• Double Glazing – the frame to your home

  If your glass unit starts to mist up this does not always mean you need new windows, Taylor Made Construction can replace the glass saving you money on new frames.

  The purpose of windows is to allow light to enter your home, allow fresh air to circulate and provide a way of escape. All properties lose heat through their windows, but energy-efficient glazing keeps your home warmer and quieter as well as reducing your energy bills.

  Your home is an extension of your personality and your taste. Have you ever looked at a wall in your house and wondered “Why isn’t there a window there?” The importance of where your windows are located in your home is often overlooked and sometimes not properly thought out. We always encourage homeowners that a window can be installed anywhere in their house. Proper window placement encourages good ventilation. It can also minimize heating costs in the winter by providing adequate solar heat gain. Window placement can also affect your furniture and carpeting because overtime fading can occur from damaging UV rays.

  Optimal use of the Sun Light:

  The correct Position and Placement of a Window in your room enables you to make the maximum use of the day light and gives light in the room. If the rooms and doors are of the optimized size, you tend to have a perfect blend of the fresh air along with a good amount of sunlight entering your rooms, which also contributes in the room looking brighter.

  How energy-efficient glazing works

  Double-glazed windows have two sheets of glass with a gap between them, usually about 22mm, to create an insulating barrier that keeps heat in. This is sometimes filled with argon gas. Triple-glazed windows have three sheets of glass, but aren’t always better than double-glazed windows: to choose the most energy-efficient window look for the BFRC rating and Energy Saving Trust Recommended logo. Energy-efficient windows come in a range of frame materials and styles.

  They also vary, depending on:

  • how well they stop heat from passing through the window
  • how much sunlight travels through the glass
  • how little air can leak in or out around the window

  What to look for

  Glass: The most energy-efficient glass for double glazing is low emissivity (Low-E) glass. This often has an unnoticeable coating of metal oxide, normally on one of the internal panes next to the gap. This lets in light and heat but cuts the amount of heat that can get out.

  In between: Very efficient windows might use gases such as argon, xenon or krypton in the gap between the sheets of glass.

  Pane spacers: These are set around the inside edges to keep the two panes of glass apart. For maximum efficiency, look for pane spacers containing little or no metal – often known as ‘warm edge’ spacers.

  Frame materials

  For all frame materials there are windows available in all energy ratings.

  • uPVC frames last a long time and can be recycled.
  • Wooden frames can have a lower environmental impact, but require maintenance. They are often used in conservation areas where the original windows were timber framed.
  • Aluminium or steel frames are slim and long-lasting, and can be recycled.
  • Composite frames have an inner timber frame covered with aluminium or plastic. This reduces the need for maintenance and keeps the frame weatherproof.

  Energy rating

  Some window manufacturers show the energy efficiency of their products using an energy rating scheme from A to G – like the one used for appliances such as fridges. The whole window (the frame and the glass) is assessed separately on its efficiency at retaining heat. The scheme is run by the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC). Taylor Made Construction uses A rated frames and A rated glass.

  Ventilation

  Replacement windows will be more airtight than your original frames, so condensation may build up in your house due to the reduced ventilation. If your house does not have much background ventilation, look for replacement windows with trickle vents incorporated into the frame to let in a small amount of controlled ventilation.

  If you start to see condensation building up around your windows, there may be a damp problem in your home. As a general rule damp occurs when there is inadequate ventilation, inadequate heating, inadequate insulation or a combination of these, or even over insulated walls or loft. If you’ve started to notice condensation in between the panes of glass in your double-glazing units then it is likely that the seal is broken, and the unit will need to be replaced.
