5 Ways Energy Efficient Windows Can Transform Your Home

Writer's picture: SRN Home ImprovementsSRN Home Improvements

In today's economy, and with the summer coming to a close, homes throughout the UK are expected to be cranking up their heating and trying to stay warm. With the rise in energy bills and gas prices that we've seen over the last few years, it's becoming more and more expensive for homes to have the heating on. But, there are other ways to keep your home warm throughout the winter, and improve the heat efficiency of your property. Our blog looks at some of the ways that energy efficient windows can help your home stay warm over the winter and regulate temperatures throughout the summer too. To learn more about energy efficient windows, and why they might be the right choice for you, keep on reading. 


Understanding Energy Efficient Windows 


Energy efficient windows are windows that come with two or three layers of additional glass. Double glazed windows will have two sheets of glass with a gap in between, and triple glazing will have three sheets of glass, with two gaps. Double and triple glazing are both effective ways to improve the efficiency of your windows, and keep heat within your home. 



How Can Energy Efficient Windows Benefit My Property? 


Energy efficient windows aren’t just useful in the winter, and can actually be an excellent investment for your property. Keep reading below to learn more about why energy efficient windows are so beneficial to your home. 


Reducing Energy Bills 


Energy efficient windows, whether you have double or triple glazing, have many benefits for reducing your energy bills. During the winter months, a lot of heat can escape your home through poorly insulated and inefficient windows. Double and triple glazing can be very effective for keeping heat in, and maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home. With more heat staying inside your home, you won't have to have your heating on as frequently or for such long periods, helping you reduce your spending on gas and bills. 


Regulating The Temperature Of Your Home


Energy efficient windows are designed to regulate the temperature of your home, not just in the winter, but all year round. Because of the nature of double and triple glazing, they provide superior insulation, which helps to keep the heat in during the colder months, and creates a more stable indoor temperature during the summer. For UK homes in the summer, not many properties have HVAC systems with air conditioning, and investing in energy efficient windows can be a favourable option. 


Increase Property Value


For homeowners who are thinking about selling their property at some point in the future, investing in energy efficient windows can be a huge selling point, increasing your home value. Energy efficient windows show buyers that your home is updated, and it is one less amendment they will need to consider when buying or moving into a property. 


UV Protection 


Beyond temperature benefits, energy efficient windows are also great for blocking out harmful UV rays. It's no secret that the sun's UV rays can cause your furniture, flooring and carpet to bleach over time, leaving you with UV damaged items. Energy efficient windows are ideal for blocking out the harmful rays, while still allowing sunlight to come through, giving you plenty of natural light without the dangerous UV rays. 


Environmental Benefits


Energy efficient windows are beneficial to properties and homeowners, but they are also useful for protecting the environment too. As we've discussed, reducing your home's reliance on gas and heating throughout the winter can massively reduce your heating bills, and in turn, the amount of fossil fuels being burned to heat your home. Energy efficient windows are excellent for the environment, and reduce a households carbon footprint massively, and contributing to reduced emissions in general.
