Why Windows Matter

• Up to 50% of heat loss and up to 70% of heat gain is through your windows

• Windows can contribute significantly to a building’s heat losses... They need to multi-task, bringing in light, allowing solar gain as free heat, and limiting heat loss in winter.

Benjy Simmons, Stärke:  
“We do windows and doors because of the effect it has on the building performance – the most significant elements... Up to 50% of heat loss and up to 70% of heat gain is through your windows.”

Darren Ballantine, Metro Glass:
“Windows are a leading opportunity to gain thermal performance within a home and make it a more satisfying and happier place to live in.”
