Cheap uPVC windows part of making a home green

Cheap uPVC windows part of making a home greenPeople who are wanting to go green can do so more easily than in the past.The cost of making green changes to a property is not as prohibitive as it once was, with items such as cheap uPVC windows providing an affordable and energy-efficient option, according to an expert.

Michael Holmes, TV presenter and editor-in-chief of Real Homes, said that as the demand for eco-home products increases and knowledge about what can be done around the house expands, simple and inexpensive measures will make a difference in both the quality of a homeowners life but also within the greater community.

"Effective roof insulation for example could make savings of up to 15-20 per cent on your heating bill each year and so pay back can be achieved in as little as two to three years," he said, advising that additional savings can also be made quite easily by using left over insulation materials to wrap around piping and water tanks to prevent further heat loss.

His words came after the Energy Saving Trust revealed that Britons can make their homes more energy-efficient for under £3,000.
