ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS & DOORS
With energy bills rising again and never looking like coming down our tip would be to have energy efficient windows and doors installed by 5 Star. Here’s the reasoning behind this advice.
The truth about early double glazing.
You might think you have ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS & DOORS, but like all technologies the world has moved forward. Todays replacement windows are as far improved from old double glazing as old double glazing was from original single glazed windows. Put another way, the difference between early double glazing and todays ultra efficient glazing is about the same as original single glazing is to original double glazing!
Energy Efficient Windows
A large percentage of heat loss is the fault of old poor insulating windows, which provide an easy escape because of their outdated glazing and frames.
Stand close to your windows. Can you feel a slight draught coming through? Another test you can do is hold a candle near them and see if it causes the flame to flicker. Any hint of mould or moisture could also indicate heat loss is occurring.
If the signs are that you need new windows, 5 Star’s replacement windows have an A+ energy rating as standard, which when fitted could help you save on energy bills each year.
Energy Efficient Doors
Your front and or back door could also be a contributor to heat loss. Perform the tests mentioned above on your doors to see if they’re responsible too.
There will be no such problem with a brand-new door as replacement doors must have a U-value of only 1.8 W/m² – if you don’t know, a U-value helps you identify how quickly heat can escape through a material.
A low U-value is what you want, and that’s what you will get when your new front or back door is bought from 5 Star.
You can expect to get two decades of performance out of our window and door products, as backed up by our 20-year guarantee.
