Why Window Energy Ratings Matter
There is more to replacement windows than many customers understand. Firstly, the glass and the frames are manufactured to maintain energy efficiency. The better the energy efficiency then the warmer and cozy a home will be. At Peterborough Doors, we believe it is not only critical to provide outstanding windows and doors, but also to educate Peterborough customers the benefits of our windows and doors. This is why throughout this blog we will discuss why the Window Energy Ratings (WER) should be a key factor when choosing windows and doors.
What is The Importance of Energy Ratings
Energy-efficient windows can significantly save you money in the long term. They are designed to reduce environmental impact, whilst enhancing indoor comfort.
The higher the rated window then the more heat is maintained during the winter months. While in reverse during the summer months reflecting heat out. This in-all will lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Furthermore, they will combat the extreme UK weather, ensuring your home is warm and comfort all year round.
The window energy ratings do influence your home’s energy efficiency in many ways. The high the WER then the higher the windows superiority performance. Keeping your home insulated, reducing energy consumption, therefore upholding sustainability.
Factors Which Will Influencing Window Energy Ratings
When evaluating a double-glazed window energy performance there are many key elements to consider. Firstly, the glass type. Secondly, the material used for the frame. Then lastly, the windows insulation properties. For instance, if a double-glazing unit has low-emissions (Low-E) glass then it will have considerably lower heat loss compared to a single-glazed unit. Then when it comes to the frame type such as; uPVC, wood, and aluminum frames all affect the insulation capabilities. Each frame type will have its own unique benefits.
When you take a look through Peterborough Doors window options, you will see uPVC and aluminum windows. Both of these type window have their own energy ratings. However, the type of window frame and the glass type will be chosen to meet the different needs and preferences by our customers.
Choosing the Right Windows
If you select the highest energy-rated windows then it will suite anyone’s requirements. However, the best window glass comes with a cost. So, when choosing the right window for your home, things to consider are; local climate, the style of window to best suite your property, energy goals, then lastly your budget.
The window glass should always be certified such as from the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC). This will guarantee that your energy ratings are true and accurate.
