  • Home Efficiency – Why Windows & Doors Matter

    ByBecky Butler

    Inefficient or poorly fitted windows and doors are responsible for fifteen to thirty per cent of residential heat loss in the United Kingdom. Upgrading to high-performance double or triple glazing reduces this energy loss and lowers household heating bills. High-quality glazing units utilise low U-values and gas fills, such as argon or krypton, to improve thermal retention. Residential windows typically require replacement every fifteen to twenty-five years, while external doors last approximately thirty to thirty-five years. Regular draught-proofing and timely glazing replacements are essential steps for maintaining long-term home energy efficiency.

  • What to Consider When Choosing the Right Door for Your Commercial Building

    ByBecky Butler

    Choosing the right commercial building door requires evaluating durability, safety compliance, security features, and accessibility. Commercial doors are engineered to withstand high-frequency use by using materials such as commercial-grade aluminium, steel, or thick toughened glass. They must comply with accessibility laws by featuring low thresholds and a minimum clear opening of nine hundred millimetres. Enhanced security measures, including multi-point locking systems and secure glazing standards like PAS 24, are essential for protecting business premises. Automated operations and anti-finger-trap designs further improve safety and ease of use in high-traffic installations.

    Reducing Operational Carbon Through Smarter Glazing Choices

    ByBecky Butler

    Smarter glazing choices reduce operational carbon by lowering thermal transmittance and minimising building energy consumption. Modern double and triple glazed units feature low-emissivity coatings, warm-edge spacer bars, and argon gas fills to retain internal heat. High-performance glass prevents thermal loss in winter while controlling solar heat gain during summer. Decreasing energy demand directly reduces active heating and cooling usage, lowering operational carbon emissions across commercial and residential properties. CN Glass manufactures bespoke low-U-value sealed units engineered to achieve long-term carbon reduction and regulatory energy compliance.

  • Cut Energy Costs & Improve Classroom Comfort with Modern Glazing
