In recent years, energy bills have gone through the roof, and many homeowners have taken to finding ways to reduce their energy consumption, sometimes by any means necessary.
Energy efficiency has become one of the most important features of modern windows and doors. Not only can it help reduce energy bills by improving how we consume gas and electricity, but it also helps to reduce our carbon footprint and impact on the environment.
Find out why our heritage doors are capable of such high energy efficiency that they have been rated A+ on the energy rating scale, and find your local heritage door fabricator today.
What Makes Our Doors So Energy Efficient?
Many factors go into designing and manufacturing heritage doors with an A+ energy rating. Designed from the ground up to offer some of the best energy-saving potential, our double-glazed heritage doors incorporate all sorts of modern technologies.
The Power of Double Glazing
The first and foremost feature that makes our heritage doors so energy efficient is their powerful panes of double glazing. Unlike single glazed windows and doors that have one pane of glass, our double glazed doors have door panes placed closely together. The thin space of air between the panes acts as a strong natural barrier of insulation that captures heat.
Modern Materials
All of our heritage doors are made using high-quality uPVC. As a modern material, uPVC is a plastic that is capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions without the risk of warping, cracking, or swelling. Plus, unlike timber or steel frames and profiles, uPVC doors also naturally retain more heat. The air pockets within the uPVC act in a similar way to the air within double glazing, providing further insulation.
Beyond just the frames and glazing, however, the newer weather seals and hardware allow for much tighter weather resistance. By reducing the risk of draughts and leaks, homes can be made even more energy efficient compared to keeping old, tired doors.
