One of Brackenwood’s most established and innovative suppliers, Pilkington has recently illustrated the energy-saving benefits of their energiKare™ product line in the clearest form yet - by using advanced, thermal imaging technology.

This amazing image shows how money and energy can literally go out of the window through inefficient glazing.

Thermal images, such as the one above, show the shocking amount of heat lost from single-glazed windows compared to those fitted with Pilkington energiKare™. They also revealed the much higher temperatures on the external surface of the single glazed windows compared to the windows incorporating Pilkington energiKare™.

A Pilkington spokesman said: “The temperature ranges shown by these images is a real eye-opener. They offer emphatic proof that Pilkington energiKare™ keeps heat inside the home to reduce the amount householders need to spend on their ever-increasing fuel bills”.

How does energiKare™ work?

Pilkington energiKare™ is made up of Pilkington K Glass™, the UK’s best selling low-e glass and ‘extra clear’ glass Pilkington Optiwhite™. It works in two ways; reducing the amount of net heat lost through windows by up to 90 per cent, and allowing more heat (energy) in from the sun.

How much would you save?

Assuming a conservative 10 per cent annual rate of cost of fuel inflation on an average, three-bed, semi-detached home upgrading from single-glazing to Pilkington energiKare™. The saving would work out to approx. £170 per year - or around £10,000 over 20 years.

Energy Saving Scheme accredited

Windows that incorporate Pilkington energiKare™ have a Window Energy Rating of at least a ‘C’ which means they are eligible for the Energy Saving Trust’s ‘Energy Saving Recommended Scheme‘.
