Double glazing benefits, via easy home renovating

Energy Efficiency

 

Purchasing new windows and doors can be a big investment. The advantage of our Double Glazed UPVC Windows and Doors is that the purchase becomes an investment that is value added and can pay for itself in just a few years by acting as an insulator and reducing heating and cooling costs which save you money every month. Over the life of a poorly insulated window, the cost of the heat loss is much greater than the purchase cost, especially with the rising energy prices. In addition, improving the curb appeal of your home with designer high performance windows can increase the property resale value. How valuable are your family’s comfort and peace of mind? You can be confident that our Double Glazed Windows and Doors will help you meet and exceed the requirements of the BASIX legislation, add a little luxury without adversely affecting the environment! Don’t throw money away on cheap imitations – our windows boast u-values of 1.8 that is three times better than a typical aluminium sliding window with a u-value of 5.8.
 

Noise Insulation

 

Noise pollution is often overlooked as a hazard to health, yet numerous studies have linked prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can be detrimental to your hearing, but also can increase stress and blood pressure, cause gastric problems as well as headaches, migraines and anxiety or depression. Get rid of unwanted noise and enjoy many other benefits of Upvc Double Glazed Windows, boasting potential noise reduction of 45dB, they will prove more effective than sleeping pills for an undisrupted well deserved rest! Consult with us about your acoustic insulation needs, and our expert staff will recommend the most efficient glazing and window style to meet your requirements and maximize value for money. There are thousands of glazing combinations which can affect insulation performance significantly, here you can learn about noise, its effects, how to manage it and in order to make a more informed choice of windows and doors for your home.
 

Low Maintenace

 

Upvc is the ideal frame material due to its inherent qualities of resistance to corrosion, fire, water, and sunlight. Apart from the most obvious applications in coastal areas where salt destroys the appearance and function of aluminium windows, while wooden windows must be specially treated with chemicals or paint, upvc frames have also been used in commercial and industrial applications and in areas of high pollution or for high impact winds. In addition, the upvc composition includes ultra-violet components, which reflect the sunlight and resist damage. The profile will not warp because it contains aluminium or steel reinforcement and wont need to be repainted, chemically treated, polished or cleaned. However, cleaning may be required for glass, intermittently, as desired, which will be necessary regardless of the frame material used. Our upvc Double Glazed Windows and Doors are ideal for the get and forget consumer! The low maintenance factor of upvc windows and doors exceeds that of any other frame material, saves your time and energy for the important things in life!
 

Environmentally Friendly

 

Our Upvc Windows and Doors are ecologically sustainable in many ways: they are 100% recyclable; the non-lead stabilizers make the profile safe for children (upvc products even have medical applications in neonatal care), save energy and carbon emissions by being thermally efficient; do not contribute to deforestation or alumina smelter pollution. Research shows that the most promising potential for lowering environmental impacts of windows is expected to be through the optimisation of the design and specific construction processes, which means increasing the quality of the windows with respect to their main function of saving heating energy in the use phase (e.g. lowering the specific heat loss). Raising the amount of secondary material used, or lowering the amount of material required for the same function, may be another ground for optimization of the constructions.Research via www.windowfactory.com.auIn order to download your free ebook

Thermalite insulating paint, via easy home renovating

-Thermalite water based, paint additive will save energy bills by up to 40% by reducing heat loss or transfer through walls or ceilings, thereby reducing the need for air conditioning or heating. Yet if applied on the inside it will keep heat in. 

Thermalite was developed from the NASA space shuttle technology. Millions of 90 micron vacuum mini-spheres prevent heat transfer.

Thermalite is suitable for roofs, North, West or East facing walls. It has an R-rating of 3.52, is only as thick as your paint, is water based and is non-toxic.

It is suitable for renovations where it is costly to insulate or in hard to get places such as vaulted ceilings. Thermalite can be used wherever paint is applied such as ceilings and walls, exterior walls and roofs, garden sheds, caravans, boats, metal cladding is suitable for domestic or commercial use and is easy to add to any paint or coatings.

To use, mix Thermalite with the paint and apply normally. Other benefits include repelling 50% of UV rays, a fire rating of 18000C and dramatic reduction in condensation, often the cause of mould and mildew build-up.

Eco Living Centre recommends Thermalite as part of its energy saving range. This innovative product is scientifically proven and tested by laboratories and government bodies.

Conventional insulation products only work by slowing down the rate of heat loss through the wall. Thermalite works by helping prevent the heat getting to the wall in the first place; giving the same energy benefits even when used on already insulated walls.

Heating and cooling your home accounts for around 1.5 to 2 ton of CO2 emissions per person per year. Thermalite will cut down CO2 emissions, all with the stroke of a brush.

Thermalite is available now from Eco Living Centre.
