Energy Saving
ENERGY SAVING AND SUSTAINABILITY
We’re passionate about energy saving, and understand that many of you are too. We understand our responsibility as a business, and as individuals with families that all have to play our part to help reduce carbon emissions, and protect our environment for future generations.
This starts with the high efficiency of our products and the quality of our installations, but also extends to how we run every aspect our business. We’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint, and have introduced many changes to help us be more efficient.
We work from home where we can, and have already started introducing electric vehicles to our fleet. We also work closely with suppliers to help our deliveries be more efficient.
We are proud to provide our customers with windows and doors with the very highest standards of insulation available today, and to be helping to keep energy and warmth where it should be, inside your home keeping you and your family warm and cosy.
Our extensive experience and knowledge means that we are well placed to advise the best way to insulate your property to the very highest standard. Using a combination of specialist energy efficient glass, Argon gas filled sealed units and high tech insulating spacer bars we can offer you the very highest accredited ‘A+’ rated energy efficient windows available so that you are keeping the heat inside your home, saving money on your heating bills, and doing your bit for the environment at the same time.
WHY YOU SHOULD SELECT ENERGY EFFICIENT REPLACEMENT WINDOWS
80% Reduction in Heat Loss…
According to the Energy Savings Trust an average home can lose as much as 20% of its heat through the windows. On older buildings, with original, single glazed glass, this figure could well be much higher. By upgrading your windows to our UPVC ‘A’ Energy Rated products you can help to reduce this figure, in fact, tests have shown that you can reduce the heat loss through your windows by almost 80%.
So, the obvious benefits of installing new highly efficient windows are clear; keep you and your family warm, and save money (and the world!) while you are doing it. But there are other benefits too. You will also notice a marked difference in the noise insulation, as our new windows block out the sound, and also the gaps that may have previously let the sound in through your old windows. In most cases condensation can be reduced as the internal pane of glass is far warmer than the original single glazed pane. Condensation can cause unsightly mould around windows which can be difficult to keep clean.
Modern technology, but still traditional looks…
But how about if you are in a conservation area or a listed building, but still want the benefits of modern insulation standards? Well all is not lost, more and more often these days our traditional timber alternative products are being accepted in conservation areas where the thought of installing modern UPVC windows and doors would’ve previously been considered heresy.
Local authorities are slowly but surely coming round to the fact that we can replicate beautiful original timber or steel windows in other materials, with the additional benefit of low maintenance and our high insulation standards. Don’t forget the option of secondary glazing either. We offer a full range of different styles to suit every property, and ensure that you can easily access the primary windows for maintenance, cleaning and ventilation.
There are also other things that you can do to help with the overall insulation of your home.
Take a look at the Energy Savings Trust website for more information on things like roof and cavity wall insulation. And there’s always the old failsafe of thick curtains to help keep your heat in and the cold winter nights out.
Sustainability
Here at the Barnet Window Company we’re passionate about Energy Saving.
We’re committed to doing our bit to contribute to the ongoing fight against climate change by improving the thermal efficiency of new and existing homes in our local area.
But that’s just one part of our green approach. Here’s a selection of positive steps we’re taking to ensure we’re doing our bit:-
MORE EFFICIENT PRODUCTS
We work with our suppliers who are embracing innovative technology to ensure the thermal performance of our windows and doors continues to improve. This way we can lead the way in helping to achieve the zero carbon target for new homes that is being set by the government’s Future Homes Standard.
WASTE
Part of our service to customers always includes the removal and responsible disposal of their old windows and doors. We work closely with our waste partners to make sure that we prioritise waste reduction, reuse and recycling.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
We are constantly evaluating our supply chain and prioritizing working with suppliers who focus on sustainable practices. This includes responsible sourcing of materials as well as considering the lifecycle of products.
PROCESSES & PRACTICES
We carried out a sustainability audit of our entire business. This allowed us to assess all our operations, processes, and supply chains to identify areas for environmental improvements. This included evaluating energy consumption, waste generation and carbon emissions.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
We’re committed to embracing a culture of continuous improvement by seeking innovative ways to further reduce our environmental impact. By staying informed about emerging technologies and industry trends we hope to constantly improve our sustainability efforts
