EnergiKare

You've probably heard that the amount of energy we waste in our homes is directly linked to climate change. You'll definitely have noticed the ever increasing cost of energy for heating your home. But did you know that the type of glass you use in your windows can help you home be more energy efficient?

By using Pilkington energiKare™ in your windows you will

  • Improve the energy efficiency of your home
  • Save money on your heating bills
  • Become more environmentally friendly!

Simply using Pilkington energiKare™ as the double glazing unit in your windows reduces the amount of energy lost through the windows by 90%!

     

Pilkington energiKare™ reduces the amount of heat loss through windows and it also allows more heat (energy) from the sun in through the window - this effect is known as solar gain.
As solar gain is heat from the sun, it's 'free of charge' and available all year round.

Pilkington energiKare™ contains two special types of glass:-

  • Pilkington K Glass™, the UKs best selling low emissivity glass which stops heat escaping from homes.
  • Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a special 'extra-clear' type of glass. It increases the degree of solar heat gain and makes home feel warmer without the need to turn up heating.
  • Filling the double glazed unit with argon gas or using air filling with a new "warm edge spacer bar" stops further heat escaping from homes.
