U-Values:
A U Value is a measure of the rate of heat loss through a window. The lower the U-Value
the higher the thermal efficiency of the window.
The U-Value of a McGorman Window manufactured with KBE profile and using Low Iron Vista Therm Elite (Diamant) with Super Warm Spacer bar is U Value = 1.4 and G - Value = 0.43.
VistaTherm Elite Low Iron Glass.
The latest innovation in insulated glass: Greater comfort and lower energy costs for your home High performance insulating glass up to 136% better than standard double glazing. This is achieved through eliminating heat loss during cool months, thus helping to cut energy bills and making your home more comfortable
Energy Rated
PVC windows will Improve the energy efficiency of your entire home! They will lower your fuel bills and can drastically cut the amount of warm air leaving the room.
Sustainable
Unlike other material used in window and door frames, PVC performs extremely
well in terms of sustainability because if offers excellent thermal
performance over a long lifetime. The sustainable features of PVC are:
Leadfree Material
The PVC material we use is without risk to humans or the environment. Our
range of windows is lead-free, unlike a lot of other PVC providers, with the
use of lead phased out and replaced with Calcium Zinc stabilisers.
Long Life Span
Our PVC is very durable, weather resistant and will keep their finish for a
number of years. PVC windows are low maintenance and will last for over 20
years. You can be confident that windows or doors won´t warp, rot or peel
and won´t need either preservatives or paint
Recyclable
Our PVC suppliers have made major advances in this area from collection to
recycling of manufacturing and end of life cycle waste. PVC is a
thermoplastic is made up of mainly salt therefore it can be recycled many
times.
Thermal Performance
Our range of PVC windows are designed to give the highest thermal
performance at affordable prices. All our windows meet with the criteria of
the Building Energy Ratings (BER) U-Value System and the BFRC´s Window
Energy Ratings Scheme.
