As energy prices continue to rise and environmental concerns become more pressing, improving the energy efficiency of UK homes is more important than ever. At Right Angle Windows, we understand how the right choice of windows and doors can make a huge difference — both to your comfort and your energy bills.
Why Energy Efficiency Matters
According to the UK Government's Committee on Climate Change, heating accounts for over 60% of energy use in homes. A significant portion of that heat is lost through inefficient windows and doors, particularly in older properties. With better insulation, not only can you reduce your carbon footprint, but you can also save hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills.
How Windows Impact Energy Efficiency
Poorly insulated windows are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to heat loss. Here's how upgrading can help:
Double or Triple Glazing: These create an insulating barrier, trapping heat inside your home. Our high-performance glazing options help minimise heat transfer while maximising natural light.
upvc Frames: Modern upvc frames are low-maintenance and excellent at reducing thermal bridging compared to older aluminium or timber frames.
Warm Edge Spacers: These separate the panes in double glazing, reducing condensation and further boosting insulation.
Low-E Glass Coatings: A nearly invisible layer that reflects heat back into your room, keeping it warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Energy Ratings: What to Look For
All windows and doors are rated for energy efficiency, typically on a scale from A++ to G, with A++ being the most efficient. At Right Angle Windows, we only install A-rated or higher products, ensuring that every installation contributes to long-term savings and a warmer, more comfortable home.
Government Incentives and Building Regulations
If you're upgrading your windows or doors, it's essential to ensure they meet Part L of UK Building Regulations, which covers the conservation of fuel and power. We’re fully compliant with these regulations and can guide you through the latest updates. In some cases, you may even be eligible for grants or schemes supporting energy-efficient home improvements.
