Double Glazing On The Web

Yesterday’s much vaunted Pre-budget report was intended to stimulate the economy by getting us all to dip into our pockets, but will it do so?

This site is, of course, concerned with doors, windows and conservatories - home improvements that not only make your home look better, but also improve it’s energy efficiency, thus bringing it into line with the government’s green agenda.

As Michael Ankers, CEO of the Construction Products Association, so eloquently said in this morning’s Guardian:

Energy efficiency measures for housing are welcome, but at an additional £100m fairly modest, and disappointing that this focuses only on insulation when much could be achieved by support for double glazing and upgrading of central heating boilers.

And really, what is 2.5 pence in the pound worth in real terms when you’re trying to bring your home up to the standards of those government guidelines?
