Fitting uPVC double glazing to a house will contribute to fighting off the cold and reduce the energy bills of the property. Considerable amounts of energy can be saved on a house that is fitted with uPVC double glazing, especially when complemented by cavity wall insulation; with certain types of double glazed windows being able to reduce heat loss by up to 90%.

Double glazing windows consist of two panes of low emission glass that are covered with a thin coating of metal in order to reflect thermal radiation. Alexander Windows of Stockport manufacture their own windows and Sales and Marketing Director Richard Robinson explains the benefits of his products. UPVC double glazed windows inhibit heat emission, thereby reducing heat transfer. The heat from the sun is retained within the building by the air space between the two glass panes. This effect is known as the solar gain because the heat from the sun is retained by the uPVC double glazed window. This means that heating bills are considerably reduced as the heat is retained inside the building. So you get to avoid turning on your central heating for longer periods of time.
