When it comes to energy efficiency, everyone wants to save money, but nobody wants to pay for the privilege.
It’s a pretty fine balancing act weighing the cost of increased efficiency against the short and long term savings.
At Aluminium Windows Ltd we’ve looked at the whole issue from every perspective.
We believe that the best gains for the least investment are to be had in the selection of glass sealed units.
Every glass supplier offers sealed units comprised of various combinations of high tech glass and gas infusions between the panes. This is fine as far as it goes, but it just doesn’t go far enough.
Super Spacer Technology
FACT. Most of the energy loss through a window occurs at the edge of the glass because of the highly conductive nature of metal spacers.
AWL have attacked and solved the problem by using the Edgetech Super Spacer in the sealed units fitted to the windows that they manufacture.
Super Spacer incorporates an innovative new insulating material that can improve energy loss by as much as 94%.
Super Spacer is 950 times less conductive than aluminium and acts as a barrier to the heat that escapes at the edge of the window.
This means that your new windows will be up to 65% warmer at the edge, helping to eliminate those cold spots in the room.
Noise Reduction
And the good news doesn’t stop at reduced energy bills. If you live near a school, a busy road or shopping area, new windows fitted with Super Spacer from Aluminium Windows Ltd will reduce noise levels by up to two decibels. He structural foam of the Super Spacer will absorb those annoying noises, creating a haven of calm and tranquillity.
Health Benefits of Energy Efficient Aluminium Windows
Then there are the health considerations that are not usually mentioned. Ask any asthma sufferer about the mould growth that is an inevitable part of the condensation that forms at the edges of windows.
This forms a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and is a danger to anyone who suffers from respiratory conditions. By reducing heat loss at the window edge, Super Spacer will reduce condensation by a massive 70%. This virtually eliminates mould growth and the it’s dangerous bacteria.
So, Window Energy Ratings are only part of the story. You can also choose to save energy by turning down the thermostat, turning off lights, not leaving appliances on standby, replacing old light bulbs for more efficient ones and using economy programs on domestic appliances.
