Energy Efficient Double Glazed Windows by Westech by Certainteed

Go double glazed before the heatwaves hit

You remember the feeling - too hot to get up but your bed's too hot to lie in! Air conditioning can help fight back the scorching wind but wouldn't it be better if your house simply stayed cool?

The solution is the insulating power and airtight seal of properly shaded CertainTeed double glazed windows, which are now more affordable.

"You probably think of soundproofing when you think double glazing." observes energy-efficiency consultant, Ross Wilson. "But a vital role for windows nowadays is energy efficiency. So most windows going into new homes in Europe and America are double glazed because it's literally against the law to waste energy!"

While eco-responsibility is admirable, feeling good in your skin is the best part of living in a double glazed home. Visitors will think you've installed central air-conditioning, so great is the reduction in temperature when they step inside. There's a peaceful, hushed ambience and a solid, secure feeling that goes with quality fit and finish.

"Obviously, as you leave and enter, outside heat will get in," Mr Wilson continued. "But even a small air conditioner will quickly make your home more liveable. Then you can simply turn it off, knowing your house will stay cool for hours."

Come winter, if your bones dread the cold and damp, you'll love your double glazing even more. The warmth of your heater will spread right through your house instead of going out the windows. You'll forget the urge to draw curtains at dusk. In fact you could do without curtains altogether, so great is the insulating power of effective double glazing. And you will enjoy free warmth from every ray of sunshine that comes through your windows and stays trapped inside.

Maintenance is another issue. If you've ever had to paint window frames, pay a painter or repair frames, you'll love the uPVC frames of CertainTeed windows. They never need painting, never rot, never rust. History shows the valuation of your home will rise as well.

Windows are made precisely to replace your old ones, installation is fast, with CertainTeed's 'window-out window-in' system and meticulous tradesmen.
