Energy Efficient Double Glazing
The best way to improve your property’s energy efficiency is to upgrade to new modern double glazing. Compared to single or even old double glazing, modern double glazing is capable of retaining an impressive amount of heat. It does this by trapping heat in the gap between the panes of glass, which is typically filled with air or a specialised argon gas
With single glazed units, heat from inside your home can easily pass through to the outside world. Meanwhile double glazed units help you make better use of your home’s heating, letting you keep the heating turned off more often. By not having to have your heating on for as long, you can end up saving quite a bit on energy bills in the long run, potentially making your new double glazing pay for itself in the end! Our uPVC double glazed windows are capable of lasting for decades without any difficult maintenance, and they can reach an impressive A+ energy efficiency rating, making them a worthwhile investment.
Modern Warm Conservatory Roofs
If your home has an extension, such as a conservatory or orangery, then upgrading to a new warm conservatory roof could be an excellent enhancement to your property’s overall energy efficiency. As heat rises, it can cause a lot of your heating to be lost through your roof. If your extension roof is very old or worn down it can be a massive source of energy loss. With a solid, glass, or tiled conservatory roof, their modern construction materials not only make them secure and highly durable but also incredibly energy efficient.
Weather Resistant Doors
Another huge heating loss is worn down doors. Whether it be a bifold door, patio door, or even a composite front door. An old, creaky door can let in cold draughts, leaks, and let heat slip out while the cold slips in. By installing the latest door designs, your home can benefit from contemporary locking mechanisms, tight weatherseals that are built to last against the elements, as well as high quality double glazing.
Reduce Heat Loss With Heavy Curtains
After upgrading your windows and doors with modern double glazing, an excellent way of taking the energy efficiency a step further is to decorate them with thick, heavy curtains. The curtains can help stop heat from radiating into the windows in the first place, acting as an additional bulwark that makes you get more out of your heating.
