Pilkington United Kingdom "Modern glazing plays a critical role in the built environment - comprising expansive parts of building envelopes, and as a key component in any buildings' climate control capabilities. Making the world's leading structural glazing system available through BIM is a natural step for us." Said: Michael Metcalfe, head of sales - UK processing, at Pilkington UK,
Deceuninck "Energy efficiency and security are key drivers of window and door purchases but colour, aesthetics and finish, are increasingly important, cited by 75% of respondents in our poll as an influence on their purchasing decisions." said: Rob McGlennon, managing director,
ISO Chemie "Systematically maintained building data helps the operator throughout the structure’s life cycle with the knowledge of what has been installed and where. If a window has to be replaced in 30 years' time, it will be clearly identifiable which products were used and which component connections are affected. So renovations can be planned efficiently and carried out under controlled conditions." said Andy Swift, sales & operations manager.
Yale Door and Window Solutions "The relationship with Yale is truly a perfect fit for our business. We know that when we're using hardware marked with the Yale logo, we're not only incorporating expert security into our products but also shared values on quality, customer experience, and customers seem to appreciate the fact that it is a UK manufactured product." comments: Andy Springall, - First Home Improvements,
What makes a window energy efficient?
According to the Government Department for Energy, heat transfer through windows can account for up to 30 per cent of residential heating and cooling energy usage. Increasing the efficiency of windows will help combat climate change by lowering emissions from the building sector. Here Nick Cowley, managing director of uPVC windows manufacturer, Euramax, looks at the important features to look out for when selecting an energy efficient window.
The World Green Building Council states that building operation is responsible for 28 per cent of global emissions. Updating windows is an easy way to significantly increase the efficiency of a home and could save up to £155 a year on energy bills.
he rate of heat transfer through a window can be measured by its U-value, which for well insulated windows is low. A U-value is calculated by looking at how many watts of energy are lost through a square metre of window, for every degree Kelvin difference in temperature between the inside and the outside. ... … »
Independent Deceuninck poll finds colour is key
The findings of an independent survey of UK homeowners suggests that colour and finish are key factors in determining their purchasing decisions.
Revealed this month [March], the survey conducted by leading pollster, YouGov, and commissioned by Deceuninck, found that at a headline level 75% of homeowners surveyed think that choice of colour is important in shaping their purchasing decisions.
Security, energy efficiency and sustainability, were also cited by respondents as key influences on their purchasing decisions. Price point was also a significant factor for some groupings but less so for others.
Rob McGlennon, Managing Director, Deceuninck, said: “Energy efficiency and security are key drivers of window and door purchases but colour, aesthetics and finish, are increasingly important, cited by 75% of respondents in our poll as an influence on their purchasing decisions.... … »
