Energy efficiency – uPVC is a clear winner!

The thermal efficiency of windows is measured using a ‘U’ value. The lower the ‘U’ value, the less heat is permitted to pass through the window and the more efficient the window is. When it comes to ‘U’ values – lowest is best!
An average home will lose 30% of its heating or cooling energy through its windows and doors. A glance at the table on the right shows that our top performing New Look Collection window would reduce those losses by 75% compared to a standard aluminium window! That’s a 22.5% reduction in your heating and cooling costs.
With carbon emissions high on the global agenda and the ever increasing cost of electricity, we are all looking for ways to make our homes more energy efficient. Choosing energy efficient windows from the New Look Collection would be a big step in the right direction.

What do energy efficient windows mean ?
