Types of Thermally Efficient Windows
When you choose T&K Home Improvements, we offer a wide variety of thermally efficient replacement windows. Our replacement windows are a great way to make sure your home is warmer in the long term. One of the first things you might be wondering is “what type of energy-efficiency windows should I choose?” This helpful guide will take you through some of our energy efficient replacement window options, alongside some of the glazing designs. Read on to find out more.
Upgrade to Our Double Glazed Replacement Windows
Double glazed replacement windows consist of two panes of glass with a layer of air or gas (usually argon or krypton) in between. This design provides better insulation and reduces heat transfer, making your home more energy efficient. Double glazed windows also offer improved sound insulation and can help reduce outside noise.
If you are an environmentally conscious homeowner in the Northampton area, our double glazed windows can help reduce your carbon footprint. In addition to preserving heat during the winter months, they can help increase ventilation during the summertime. This way, fresh air can enter your home, saving on air conditioning bills.
You can also add a personal touch when you choose our replacement windows. Whether it’s acoustic glass or decorative glazing, your windows will certainly stand out from the crowd, giving your home the wow factor.
Low E Coated Replacement Windows Reflect Heat Into Your Home
Low-E (low-emissivity) coating is a thin, transparent layer applied to the glass surface of windows. This coating helps to reflect heat back into the room during the winter and prevent heat from entering during the summer. Low-E coating windows can significantly improve the energy efficiency of your home and reduce your reliance on heating and cooling systems.
In fact, our Low E replacement windows can be up to 40% more energy efficient than conventional double-glazed windows. Low E glass works by installing a plastic film. This ensures our thermally efficient replacement windows allow short-wave radiation from the sun into your home but don’t allow long-wave heat radiation to escape in the opposite direction. From the inside, the metal coating is hard to spot with the naked eye. However, from the outside, the low e-glass can appear slightly mirrored on the replacement windows.
Choose Triple Glazed Windows For Extra Protection
Triple glazed windows are similar to double glazed windows but with an additional pane of glass. This extra layer of glass provides even better insulation and thermal performance. Triple glazed windows are ideal for areas with extreme climates or for homeowners who are looking for maximum energy efficiency levels.
But that’s not all because triple glazing can help reduce condensation levels in your home. Our replacement windows are better at reducing heat in your home, so the inner pane of our windows has a higher surface temperature than a single pane window. What’s more, the warm and moist air that is present is less likely to turn into condensation. Having an extra layer of glass will ensure that your Northamptonshire home is soundproof, which could help cut out loud noises.
Which Materials Are Most Energy Efficient
When considering energy-efficient replacement windows for your home, it is important to consider the materials used. uPVC window frames deliver an extra layer of insulation, helping to keep natural heat inside your home. This could be ideal for saving money on your energy bills.
We also offer aluminium thermally efficient windows that are strong and durable against tough conditions. These replacement windows are great for cutting out loud noises—perfect if you live in a busy area or by a main road.
