People that are getting their houses insulated should get double glazing fitted at the same time by the people already on site.Homeowners that are already having insulation work done on their house should consider getting double glazing fitted at the same time, according to the Energy Saving Trust.Speaking to the Independent, Mat Colmer, the head of housing and supply chain at the Energy Saving Trust, said: "Once you've already got people on site, the cost is much less so get as much done in one go as you can."He told the newspaper that walls are the most important things in a house to insulate."You lose most of your heat out of your walls, 33 per cent in fact, so you can insulate on the outside, the middle and on the inside and make big savings straight away," said Mr Colmer.According to the Energy Saving Trust, double glazing cuts heat loss through windows by half as it traps air between two panes of glass creating an insulating barrier that reduces heat loss, noise and condensation.The trust said that installing energy saving recommended double glazing could save around £135 a year on a homeowner's heating bills.Written by Daniel Brown.
