, B or C, depending on the window specification. An ‘A’ rated window is the most energy efficient and is the most preferable as 20% of a buildings heat is lost through its windows. Double Glazing can reduce a households carbon footprint by three quarters of a tonne per year. This is good news for all concerned and as operations manager at Truframe, Patrick Firmager stated: “Homeowners are feeling the pinch more than ever and its no surprise products that can help lower fuel bills are increasing in popularity.” He also said that “Energy efficiency is a big driver in the market.”

The project possibilities are endless with aluminium attachments for outer frames, allowing the full range of RAL colours to be applied, and the option of additional foils for interior frames to perfectly replicate the look and feel of real wood.

The event will also showcase innovations like ‘Fix O Round’ technology which gives a smooth and continuously flowing connection between the frame and glazing of a window.

 As part of the improvements Spectus Elite 70 profile window systems were used for the refurbishment which has included production of a green foiled PVC-U porch for the front elevation of the out-patients department. This will be installed in the spring when the new hospital reception, complete with self-check in facilities is opened.

 UHSM is the greenest hospital in the UK and as such demands glazing products that exceed expectations of thermal efficiency and noise reduction. It was therefore imperative to use double glazing window systems, that could deliver an A-rating and U-values as low as 0.8W/[m2K]. Saint-Gobain’s Planitherm Argon gas filled glass was used, giving optimum in-life performance.

Trade Window Services Limited use only the most energy efficient double glazing systems incorporating Argon gas filled Saint-Gobain’s Planitherm glass. Our products carry labels with A-C ratings information as developed by the British Fenestration Ratings Council [BFRC] and the Energy Saving Trust [EST].

Whether its the weather or the current financial position the climate is at the forefront of most peoples minds at the moment. The seasonal chill is creeping in and heating is having to be turned up, which is a worry to many people keeping an eye on the purse strings. As the economy continues to struggle, ensuring that the home is energy efficient is an important way of keeping bills in check.

If the windows in your home are letting warm air out and noise in, double or triple glazing is the obvious solution. Where this is not economically or aesthetically viable the ideal alternative is secondary double glazing which can save around £60 per year on heating costs. One fifth of the homes heat is lost through its windows, not only costing money but increasing the carbon footprint. It is also a fact that 14 times more heat is lost through a single glazed window than the same area of insulated wall. A gap of at least 10mm between the original window pane and the secondary glazing will screen out noise too.

Secondary double glazing comes in a varied range of designs, window styles and colours making it hugely versatile. Popularly used in offices and public buildings due to its ability to significantly cut down on traffic noise, secondary double glazing is also used in properties that are close to airports etc.

Secondary double glazing will often be found in grade one and two listed buildings where the original windows need to be preserved. Areas like Southend, Leigh on Sea and Braintree in Essex have strong conservation programmes making local councils reluctant to sanction the installation of double glazing on certain properties. Secondary double glazing is often preferable in these cases.

TWS offer a comprehensive service covering all aspects of double glazing, conservatories, aluminium double glazing, doors, secondary double glazing, orangeries and verandas.

Not many people realise that one fifth of the heat in your home is lost through its windows, and that British homes have just as much impact on global warming, as fuel-burning vehicles like cars, vans, trucks and buses. A window with single glazing is inadequate when it comes to heat conservation and double glazing should be considered wherever possible. By sandwiching a thin layer of insulating air or argon gas between two panes of glass double glazing keeps cold air out and hot air in. This is extremely effective at helping to save the environment and reducing the carbon footprint while keeping fuel bills significantly low. It is possible for the average home to save approx 1.5 tonnes of CO2 a year providing increased energy efficiency. Double glazing has the additional advantage of acting as a sound barrier blocking outside noise from penetrating through the windows.

When choosing companies to install double glazed windows care should be taken to ensure a satisfactory end result. Companies considered should be FENSA registered. The Fenestration Self Assessment Scheme was set up to regulate installers of double glazing in order to comply with strict government standards. It is wise to ensure that the double glazing business in mind carries products certified by the Energy Saving Trust [EST] and the British Fenestration Rating Council [BFRC]. Ratings are set from A to C to reflect the energy efficiency of a product with A ratings being the most efficient. Home owners can also benefit from checking testimonials and reviews from past customers who have dealt with that company. Trade Window Services are FENSA registered and offer a comprehensive service including double glazing installation, Aluminium double glazing, multi fold doors, conservatories,orangeries and verandas. We have customer testimonials and lots of interesting information on our website. Call us on : 01702 557137
