Modular housing, like double glazing, "cuts heat loss"

Double glazed windows can cut bills and reduce energy loss.Modular housing is becoming more popular as it has many of the traits of double glazing - it is reliable, safe and sustainable, according to a number of sources.Double glazing provides reliability, safety and sustainability and homeowners are now also finding these traits in modular housing, according to various sources.

Several types of modular homes were on show at Grand Designs Live 2009, in Birmingham last weekend.

Kevin Arthur, development surveyor for modular homes and offsite construction company Elements Europe, said that the modular housing market is growing as people are realising that speed of delivery, quality and affordability can be reached in the controlled environment of a factory.

Along with being environmentally friendly through manufacture - an off-site manufactured home requires 90 per cent fewer vehicle movements on-site - they are also efficient during the course of their lifetime, because their "walls are thicker than traditional construction; you don't lose heat outside of the building".

Installing double glazing is one of the best ways of ensuring a home is energy efficient.

According to energysavingsecrets.co.uk single glazed windows alone can lose around 20 per cent of your home's heat so double glazing can make a wise long-term investment for your home, and be good for the environment.

The website said double glazed windows can save between £80 and £100 and 680kg of carbon dioxide every year - not to mention adding real value to your property if you later choose to sell.
