Double glazed sealed units » Energy Efficient Glass
Why use energy efficient glass?
Due to the importance placed on the damage to the environment in recent years, as part of the Kyoto agreement, the Government has committed to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases the UK produces. One way has been through stricter Building Regulations concerning energy efficiency.
How does energy efficient glass work?
‘Low emissivity’ (Low-e) glass is designed to reflect heat from fires and radiators back into your home, greatly improving its thermal efficiency. At the same time, it allows heat from the sun through your window, contributing to its energy efficiency.
By using less heat to keep your home warm, less energy needs to be produced, therefore lowering the overall levels of greenhouse gases and the cost of keeping your home warm.
We manufacture 2 types of Low-e glass which are readily available from stock:
