The cost of heating our homes is still rising. Energy saving windows can make a real difference.
If you're thinking of replacing your windows, you'll want the most energy efficient Window Energy Rated windows (WERs). 'A' is the most energy efficient rating. Look for the familiar rainbow label that appears on everything from domestic appliances to aircraft.
At the heart of energy saving windows
According to the Energy Saving Trust, 18% of heat is lost through windows alone in an uninsulated home and by replacing single glazed windows with ‘B’ energy rated windows, the average home could save up to £170 a year on heating costs.
SWISSPACER’s warm edge spacer bar is at the heart of the energy saving window. It keeps the panes of glass in a sealed unit apart, and with desiccant and sealant maintains the seal that keeps insulating gas in and moisture out. Every SWISSPACER spacer bar has a 100% impermeable Gas Tight Barrier to gas and moisture. Windows with well made sealed units with SWISSPACER inside will continue to save money and last for years.
Ask your installer for windows with SWISSPACER inside and look for the SWISSPACER label.
Why insist on windows with SWISSPACER inside?
- SWISSPACER makes your windows more energy efficient so you save money on heating bills
- SWISSPACER helps keep your home at a comfortable temperature
- SWISSPACER keeps the glass warm on the inside of the window to prevent condensation. Condensation is unsightly but it also acts as a breeding ground for mould and bacteria which can aggravate breathing conditions and other health problems.
The Green Deal
The Green Deal is a government scheme allowing homeowners make energy-saving improvements without having to pay all the costs upfront. Once your new windows are installed, you’ll pay off the loan in instalments through your energy bill.
