There are a multitude of benefits of installing energy-efficient windows to your home or office. We believe that all glass installation should aim towards energy efficiency. Some benefits include:
Energy savings
By having energy-efficient windows, the temperature within the property is more controlled and you can stop spending money on airconditioning bills.
Comfortable living area
Built to keep unnecessary wind drafts out, installing energy-efficient windows can boost the comfort of the property by giving you more control over the weather that’s let into the property.
Less damage to property
UV rays can damage assets within the house like fade sofa fabric, carpet, and artwork. Energy-efficient windows are coated with a protective tint that stops UV rays passing through the glass, protecting your assets from damaging UV rays.
Increased property value
Low-E glass is a long-term investment towards making a home or office building more energy-efficient, inevitably adding more value to the property.
Sustainable Window Selections for Perth
Industry studies have identified the Perth metropolitan region as being in a Mixed Climate Zone referred to as Zone 5.
Beautiful windows are possibly the most complex and interesting elements in the fabric of our homes. They provide light and fresh air, and offer views that connect our interior living spaces with the great outdoors. However, ordinary windows can also represent a major source of unwanted heat gain in summer and significant heat loss in winter. Today, remarkable new framing and glazing materials have changed the energy performance of windows in a radical way.
