'A' Rated Energy Windows,
the highest industry rating available . . |
|
With energy efficiency becoming increasingly more important in this world
of rising fuel costs so it is important that you make the right decision
when
it comes to the energy ratings of your windows.
At Solihull Windows and Conservatories we offer you the option of having
your new PVCu windows with a 'A' rated energy window, the highest
industry rating available. Our white PVCu windows are capable
of achieving anything from an ‘A’ to an ‘E’ rating,
simply by changing
the specification of the sealed units.
Our double glazed sealed units for achieving 'A' rated energy windows
are manufactured and made-up as follows using Saint Gobain materials .

What are the benefits of the SGG Planitherm range
compared
. . to other traditional hard coat low-E
glass?
SGG Planitherm Total combines excellent thermal insulation with
high
solar heat gain, making it one of the most energy efficient products
available for WER's (Window Energy Ratings).
SGG Planitherm is manufactured using the most technologically
advanced coating process to offer: Better thermal insulation - reducing
heat
loss further (around 24% better than traditional hard coats) saving you
even
more money on your heating bills and making your room more comfortable.
Less energy wastage is also better for the environment!

Less of a tint to the glass - this
gives clearer vision through your
windows and means your curtains
or Georgian Bars for example do
not look dirty or discoloured.
More light, less tint also means
more light can enter the room,
making a more comfortable
environment and reducing the
need for extra lighting inside.
Less chance of ‘haze’ (dusty effect)
this effect is common with traditional
types of thermally insulating glass
due to the way it is manufactured.

Using SGG Planitherm low-E glass as standard in all energy rated
windows, thermally insulating glass (also known as low-emissivity or
low-E glass) usually forms the inner pane of an insulated glass unit (IGU).
The glass has a transparent metallic coating that reflects heat from
radiators back into the room, rather than allowing it to escape through
the windows. At the same time it allows free heat and light from the sun
(known as passive solar heat gain) to pass through the glass, warming
your home and further contributing to the energy efficiency of your windows.
