Glazing
Stay warm with energy saving glazing. Energy Saving Recommended double glazing can cut heat loss through windows by half and, by replacing leaky, poorly fitting window frames, you'll be cutting down on draughts and improving the comfort of your home. Double glazing also reduces noise and condensation problems. If you can't afford to replace all the windows, why not choose the rooms that cost you the most to heat?
How it works
Double glazing creates an insulating barrier by trapping air between two panes of glass.
The savings
Installing double glazing can cut your heating bills by around £135 a year as well as 720 kilograms of CO 2 - that's 4 double decker buses full of CO 2 each year.
How the savings add up
If everyone in the UK that could, installed double glazing, it would save around £700 million and 4 million tonnes of CO 2.
Look for the logo
Remember to look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo when choosing your windows, that way you can be sure they are the most energy efficient, as the whole window (frame and glass) is assessed on a rating of A-G by the British Fenestration Ratings Council.
Always look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo
