What can you save?

Windows provide plenty of light inside the home, something we are very attached to anyway. However, windows also used to cause cold. Today, this is no longer the case. Double glass, HR++ glass and even triple glass are all kinds of insulating glass. HR++ glass and triple glass insulate much better than single glass or ordinary double glazing.

Heat stays in the house and your energy bills go down. With HR++ or triple glazing, you have no drafts, no condensation on the inside and no cold at the windows. See what you can save by properly insulating your windows.

Window film

There is also a cheaper and easy way to insulate, namely window film. With window film you can improve the insulation value of single and double glazing. Window film is a lot less insulating than HR++ glass or triple glazing and you also save less on your energy use. However, it is an excellent alternative to special monument glass. View here some tips about window insulation.
