Are You Ready to Save Money this Winter?

At Select Products, we are passionate about double glazing. With over 20 years of experience, we understand how vital double glazing is in your home. With the cost of living crisis rising, it is imperative that you find ways of saving money, so we are on hand to help you.

Double glazing has many benefits for your home, and one of them is helping save money on energy bills. How does it help you save money? In this article, we will give you some helpful tips. Read on to find out more.

Double Glazing Saves on Heating Bills

Choosing double glazing is ideal because it provides outstanding energy efficiency in your home. The glazing is separated by a thick pane of argon gas. This creates a polyamide thermal barrier that retains natural heat in your home. It is ideal in the winter because the central heating won’t have to work as hard. The glass is sealed together to create a barrier where cold air can’t enter your home.

What’s more, it is imperative that your double glazed products come with an airtight and watertight weather seal. Prevent draught spots and cold air from entering your living space, so you will get a build that ensures natural warmth in your property. You will also benefit from a quieter home as the thick double glazing panes are soundproof as well, ensuring that you will benefit from a quieter home over time.

Will I See A Reduction in Energy Bills When I Choose Double Glazing?

At Select, we are accredited by the BFRC, ensuring each window gets assessed for heat loss and draughts entering your home. The highest letter indicates better thermal efficiency, allowing you to save more.

When you have an installation that includes double glazing, feel confident that you will see a reduction in energy bills due to the outstanding heat insulation. At Select, our products are A rated for thermal efficiency because we work with market leading installers Ultraframe. Our conservatories offer U values of 0.15, which are some of the lowest on the market.

Choosing double glazing for your home will save homeowners between £120 – £155 on their heating bills, while in a semi detatched house, they can also save between £80 and £110. This is a significant reduction, allowing them to spend money on the things that are most important to them.

 What If I Have A Single Glazed Property

Did you know that around 7% of households don’t have double glazing, while heat is lost twice as fast in a single glazed property? Upgrading to double glazing will not only reduce heat loss but save on energy bills as you don’t need to turn the lights on as much.

Cut Back on Colours and Georgian Bars

We understand that bespoke services are popular with our double glazing products as this helps homeowners be creative. But this actually adds to the extra expense, especially if saving money is a priority. With this in mind, it is important to go back to basics, as taking these features away could save you hundreds of pounds. What’s more, by limiting the amount of hardware in the windows, this will cut the costs as well.

Invest in uPVC Windows and Doors

At Select, we offer both aluminium and uPVC windows for your home in Leeds. However, because aluminium is a precious metal, it also has a higher cost. uPVC in comparison is a cost effective material. By choosing a uPVC product with double glazing, you save around £195 a year on energy bills.

Choosing low emission glass is another cost effective way of saving money. This is a natural insulator of heat that reflects warm air back into your home. Its transparent microscopic coating will improve the thermal efficiency straight away.
