Double Glazing
Installing double glazing can cut heat loss through windows by half.
If you can't afford to replace all the windows, why not choose the rooms
that cost you the most to heat or those you use in the winter evenings.
How it works
Double glazing works by trapping air between two panes of glass creating
an insulating barrier that reduces heat loss, noise and condensation.
The savings
Double glazing cuts heat lost through windows by half and can save £80 -
£100 a year on your heating bills. Double glazing, can save a household
about two-thirds of a tonne of CO2 a year.
