A-Rated Energy Saving Windows

Why do I need energy saving windows?

Energy used in the home is responsible for 27% of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with most of this created by heating the home. A crucial factor in reducing these emissions and safeguarding the environment is your choice of glazed window. Energy Saving Recommended windows containing EcoClear® will improve the energy efficiency of your home AND save you over £9,000 on your heating bills over a 20 year period based on an average sized semi-detached house.

Window Energy Rating

The Window Energy Rating (WER) labelling scheme was launched in the UK by the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC), a Government-supported independent body. By using information contained on the label, consumers can reliably compare one product with another and make informed decisions regarding the energy performance of a window.

The A (best) to G (worst) rating system is similar to the labelling already used on white goods. The label gives a rating based on the performance of the whole window (frame and glass) and therefore allows fair comparison of one window with another.

The Royale Encore Decorative double glazed windows supplied and fitted by C & L Windows are A-rated - meaning that in the course of a year the saving in CO2 terms is roughly equivalent to a jumbo jet flying from London to New York.

How does EcoClear® work?

Windows glazed with EcoClear® allow optimal amounts of the sun’s energy to pass through the glass into the room allowing your home to benefit from free solar heat gain.

At the same time, using advanced glass coating technology, EcoClear® reflects the heat inside your house back into the room rather than allowing it to escape. Both features reduce or eliminate the need for additional heating.
