energy efficient windows prevent heat loss through the glass and encourage heat gain from the sun

energy efficient windows prevent heat loss through the glass and encourage heat gain from the sun

They can be either double or triple glazed - the more layers of glass the more efficient the window.

What’s so great about highly efficient windows?

  • on average, 10% of a building’s heat is lost through its windows
  • with high performance windows you will live in a more comfortable environment - sitting next to a window will no longer feel like sitting beside an open fridge
  • double- and triple-glazed windows can be designed to look just like your current ones, even if you live in a conservation area
  • good windows insulate against sound - ideal for noisy cities.
  • multiple layers of glass offer increased security
  • new windows are sealed to prevent draughts


Looking for windows?

Working alongside a small windows manufacturer, we have developed specially designed double- and triple-glazed sash lookalike windows. These windows have been developed to meet the highest standard of thermal efficiency and aesthetic requirements and can be installed in conservation areas without incurring the wrath of your local planning department.

If you would like to find out more about these windows, including sourcing them, please contact us.

Flying is ok because aviation only produces a few percent of global CO2 emissions.


Truth: Globally, it is true that aviation does not produce more than a few percent of CO2. However if you take a single intercontinental flight every year, this is likely to dominate your own personal CO2 emissions.
More importantly, emitting the gas high up in the atmosphere means that the global warming effect of every tonne of CO2 emitted by a plane is 2-4 times worse than that of the same tonne emitted on the ground!
Another problem is the speed of growth of the aviation industry: between 1990 and 2001, UK passenger numbers increased by 73%. Over the same period, average fuel consumption per passenger per kilometre travelled actually increased by 12%!  In 2008, aviation was responsible for 23% of transport fuel use in the UK.
