Cheap double glazing aids energy-efficient dreams

Cheap double glazing aids energy-efficient dreamsUK householders are demanding energy-efficient home improvements.Property owners in the UK want to make their homes more energy efficient, however, they are unsure of what measures to take, according to an expert.

Mary Geddes, from Cambridge Carbon Footprint, told the Daily Telegraph that cheap double glazing can benefit houses which were built before energy efficiency concerns became a major issue.

"Many of our houses are cold and draughty in winter and overheat in summer. Many people would like to make their homes fit for 21st-century living but don't know where to start," she added.

Speaking to the news provider, Sue and Ian Collins said that they have built a brand new eco home in their back garden, featuring energy-efficient features such as a "living" sedum roof, a 4,250 litre underground rainwater tank, solar thermal panels and a wood-burning stove.

Last week, it was reported by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive reported that South Belfast District Council has installed cheap double glazing to improve the building's energy efficiency.
