The Genuine Article
All The Ultimate Collection PVC-u windows and sealed units are manufactured to the highest specifications, this guarantees that the standard for the energy rating you have requested has been met.
The two panes of glass sandwich an inert argon gas that prevents heat transfer. Also all glass seals are modified to stop heat transfer as well as energy efficient features in the frames themselves. The glass itself is also engineered to minimise heat loss.
Double glazed windows manufacturers supply the British Fenestration Rating Council with accurate drawings of the window sections along with details of the type of glass sealed units used.
Computerised simulation tests are then carried out that will assess:
Based on these results all PVC-u double glazing is then certified from an “A” Rating to “G” Rating (“A” being the best possible energy saving performance window).
Modern glass technology offers a range of glass types that together with warm edged spacer bars and argon gas cavity infill, help achieve lower U-values and provide far more energy efficient upvc double glazed windows and doors.
Therefore replacement windows are now energy rated which will keep your heating bills down and help reduce harmful CO2 emissions! Help the Planet – South Lakes Windows Ltd.
