At Heritage Window Collection, we know that homeowners can have many different wants and requirements for their homes. It can be hard to understand what to prioritise, but as energy bills continue to rise and eat away at people’s budgets, thermal efficiency is becoming more important than ever.
Check out our range of sustainable double glazing now, or discover why sustainability and heat insulation are becoming two of the most important features of windows in 2024.
The Sustainability of Double Glazing
Upgrading a property to modern, more sustainable systems can help homeowners and the environment in a number of ways. First off, by trapping more heat within a home, your customers can remain warm and comfortable throughout the year without having to turn on the heating for as long or as often. Our heritage windows come with thick double glazing that can reach an ‘A+’ energy rating and low U-values. Additionally, for those with clients who need the best in energy efficiency and sound insulation, we also offer triple glazing.
Secondly, because good insulation helps to retain heat and reduce the amount of energy a homeowner consumes, homes can become much more eco-friendly. The Heritage Window Collection acts as a part of Deceuninck, and we are dedicated to creating a more sustainable world. Our state-of-the-art recycling facility also helps to reduce uPVC waste, which, when combined with our energy savings windows and doors, can lead to a great environmental investment for all.
By consuming less energy, homeowners can also lower their energy bills year after year. You can market our sustainable double glazed windows as a wise investment that can help improve the value of a property and the level of comfort it can provide.
Sustainability Through Longevity
Many people believe that timber windows are more sustainable than uPVC windows due to timber’s biodegradable nature versus uPVC being plastic. However, the reality is much more complex. There have been massive strides in recycling uPVC, and this combined with our heritage uPVC windows longevity, can actually make them more sustainable than other systems.
Over time, timber windows will require intensive maintenance to prevent warping from absorbing moisture or repainting to improve appearances after chipping or flaking. With uPVC windows from the Heritage Window Collection, a home can remain just as efficient as the day the windows were installed for potentially decades – without any trees required.
The colours and woodgrain foils that we use across our catalogue of products are vibrant and robust. Even after years of exposure to intense weather conditions, they can keep looking their best with only minimal maintenance requirements. Our heritage windows have durable frames and come with tight weather seals to prevent leaks or cold draughts. This can help to prevent damage, leading to the windows having stronger insulation properties alongside more resistance to warping or bending.
The woodgrain foils we have available make our heritage windows suitable for almost any type of home, modern or traditional. The flush sash windows we provide can maintain that classic timber aesthetic while enhancing an old home’s efficiency rating.
There are plenty of other benefits to choosing uPVC windows to insulate a home beyond just the various styles, durability, and energy efficiency, such as the slim sightlines that allow swathes of natural light to flood into homes. Our doors can help expand smaller homes with the illusion of increased space, letting homeowners enjoy beautiful views without having to let the cold in by opening their windows or doors.
