Stop money going out of the window

Most of the energy we waste in our homes is unnecessary and easy to avoid. Switching off lights, fixing dripping taps and using energy efficient light bulbs are just a few ways we can all do our bit. Not all windows are the same, for instance fitting windows that contain Pilkington energiKare™ is another simple step we can take to reduce the amount of energy we use.

 

Why are energy efficient windows so important?

You’ll probably know that the amount of energy we waste is directly linked to climate change. And you’ll definitely know how much it costs to heat a home. But you may not be fully aware just how much difference the type of glass used in double glazing can have on the energy efficiency of a home. And not all double glazing is the same. Just by installing Pilkington energiKare™ instead of ordinary double glazing, you will be helping your customer to reduce the amount of energy they use, and you’ll also be helping them to do their bit for the environment.

 

Doesn’t all double glazing save energy?

Pilkington energiKare™ is twice as energy efficient as standard modern double glazing. The Window Energy Rating scheme has been put in place to help make choosing windows easier for consumers. It’s a similar system that is applied to washing machines, fridges, freezers and light bulbs and so on. Basically if a window is rated C or above it may apply to be part of the ‘Energy Saving Recommended’ scheme. Windows containing Pilkington energiKare™ are all rated C or above.
