Choosing an energy-efficient double glazed unit is essential, helping to reduce household heating costs while also benefiting the environment.
Since October 2010, all newly fitted windows and doors must be rated A, B, or C for energy efficiency (A being the highest rating, C the lowest – with older glazing sometimes falling as low as G!).
Energy efficiency matters
All new windows and doors must meet energy ratings of A, B or C (with A being the best). Older windows can be as low as G, which waste significant energy. By installing modern double glazing, you’ll lower heating bills while improving comfort and sustainability.
"Energy-efficient glazing reduces bills and improves comfort all year round"
Understanding energy-efficient glazing
Modern energy-efficient glass is known as ‘low emissivity’ (low-e). This glass features a microscopically thin, invisible coating of metal that reflects heat back inside your home during winter, while allowing natural light to pass through. In summer, it reduces solar gain to help keep your home cooler.
Environmental benefits
If you live in a single-glazed property and switch to energy-efficient double glazing, you could cut energy use by up to 18% per year (equivalent to around 0.30 tonnes of carbon savings in an average semi-detached house).
Low-e coatings Altcar
Low-e coatings reduce heat transfer and energy loss by 30–50% compared to regular glass. They add only 10–15% to the cost of a window but pay for themselves quickly in energy savings. Different coatings are available to balance solar gain and light transmission.
Argon-filled units
Conventional double glazing uses dry air between panes. Upgraded glazing uses argon gas, which is denser and provides greater insulation, reducing heat loss more effectively.
Warm edge spacers
Warm-edge spacers (thermal break bars) reduce heat loss around the edges of glazing. They provide up to 50% better efficiency than aluminium spacers, reduce condensation and improve comfort. Available in different colours, they can even be used in decorative Georgian bar windows.
