Over on our Solar Panel Quoter Blog where todays renewable energy stories are reported and discussed, a recent article suggested that climate sceptics were missing the point regarding renewable energies and energy saving.
With solar energy, whilst the initial installation costs mean a long pay-back period (speeded up when you're able to make use of various Government incentive schemes for renewable energy installation etc), it does offer a pay-back period, compared to traditional energies that will never offer any pay-back and will only increase in cost.
When you think about it, the same could apply to installing double glazing.
Whilst many insulation schemes for cavity wall insulation are touted, not every home is suitable for this type of insulation. What then? Windows and doors may be the only exterior features where energy savings can be made.
Fir example, fitting double glazing with Low-e glass is reckoned to be equal to fitting triple glazing. And modern UPVC frames now feature heat insulation properties like multi chambers, engineered to offer the maximum efficiency in preventing cold outside air from reaching the warmer inside air.
Whether you fit double glazing to do your bit for the environment, make your home more comfortable and cheaper to heat or for purely aesthetic reasons, you are still making a difference to your own CO2 emissions.
Whichever way you look at it, that's got to be a good thing.
You can find out exactly how much fitting double glazing in your home will cost by using WindowQuoter - type in your own approximate window or door measurements and get a quote in seconds, online, without the need for any salesman to call.
