We provide homeowners with energy efficient double glazed windows, doors, conservatories, orangeries, extensions and replacement roof systems. We also offer triple glazing for homeowners seeking maximum thermal efficiency.
If you want to make your home more energy efficient but are not sure where to start – keep reading! In this article, we are sharing the best home improvement projects for a reduced carbon footprint and cheaper energy bills.
Energy Efficient Home Improvements
• Upgrade Your Windows
If your home is struggling to maintain its natural heat, underperforming windows could be the culprit. Studies have shown that homes lose approximately 30% of their heat through their windows. With heat escaping from your property, you will find yourself relying on central heating more frequently. Keeping your heating on high will hike up your heating bills and negatively impact the planet.
By switching to energy efficient double glazing, your home will benefit from enhanced thermal performance. At Starglaze, we install a wide selection of window styles. All of our profiles achieve high energy ratings and low U-Values. With an extensive range of uPVC and aluminium customisable profiles to choose from, we have energy efficient windows to suit every property.
Upgrading your home with double or triple glazing will enhance your property’s insulation and heat retention. Manufactured with cutting-edge technology, the high-spec glazing we install will keep your home at a comfortable temperature during every season. Homeowners who invest in energy efficient windows can enjoy cheaper energy bills and a greener household.
• New Door Installations
As well as sneaking out through your windows, warm air can escape through your home’s doors too. Outdated doors often offer poor levels of insulation and weather protection, allowing cold air to get inside and hot air to travel out of your home.
If you want your home to be more energy efficient, upgrading your front and rear doors is a worthwhile investment. Contemporary doors made from uPVC, aluminium and composite materials offer increased thermal performance. Whether you want a solid entrance door or a bifold door installation to bring more space and light to your home, you can count on a Starglaze installation to boost your home’s energy efficiency.
If you want your home to be more sustainable, you need to switch draughty doors for weather resistant and well insulated alternatives. With better temperature regulation, an energy efficient door will keep you away from the thermostat and help to reduce your carbon footprint.
• Conservatory Roof Replacement
Your home may be struggling to maintain its natural heat due to an underperforming conservatory roof. You may not think so, but a poorly insulated conservatory can impact your home’s overall thermal performance. Outdated conservatory roofs are often not built from the most energy efficient materials and struggle with reliable temperature regulation.
To make your conservatory and home sustainable, consider upgrading your space with an energy efficient replacement roof. Here at Starglaze, we install top performing roof systems from market leaders Ultraframe. The profiles we install have been manufactured using state-of-the-art technology, featuring reliable insulation, weatherproofing and energy efficient glazing.
Make your conservatory more sustainable with a Starglaze replacement roof. Our range includes solid, tiled and glass profiles. We also install energy efficient roof lanterns and flat skylights.
• Invest in Recyclable Materials
When it comes to improving your home, opt for products made from recyclable materials. By investing in profiles with a green life cycle, you will be doing your bit to help the future health of the planet. Here at Starglaze, our uPVC profiles are fully recyclable and will not end up in a landfill site.
