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.”
