A new survey has shown that UK householders consider energy efficiency when selecting products for home improvements.
The poll, carried out by Epwin, proved that consumers are interested in the ‘quantifiable’ elements of sustainability – those that offer financial payback, such as reducing energy bills. This was illustrated in the attitudes of those questioned about the purchase of new windows and doors.

Here at Dual Glaze, our windows and doors will help 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.
All of our energy efficient glass is fully-energy rated by the BFRC – the UK’s national system for rating the energy efficiency of windows. 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 windows you are buying. The higher the energy rating, the more energy efficient the product is.
Here at Dual Glaze we offer A, B or C rated windows to allow consumers to make an informed choice about the energy performance of the product they choose.
Jim Rawson, chairman of the Epwin Group who carried out the survey, said: “People are feeling the pinch of austerity. Energy efficiency – something that could be converted into an immediately quantifiable financial return in lower fuel bills – remained a significant influence when people chose their products for home improvements.”
It is estimated by the Energy Saving Trust that you save about £135 per year on your bills by replacing all your single glazed windows with energy efficient glazing.
