The Importance of Insulation when it comes to Energy Efficient Windows and Doors
As energy costs continue to rise, creating an energy-efficient home has become a top priority for many homeowners. One of the most significant factors in achieving this is proper insulation in your doors and windows. At Select Windows, we understand that premium insulation not only enhances your home’s comfort, but also saves you money while reducing your environmental footprint.
Why Insulation Matters
Doors and windows are often the weakest points in a home’s thermal envelope, particularly when it comes to those that are worn or outdated, allowing heat to escape during winter and infiltrate during summer – resulting in an increase in energy bills and inconsistent indoor temperatures. Insulation acts as a barrier, helping maintain the desired temperature in your home throughout the year. By investing in well-insulated windows and doors, you can enjoy reduced energy consumption, lower energy costs, and a more comfortable living environment.
Designed for Efficiency
At Select Windows, we offer a wide range of windows and doors designed with energy efficiency and style in mind. These include:
Double-Glazing
Double glazing is one of the most effective ways to improve insulation. These windows and doors feature two panes of glass with an insulating layer of air or gas between them. This design significantly reduces heat transfer, minimises condensation, and blocks outside noise.
Environmentally Sustainable Timber
For homeowners seeking a combination of classic elegance and eco-friendliness, our sustainably sourced timber windows and timber doors are an excellent choice. Timber is a natural insulator that provides superior thermal performance, while adding warmth and character to your home.
Aluminium
Renowned for their durability and modern aesthetic, aluminium windows and doors are another popular option. While aluminium conducts heat, our products are designed with thermal breaks that reduce heat transfer, making them a cost-effective and efficient choice.
Energy-Efficiency
Whether you prefer sliding, French, or bi-fold doors, our range includes options with excellent insulation properties. Paired with double glazing or insulated cores, these doors help keep your home sealed from the elements.
The Energy-Saving Benefits of Double Glazing
Double glazing is one of the most effective ways to improve insulation. These windows and doors feature two panes of glass with an insulating layer of air between them, designed to significantly reduce heat transfer, minimise condensation, and block outside noise – ideal for those homes located in busy urban areas or near a main road. With the added benefit of reducing condensation, double-glazed windows and doors also help protect your home from mold and damp.
That said, double-glazed windows and doors are an energy-efficiency game-changer, reducing heat loss by up to 50% compared to single-pane alternatives. This not only saves you money on heating and cooling, but also makes your home more environmentally friendly by reducing your carbon footprint.
Sustainably ‘Green’
Sustainability is one of our core values. Our timber windows and doors are crafted from responsibly sourced materials, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. As timber is a renewable resource with natural insulating properties, it outperforms many synthetic materials. This, combined with modern glazing techniques, our timber windows and doors offer unmatched thermal performance while exuding timeless elegance.
Aluminium Windows – Durable and Cost-Effective
Aluminium windows and doors are an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a balance of durability, style, and affordability. Resistant to corrosion and requiring minimal maintenance, aluminium frames are built to last. At Select Windows, we enhance the energy efficiency of our aluminium windows and doors by incorporating advanced thermal break technology, ensuring they are both stylish and functional.
