Window Energy Ratings use a A-E ratings guide This ratings label can be used by you to make more informed choices about the energy efficiency of the windows you are looking to purchase. It is designed in the form of a consumer-friendly traffic-light style

We are all looking for ways to make our homes more energy efficient. With the added incentive of lowering our carbon emissions as well as lowering the amount of  energy  we use with the current high cost of fuel,

 

Windows are rated using a familiar A to G scale on the basis of their total energy
efficiency, where an A rated window is more energy efficient than a G-rated window. We can help you choose the most suitable window for their needs.

Energy efficient windows will cost  you more initially but will not only save energy and money for the life but make your house warm and comfortable The rating makes selecting windows for energy efficiency easier , you can compare windows
to find the most energy efficient product. The following information should be considered.

Reducing heat loss

A major factor in the energy efficiency of a whole window is the U-value. A window with a low U - value loses less heat than one with a high U-value.

Reducing air flow

Uncontrolled air flow through a window loses heat and creates draughts. Windows with seals that are compressed  reduce uncontrolled air flow, and have better resistance to uncontrolled air flow than the sliding seals on vertical sliding windows they also  provide good ventilation when opened. Installation workmanship also affects the air flow through a window. At Foulger & Childs we are renowned for our workmanship.
