As the winter chill sets in, staying warm and cutting down on energy bills becomes a priority for homeowners. Excellence Windows & Doors, based in Kilkenny, are renowned specialists in producing, replacing, and installing uPVC windows and doors made in Ireland. Here, we provide actionable advice to help you reduce energy costs while keeping your home warm during the cold months.
Why Choose Excellence Windows & Doors?
Kilkenny homeowners and businesses trust Excellence Windows & Doors for their commitment to quality and energy efficiency. We offer a wide range of uPVC windows and doors, expertly crafted to suit both modern and traditional homes. Manufactured in Ireland, our products ensure durability, security, and unparalleled insulation to protect against the harshest weather conditions.
The Role of uPVC in Energy Efficiency
uPVC is a leading material for windows and doors, known for its excellent thermal performance. By reducing heat transfer, uPVC helps retain warmth inside your home, lowering reliance on heating systems. Installing uPVC windows and doors from Excellence Windows & Doors not only enhances comfort but also contributes significantly to reducing your energy consumption.
Tips to Save Money on Energy Bills This Winter
1. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors
Replacing old, draughty windows and doors with modern, energy-efficient uPVC models is one of the most effective ways to reduce heat loss. Excellence Windows & Doors offers triple-glazed options, which provide superior insulation compared to standard double glazing.
Benefits of Triple Glazing:
Reduces heat loss by up to 40%.
Minimises condensation, protecting frames and furnishings.
Enhances soundproofing for a quieter, more peaceful home.
2. Seal Gaps and Draughts
Even the smallest gaps around windows and doors can lead to significant heat loss. Use draught excluders, weatherstripping, or sealants to eliminate leaks. At Excellence Windows & Doors, we ensure that every installation is completed with precision to prevent air leakage.
Maximising Energy Efficiency with uPVC Products
1. The Science of Low-E Glass
Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass is a game-changer for energy efficiency. It features a special coating that reflects heat back into your home while allowing sunlight to enter. Our uPVC windows can be fitted with Low-E glass, providing an excellent balance of insulation and natural light.
2. Multi-Chambered Frames for Superior Insulation
The unique multi-chambered design of uPVC frames helps trap air, acting as a barrier against heat loss. These frames are lightweight, durable, and designed to meet Ireland’s energy efficiency standards.
Additional Ways to Stay Warm During the Big Freeze
1. Use Thermal Curtains and Blinds
Heavy curtains or thermal blinds can block cold air from entering through windows. For maximum effect, pair these with Excellence Windows & Doors' draught-proof uPVC installations.
2. Optimise Your Heating System
Ensure your boiler is serviced and working efficiently. Use a programmable thermostat to heat your home only when necessary. Combine this with the insulation benefits of uPVC windows and doors for noticeable savings.
3. Insulate Your Home
Invest in loft and wall insulation to prevent heat from escaping. Coupled with our energy-efficient products, you can create a warmer, more energy-efficient environment.
