When looking for new windows or doors for your property, you will be asked about the window rating. This might not make a lot of sense, so that’s why we look at the window energy ratings in this blog post so you can choose the right windows and doors for your home or business. In simpler terms, the rating of your window tells you how well it will insulate your home and in turn how warm your home will be and how much your energy bills will be affected, positively.
So, what are window energy ratings?
Window energy ratings, also known as WERs were first introduced in March 2004. The idea was to ensure property owners knew how energy efficient their windows were. The scale foes from G right through to A++. Just like the older school grades, G is the worst rating and A++ is the grade for the most thermally efficient window.
When it comes to a good energy rating for the windows of your property, you could be looking at Grade C and above. Having windows with an energy rating of C will help you save on your energy and heating bills. C rating has been stated as the national standard for windows across the UK since late 2010.
However, if you are looking to really boost the energy efficiency of your home, while dramatically lowering your heating costs. Our high-performance A++ rated windows are for you. They are UPVC double glazed windows that will help keep your property warm during the colder weather months.
The innovative technology of the higher rated windows will give you significant savings on your energy bills. This is because the technology helps to minimise the heat that is lost through your windows, doors and frames.
It’s important to note that great quality and window energy ratings can only work with the right frames and professional window installation. The glass within the window is an essential part of the energy efficiency of your home. However, it will work best when combined with the right frames. The energy efficiency levels will be improved further when your windows and frames are professionally installed by experienced window fitters.
