Consumers already struggling with household bills have been dealt a further blow with news that energy prices look set to rise by up to 20% next month.

The price hike has been blamed on the wholesale price of gas increasing but this will provide little comfort to the many millions in the UK who are already facing financial hardship and living under the constant threat of redundancy.

Here at Dual Glaze Services Ltd we believe now is the perfect time for homeowners to reassess the energy efficiency of their homes and take positive steps to minimise the impact of price hikes on their bills. Their initial investment now will soon be refunded with cheaper energy bills and a lower carbon footprint.

We offer a range of energy efficient glazing products which helps reduce energy bills and keep your home warmer and more comfortable.

All homes lose heat through the windows. Energy efficient windows help to contain and conserve heat within your home by keeping out wind and rain, resisting condensation and allowing the natural warmth of the sun to heat your home.

They can be made using any frame material – aluminium, PVC-U, steel or timber – and a variety of designs which means they will blend in with the architecture of any home.

If your home is single-glazed or your double-glazing was installed prior to April 2002, then you may be losing more heat than necessary and should investigate the possibility of ordering replacement windows.
Here at Dual Glaze we have multi-chambered PVCu construction and energy efficient glass that will help keep heat in your home and is fully energy-rated by the BFRC – the UK’s national system for rating the energy efficiency of windows. It is recognised within building regulations as a way of showing compliance for your replacement windows installation.
Window energy ratings use a traffic light system of A through to E which allows consumers to make an informed choice about the energy efficiency of the windows they are buying. The higher the energy rating, the more energy efficient the product is.

Dual Glaze offers A, B and C rated windows to allow consumers to make an informed choice about the energy performance of the product they choose.
