Energy-saving windows from NorDan at Homebuilding & RenovatingDate: 11/05/2009Scottish self builders interested in keeping their fuel bills down with energy-efficient windows should make their way to the Scottish Homebuilding & Renovating Show, where NorDan is showing its range of high performance environmentally-friendly timber windows and doors. Windows no longer need be the weak point in the building envelope; instead they can help a home to hold on to its heat. NorDan's NTech Passive triple-glazed windows have an industry-leading U-value of just 0.7 W/m2K – that's a massive 54 percent improvement on current Building Regulations standards, scoring a high A +4 rating. And that's the U-value for the whole window including the frame, not just the glazing, which is what many other manufacturers' figures actually describe. The NTech Passive's cutting-edge design uses a layer of high-tech insulating material inside both the frame and sash to ensure the window combines natural timber beauty with outstanding thermal performance. NorDan's NTech Passive windows have been specified in the carbon-neutral showpieces, the Kingspan Lighthouse and the Barratt Green House – and it's readily available to self builders in the UK now. So if you want the best in energy-efficient windows for your project, visit NorDan’s experts at the Scottish Homebuilding & Renovating Show to find out more.
