Environment
Around our country there are still many sizeable, listed properties that are entirely single-glazed, this contributes significantly to the environment and excessive Co2 emissions. Properties like this are very difficult to heat, which is both uncomfortable and expensive for the occupants. Unfortunately, the local authorities do not allow any double-glazing to be installed in these properties. A combination of double-glazing and draught proofing is really the only chance these properties stand of becoming properly insulated and economical to run.
Sustainability
The key environmental benefit of renovation over replacement is the saving in raw materials, as well as the energy used in extracting and processing them. In general terms, renovation:
- Usage is 1/40th of the energy of replacement
- This minimises the use of finite resources.
- Eliminating the number of materials sent to landfill
- Retaining the invested energy or carbon store
- Restoring period windows to their original glory has a minimal impact on the environment
- Sustainability, both during the installation and throughout the years that follow
