Today's advanced performance PVC windows and doors can deliver significant energy savings. As such they can play a positive role in making your home more sustainable by helping you to cut your carbon footprint, not to mention the price of your heating bills.The average UK home produces 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Multiply that nationally and you get a total of 83 million tonnes.

The installation of advanced performance windows, for example a 'C' rated window, will save about 852kg of CO2 per year, per property - fit an 'A' rated window and the carbon saving becomes even greater.

So how much am I going to reduce my energy bill by.......?
Based on current energy prices fitting a minimum performance 'E' rated window compared to an old single glazed window will cut the average cost of heat loss to around £75 per year from £188 per year - a potential saving of £113.

If a 'C' rated window is fitted energy loss drops £30 and should an 'A' rated window be installed the financial cost of heat loss is eliminated altogether - resulting in a saving of £188 per year.
