What Is an EPC?
An EPC is an Energy Performance Certificate that is a rating scheme to summarise the energy efficiency of buildings or devices. An EPC tells you how energy efficient a property is. Now you are asking do you need an EPC? Well the answer is Yes! You must have an EPC when you are selling a property or renting out your home.
How Does an Energy Performance Certificate Rating Work?
The rating is a score that measures a properties energy efficiency from A to G – with A being the most energy efficient and G being the least energy efficient. An EPC rating is measured in sections, the first section outlines the house’s estimated cost of energy and is divided into 3 categories: lighting, heating and hot water.
How Can DW Windows Help Improve Your Energy Efficiency With Modern uPVC Windows?
Casement windows are the most popular choice for homeowners in the UK. This is thanks to their suitability for all homes, regardless of age, style and character. Casement windows are renowned for their simple yet stylish aesthetic.
The uPVC profile and frames used in our casement windows contain multiple hidden chambers that can capture heat, which combines with our double or triple glazing options to create highly energy efficient windows.
Our casement windows can achieve an excellent A+13 energy rating with exceptionally low U-values. Your home can stay warm and cosy all year round without fear of the winter chill creeping its way into your property.
The bespoke glazing traps heat between its panes, preventing it from escaping to the outside, where it is wasted. By making better use of the heat already within your property, you could benefit from more than just a comfortable home, including reduced energy bills and a lower carbon footprint.
Our glazing doesn’t only keep you warm, it also reinforces the security of your windows. Glazing makes your window harder to smash, deterring many would-be intruders. Our windows also feature the latest security hardware, including multi-point locking systems, for peace of mind when choosing your replacement windows.
Modern uPVC is a highly durable material that is capable of withstanding sudden blows and knocks without warping, cracking, or bending. Unlike other older materials, it can resist swelling from heavy rainfall or intense heat, offering smooth performance even after adverse weather conditions.
uPVC also has the added advantage of being incredibly easy to maintain and can remain secure and safe to handle even after years of constant use. All it takes to keep your casement windows looking and performing at their best is an occasional cleaning to remove excess grime.
Profile 22 Systems
Our Profile 22 windows can be the perfect window upgrade for homeowners looking for a stylish and efficient improvement to their property.
All our Profile 22 windows come with thermally efficient double glazing as standard. They can reach U-values as low as 1.2 W/m²K and have an A+ energy rating. This means that they can help to keep your home warm and comfortable even in the colder parts of the year.
This is done via the double-glazed panes and the 5 to 6 chambered frames, which prevent the internal heat from escaping.
Chambered frames have small pockets of air within them, which provides fantastic additional insulation against the cold. This difference will be even more noticeable if you have older windows that only have singular glazing.
By upgrading to our modern Profile 22 windows, you could even save on your energy bills as you rely less on gas or electricity to keep warm over the years. So not only will these windows be an excellent home enhancement, but they can also be a wise investment in your home that can raise its value.
