City of Edinburgh - Listed Buildings
Edinburgh City Council, Historic Scotland and Edinburgh World Heritage have approved the use of Slimlite Double Glazed Units for A Listed and B Listed buildings in Edinburgh which has the largest stock of Listed Buildins of any City in the UK except London.
Double Glazed Units have been around for many years and is known to provide insulation. However the degree or amount of insulation that can be provided is not widely known and is the most important factor in today's escalating heating costs (see note below).
By adapting and maximising the latest technology a double glazed unit can be produced which is very slim with an overall perimeter seal depth of 5mm, suitable for most single glazed windows, and most importantly with unbeatable insulation properties.
Rising Energy Costs
A recent commissioned report claims that since de-regulation of prices in 2002 and from 2002 to 2005 average energy prices have risen by about 60% more than inflation.
Investment Return
Figures published in 2005 stated that replacing single glazing with Low E Double Glazed Units will provide payback in 3 years, presumably less in 2008.
Carbon Emissions
Replacing one square metre of single glazing with Low E Double Glazing will produce a saving of approximately 90Kg of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
