Start wrapping up warm with Thermal Solutions from Pilkington

Often ill insulated, draughty properties – both old and new properties – can lose heat through all kinds of nooks and crannies – meaning vital energy escapes and energy bills soar.

Did you know that over 25% of the heat in your house escapes through your windows?

Replacing the heat lost through windows can be expensive. And with an ever increasing environmental awareness, coupled with the recent rise in energy costs, more emphasis is now being placed on ways to save energy in all types of domestic, commercial and public buildings.

Thermal glazing solutions are now playing an ever important role in improving the energy efficiency and insulation in homes.

As a high percentage of heat is lost through windows, replacing existing single glazed window glass with Pilkington energiKare™ thermally insulated windows could help reduce the amount of energy lost by up to 75%, lowering heating bills by up to 20% each year.

Pilkington energiKare™ differs from basic glazing as it works in two ways. It reduces the amount of heat lost through windows, but also allows more heat (energy) from the sun in through the glass. This effect is known as solar gain and you’ll benefit from its effects all year round, for free.

Pilkington K Glass™,  Pilkington K Glass^™ S or Pilkington K Glass^™ OW make up the inner pane of the double glazing unit and its primary function is to prevent heat escaping through your windows and return the heat back into your home.
