Council highlights importance of installing cheap double glazing

Council highlights importance of installing cheap double glazing Heat loss should be tackled by installation of double glazing.A district council is showing how double glazing can be used to tackle heat loss by spending £200,000 on office improvements.

The Waltham Forest Guardian reported that Epping Forest District Council will spend the amount at its Condor Building, as its current windows are 40 years old and lose let out significant amounts of heat.

A report by the council, stated: "The installation of new double-glazed units and infill cladding panels will have a significant impact on reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions and improving heat retention within the building."

The council has already agreed to sign-off nearly £155,000 towards a new heating and hot water service, while the double glazing installation will help towards saving it £20,000 a year in energy costs.

Last month, another benefit of double glazing was promoted, when a homeowner installed the special glass to help cut down on noise pollution from a nearby bypass.
