Energy Efficient Windows
The windows that we select for our homes bring light, warmth and beautyinto them. Poorly selected windows are a major source of heat loss in the winter and can reduce comfort and the amount of effective living space. Energy efficient windows, when correctly selected and installed, will help to minimise the heating and lighting costs and will ncrease comfort and the amount of useable living space
Save Money by selecting Energy Efficient windows
which reduce your heating bill.
Energy Rated Windows
The British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) an independent body that monitors and controls Energy Efficient Window ratings have developed a Energy Window rating system which allows the consumer to rapidly compare the Energy Efficiency of different window products.
The familiar A to G rating labels where A is a more Energy Efficient than a G rated window means that the consumer can easily and quickly choose the most suitable window for their needs. The BFRC rating simply and effectively assesses the Energy performance of the whole window and takes into account frame material, frame design, glass type, air leakage and all the other components that make up the window. For the first time it is possible to compare the Energy performances of different complete windows simply and quickly.
Saving Money
Energy efficient windows may cost more initially but will not only improve comfort but will save energy and money for the life of the window. Over the life of a window the cost of heat loss is greater than the purchase cost. Choosing the most Energy efficient window will save money.
Choosing windows
The BFRC rating makes selecting windows for Energy efficiency simple. It allows windows to be easily compared to find the most Energy efficient product.
The cost of heat loss through a window is greater than the purchase cost
The best way to compare Windows for Energy efficiency is to use the BFRC rating.- BFRC ratings are on a scale A to G where an A rated window is more Energy efficient than a G rated window.
- Look for the BFRC label on windows and in literature to easily compare windows for
