UPVC Double Glazed Windows
Many homeowners still live in homes fitted with single glazed windows which are inefficient when compared to the superior thermal ratings for "A" rated double glazing.Under the Government's Green Deal plan these windows can be replaced under the grant scheme, and currently a cash-back scheme is being offered by providers of the scheme whereby part of the cost of supply and installation will be paid through the grant.

| Secondary Glazing Can Also Help Improve Property Energy Efficiency Ratings |
To qualify, homes must have single glazed windows installed throughout the property, an assessor will carry out a survey of the property to determine if the home is eligible for replacement windows. In addition secondary, or even triple glazing may be considered for fitting by a qualified installer.
Advisers will be able to provide Quotes from installation companies from your local area, however you are not obliged to use the companies that offer a quote, a homeowner can get a quote from any installer, provided they company is registered under the "green deal" scheme.
An approved double glazing installer will have identification and will display this sign:
As well as secondary glazing or triple glazed windows these companies can offer many services including, Loft Insulation, Cavity Wall Insulation, Solid Wall Insulation and Replacement Gas Boilers for homes.
Another benefit of the plan is that replacement external doors may be offered to residential premises that are fitted with uninsulated doors. These door will be manufactured from UPVC and have insulation between the door skins. To take advantage of this scheme refer to UPVC Doors.
The cash back scheme for Double Glazed Windows and all of these products listed is limited so it is best to book a green deal assessment before the offer expires.
