West Yorkshire Windows

Have you recently turned away the local double glazing company from your doorstep considering it to be an unwanted expense? If so, then you need to think again as the benefits of installing double glazing, far outweigh the negatives as detailed below:

Increased security

Double glazed windows are installed with the very best locking mechanisms making it that extra bit difficult for burglars to break in through them. Because they are double paned it also makes it harder to remove or smash the glass, whereas a single paned window hit by a strong object tends to break easier.

Reduce heating bills

If you want windows with great insulation properties then go double glazed. They are able to transmit the suns natural light into a room, therefore bringing warmth into the home. On the other hand, during the winter you may not be required to keep the heating on too long as double glazed windows will retain the heat generated from your central heating much longer than single glazing would.

Noise and draft reduction

If you are constantly disturbed by external noise from traffic or neighbours, double glazing will help block out any unwanted sounds. You may also suffer from drafts within the home due to your old wooden windows providing little or no protection from cold air. uPVC Double glazing would put paid to that.

Improves the look of your home

You may have the most lovely looking house in the world, but if you have windows which are rotting, warped or lacking a coat of paint, then it can totally bring down the look of your home.  uPVC windows can help update the look of your home and are very easily maintained.  They are also very unlikely to need be replaced for years after installation.

The UK double glazing industry is seeing a steady uptake in the development of more Energy Efficient Windows since the introduction of the new window ratings system by the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC).

The BFRC Scheme is the UK’s national system for rating the energy efficiency of windows and is recognised within the Building Regulations as a method to show compliance for your replacement windows installation.

Window Energy Ratings use a consumer-friendly traffic-light style A-E ratings guide similar to that used on ‘white’ goods (such as fridges, freezers, washing machines etc…). This ratings label can be used by you to make more informed choices about the energy efficiency of the windows you are looking to purchase. With carbon emissions high on the global agenda and the current high cost of fuel, we are all looking for ways to make our homes more energy efficient.

Fabricators and installers of uPVC windows in the UK have been developing a variety of energy rated windows since the scheme was established, and consumers are becoming more aware.

Matthew Glover, the Managing Director of Conservatory Outlet Ltd, one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of Double Glazing and Conservatories is delighted with the progress in the market, and at his company.

‘We’ve found that consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to improve the energy efficiency of their properties, and see their windows as a key element in reducing CO2 emissions,’ states Matthew Glover. ‘We have seen a ten fold increase in sales over the last twelve months, with most people opting for the most energy efficient A Rated windows’.

Simply put the new energy rated labels will determine how well a product will perform the functions of helping households contain and conserve heat within buildings in the winter, keep out the wind, resist condensation and contribute to improved sound insulation.

Buildings that are single glazed or the double glazing was installed prior to April 2002 then they could be losing more heat than necessary, and therefore money, literally out of the window. However, by switching to Energy Efficient Windows householders can save energy and reduce household bills by as much as £461 per year (according to the BFRC).

If you live in a single glazed house and install Energy Efficient Windows, you could reduce the energy you use by 0.30 tonnes or 18% – almost reaching the Government target of 20% reduction per household. Add to this other simple energy saving measures – such as insulating your home and turning down the central heating by 1° C – and you could be making a real impact on reducing your carbon footprint.

Conservatory Outlet have produced new literature to explain the benefits of choosing energy efficient windows, and have added more detail to their website at http://www.conservatoryoutlet.co.uk/energy_rated_windows.php

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help with our new uPVC double glazed conservatory. Everyone was so nice and helpful. 

We were very impressed on how it all pieced together and that there wasn’t any extra work that needed to be done. We were told that quite often this is the case with other manufacturers.

We are extremely happy with the new conservatory, it is fantastic to sit in after work and relax. It’s also nice to know that it’s extremely secure with quality window and door locks along with the double glazing.

We have suggested your company to all of our friends. I have to say that the people from West Yorkshire Windows offer great conservatories in Leeds and were available to give out some helpful advice whenever we wanted to ask anything.
