» TRADE FABRICATOR , Bedfordshire Windows says demand in higher energy efficiency glazing is here to stay , and it ’ s backed up by the latest research from Selfbuilder and Homemaker Magazine , which showed that 64 per cent of homeowners want to reduce their carbon footprint and avoid contributing to climate change .

Gary Walker , Joint Managing Director of Bedfordshire Windows says : “ We agree with the Selfbuilder and Homemaker results , especially when it comes to our products going into extensions and self-build homes . We know that homeowners want to reduce their future heating costs and choosing higher performing energy efficiency glazing helps deliver long term savings .

“ We have created a complete range of PVCu and aluminium products to offer higher performing options to ensure our trade customers can choose higher performing options .

“ Our range includes the best performing PVCu system on the market today with its revolutionary multi-chambered profile that achieves an A + Energy rating as standard and

U-values as low as 0.8 W / m ² K . It is also 100 per cent lead-free and fully recyclable , which makes it one of the most environmentally friendly products available .

“ We also offer the top levels of energy efficiency with our aluminium range of windows , bifold and sliding doors . In fact , we believe we have one of the best ranges of products to support our trade customers ,

especially those looking for higher performance glazing .

“ In the latest round of Building Regulations , the Government didn ’ t make many changes to glazing , instead it looked at the total performance of buildings and retrofit , so that energy performance of the glazing element is taken into consideration across the whole project . We think this is a bonus for installation companies , as they can choose how to tackle how the glazing fits into the overall performance .

“ We always look for suppliers that can deliver products that look great and offer top levels of energy performance to give Bedfordshire Windows ’ trade customers the best choice .”
