Double Glazing On The Web

Fact: Double glazing increases the energy efficiency of your home, therefore reducing climate change and your energy bills.

Problem: The government recognise this fact and in a desperate attempt to reach their target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from home heating by 29 per cent, there are rumours circulating that homes without double glazing could end up falling into higher council tax bands as a green penalty.

This appears to be countermanded by similar rumours concerning a detailed tax on properties, which takes into account views, conservatories and … you guessed it Double Glazing!

Does the term ‘dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t’ spring to mind?

A national campaign backed by Grand Designs Magazine, The Energy Saving Trust, The UK Green Building Council and The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), has been launched by TV property expert Kevin McCloud.
The campaign aims to encourage Britons to make their properties more energy efficient by promoting the benefits of measures such as fitting double glazing or loft insulation.

Campaigners hope to call on the public to petition the government to do more to help finance green refurbishments. TV presenter Mr McCloud insists that much more needs to be done to reduce carbon emissions from the residential sector if the target of 80% is ever to be achieved.
