Energy Efficient Window Prices

The biggest advantage of installing energy efficient windows with an A rating is that they will improve the energy efficiency of your home. In turn, you’ll reduce the amount of energy you use and save money on keeping your property warm and comfortable year after year.

As energy efficient windows use less fuel to heat than single glazing or standard double glazing, you’ll reduce your CO2 emissions and play your part in helping the environment. All A-rated windows provide an excellent level of sound protection as well, making them ideal if you live in a noisy or built-up area.

By choosing energy efficient windows with an A rating, you won’t need to replace your windows for an incredibly long time. In fact, you may never have to replace your windows, especially when you choose a high-quality solution. Furthermore, these windows are made with robust uPVC and strong glass for added strength and security.

On top of all those benefits, you’ll increase the value of your property and make your home more sellable when the time comes. There’s also the reassurance that your windows have been checked and graded by the British Federation Ratings Council.

Energy efficient windows come with either 2 sheets (double glazing) or 3 sheets (triple glazing) of low emissivity (Low-E) glass with a gap in between to create an insulating barrier. The glass is designed to allow plenty of light and heat into your home and reduce the amount of heat that can escape. On a hot day, the glass will keep the heat outside.

The gap between each pane of glass is usually filled with an effective gas to further increase energy efficiency. Spacers are also used around the inside edges of the glass to keep each pane apart. Some pane spacers are known as ‘warm spacers’, which are best for keeping your windows condensation-free and thermally efficient.

Both double glazed windows and triple glazed windows are considered energy efficient, with triple glazing coming out on top. Double glazing comes with 1 sealed cavity and triple glazing will have 2 sealed cavities, all of which will be filled with heat insulating gas. It’s the extra energy efficient pane of glass and cavity that make triple glazing the slightly better of the two window types.

That said, both double glazed and triple glazed windows can help to keep warmth in your home, as well as provide excellent security and sound insulation. However, if your rooms seem hard to heat, an A-rated energy efficient window will make the world of difference.

Just remember that the higher the energy efficiency rating, the more energy your windows will save. If you do decide to buy double glazed or triple glazed windows, make sure they have a high energy efficiency rating to maximise performance.

Some A-rated energy efficient window manufacturer’s offer upgrades on the glass. As well as A-rated windows, you have the option of A+ and A++ for an even greater level of energy efficiency. When it comes to the uPVC frames, all A-rated energy efficient windows can be customised in a choice of colours and woodgrain effects. If you choose windows with openings, you’ll also get to select from a stylish array of handle options.
