Why fitting “A” rated double glazing in UK properties is now a no brainer

Regardless of whether one is a UK property owner refurbishing an existing premises, building an extension or erecting a new build home, home owners should seriously consider fitting the highest energy rated products possible. Other important factors to take into account are design quality, type of finish and style of the replacement double glazing windows and doors one is looking at when refurbishing or erecting residences. Cost benefits such as low maintenance, thermal efficiency, aesthetic appeal, improved security and price are just some of the genuine benefits gained from adding double glazing.

From a long term financial standpoint alone, reducing spending on ever increasing heating bills and ongoing decorating are real economic benefits delivered from having double glazing installed. Studies have found that approximately 25% of heat generated (and in summer air conditioning) can be lost through old, leaky single glazed wooden, crittall or metal windows. Double glazed windows dramatically increases any property’s insulation. When ecological considerations are taken into account, fitting double glazed windows are a no brainer, as not only do they save money on electricity and gas bills, but nowadays they also can be re-cycled at the end of their lifetime, so are consequently extremely environmentally friendly.
