Innovation in glass manufacturing is not something you may automatically think about, but over the years we have seen a number of new products that have improved the quality of products, the same as any industry. One such innovation we are introducing in Spring 2008 at Brackenwood is a new product called Pilkington energiKare™.

Pilkington energiKare is different to standard double glazing, working to provide two massive benefits. The glazing not only reduces the amount of heat lost through your windows, it also allows more heat (energy) from the sun in through the window.

This effect, known as solar gain, comes from the sun -so it’s free of charge. And, with more emphasis being put on energy efficient homes, Pilkington energiKare can achieve the EST’s Energy Saving Recommended status.

The benefits for installing Pilkington energiKare glass in your windows are:

• improves the energy efficiency of your home.
• reduces the amount of energy you use.
• saves you money on your heating bills.
• is part of the Energy Saving Recommended scheme.
• is more effective than single or standard double glazing.
• is the only product that offers you the reassurance of Pilkington quality and that has the endorsement of the Energy Saving Trust.

It’s also gaining recognition in the industry and has been recognised by the Construction Products Association in Construction Products Innovation and Achievement (CPIA) 2007.
