Start wrapping up warm with Thermal Solutions from Pilkington

Britain’s recent wintery weather may start causing some homeowners to feel the effects of the cold, experiencing draughts or cold spots because of old or poorly fitted glazing units. Often ill insulated, draughty properties – both old and new properties – can lose heat through all kinds of nooks and crannies – meaning vital energy escapes and energy bills soar.

Did you know that over 25% of the heat in your house escapes through your windows?

Replacing the heat lost through windows can be expensive. And with an ever increasing environmental awareness, coupled with the recent rise in energy costs, more emphasis is now being placed on ways to save energy in all types of domestic, commercial and public buildings.

As a high percentage of heat is lost through windows, replacing existing single glazed window glass with Pilkington energiKare™ thermally insulated windows could help reduce the amount of energy lost by up to 75%, lowering heating bills by up to 20% each year.
