Feeling The Squeeze?
SWDS/009 April 2008
With the tightening in the credit crunch continuing to take its toll on the residential property market, coupled with soaring fuel and food bills and plunging incomes, many UK home owners are struggling to make ends meet.
Home owners could save over £250 per year on their utility bills, and add value to their home at the same time, by having good quality PVCu doors and windows, says Paul Lindsay, General Manager of Swish Windows and Door Systems.
PVCu offers great thermal insulation, which means lower bills and good energy efficiency. Paul adds: “This could rise to a saving of £250 each year by fitting an A-rated window over a single glazed window. The cost of heat loss is eliminated all together, even positively delivering heat into the property through solar gain.
“As a general rule of thumb, as with most things in life, the more you’re willing to pay the better the performance of your window. However in today’s economic climate not everyone can afford to fit new doors and windows throughout. If you can't afford to replace them all, you could always choose the rooms that cost you the most to heat. Even fitting a cheaper minimum E-rated window compared to an old single glazed window will cut the cost of heat loss and save £150 per year.”
Swish’s product range is available nationwide from Swish Approved Installers (visit swishwindows.co.uk to find your nearest installer) who will measure and fit them.
