Energy Efficient Replacement Windows

Thanks to developments in the double glazing industry replacement windows can now be rated in the same way as white goods such as washing machines and fridges. Controlled by the BFRC (British Fenestration Rating Council) this simple scheme allows replacement windows that have been put through a rigorous testing process to display a rating from A - G with A rated window being the best.

When replacing your old windows there are two reasons why you should choose replacement windows that have been awarded a 'C' rating or higher:

• They are better for the environment
• They save you money on your heating bills

In simple terms the way energy rated replacement windows work is they utilise the FREE solar power from the sun to help heat your home. Heat loss through replacement windows is kept to a minimum due the their excellent insulating qualities. Both these factors help to make your home more energy efficient reducing your energy consumption and lowering your heating bills.
