With energy prices continuing to rise, you need windows that insulate your home, help to reduce fuel bills and cut carbon emissions
All properties lose heat through their windows, but by installing energy efficient double glazing in your property, you can keep your home warmer and quieter, as well as significantly reducing your energy bills.
Whether you choose uPVC or aluminium windows, all our double glazing encompasses the very latest thermal technology, achieving an ‘A’ Windows Energy Rating.
Benefits of upgrading to energy efficient windows
Replacing all single glazed windows in a typical semi-detached house with our A-rated frames will give you a saving of up to £4000 over 10 years on fuel bills. To help us achieve A-rated windows, Kingfisher uses Planitherm Glass, a brand of low-E glass that is designed to stop heat escaping by reflecting it back into a room, whilst capturing warmth from natural sunlight, keeping your home warmer naturally.
Enhanced thermal performance with Planitherm
Planitherm Glass offers a number of key benefits that clearly differentiate it from standard double glazing and other low-E glazing. Planitherm double glazed units are soft coated, offering significantly better thermal insulation compared to hard coated low-E products:
- Planitherm softcoat low-E glass inner pane reflects heat back into the room (low U value)
- Diamant glass outer pane helps capture heat from the sun (G value)
- Enhanced thermal insulation compared to standard double glazing
- Eliminates cold areas around windows
- Warmer glass surface helps to reduce condensation on the inner pane
- Argon gas filled units reduce heat loss through the double glazing
Other features of Planitherm Glass include
- Maximises the amount of natural light into the home
- Exceptional clarity, without haze or tint effects
- Improved noise absorption qualities for a quieter living space
Kingfisher double glazed windows also feature an Edgetech warm edge spacer bar, which separate the panes of glass in a double glazed unit. These conduct less heat or cold than traditional aluminium spacer bars, for the ultimate insulated windows.
