We have used the T.D.I. Weathercor/F Rigid Cavity Closures around
the openings - ready for the windows and doors. |

BAC 's Majestic Hardwood Windows
Each window and door is triple coated with microporous seleant,
allowing timber to breathe whilst providing weather protection.

We requested Pilkington K Insilight Therm Glass with square
lead.
Pilkington K Glass, which usually forms the inner pane of
a double glazing unit, allows less heat to escape through your windows
than ordinary glass. Thanks to a special energy saving coating which
lets the sun's rays through, but reflects heat from fires and radiators
back into your home. Heat which ordinary double glazing allows to
escape..

.The Pilkinton glass in our windows absorbs
heat then radiates it again on the colder, outside, surface. Pilkington
K Glass has what is called a low emissivity coating on the
surface that faces into the air gap of the double glazing unit.
Low emissivity means the coating is a poor radiator. The heat absorbed
by the coated glass is inhibited from radiating across the air gap
and then from the outer pane to the cold outside world. Instead
the heat is reflected back into the room by the coating.
It works in a similar way to a sheet of reflecting foil placed
behind a central heating radiator which, as you know, bounces the
heat back into the room.
It makes double glazing as effective as triple glazing and cuts
fuel bills.
