Pilkington, developers of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first self-cleaning glass are launching a new glass called energiKare, which will help home-owners reduce fuel bills and their carbon footprint.<\/p>\nPilkington, developers of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first self-cleaning glass are launching a new glass called energiKare, which will help home-owners reduce fuel bills and their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n
energiKare has been specifically designed to cut energy loss from the home and is twice as efficient as standard double-glazing, meaning homeowners save between \u00c2\u00a380-\u00c2\u00a3100 off annual heating bills.<\/p>\n
The new glass reduces the net heat loss from windows, by allowing more heat from the sun in through the window (known as solar gain) and in turn reducing the amount of heat loss from inside the home.<\/p>\n
To do this, it uses Pilkington K glass (a low emissivity glass which stops heat escaping through homes) and Pilkington Optiwhite (a special \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcextra clear\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 glass that increases the amount of heat from the sun passing through the window).<\/p>\n
Windows made with Pilkington energiKare will receive a Window Energy Rating of A, B or C and will also be \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEnergy Saving Recommended\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.
\nRecently introduced Home Information Packs (HIPs) require everyone selling a three or four bedroom house to produce an Energy Performance Certificate, rating the house energy efficiency between A and G.<\/p>\n
Therefore, installing energy efficient products like Pilkington energiKare, will contribute to improved energy performance; a real positive factor for anyone selling a house.<\/p>\n
Pilkington provides an official installation certificate as a permanent record of the installation.<\/p>\n
