| | ADVICE> BSIWhy the Government insists you have energy efficient glass 
In recent years, a great deal of importance has been placed on how man is damaging the environment, and in particular the harmful effects of "greenhouse" gases
| By agreeing to the Kyoto Treaty, the Government has committed to take steps to reduce the amount of these gases the UK produces. One of the measures introduced to meet the targets has been a change to the Building Regulations, setting out strict energy efficiency requirements for buildings. Known as "Part L" (or Document L) in England and Wales and "Parts J & A" in Scotland, the new regulations will affect any replacement windows and windows in new structures fitted after April 1 2002. Similar changes are proposed for Ireland, which may come into effect from mid 2002.
To meet these new Government regulations, windows must incorporate a "low emissivity" glass such as Pilkington K Glass, which has been specifically designed to reflect heat back into the building and greatly improve its thermal efficiency.
What makes Pilkington K Glass the ideal solution?
The basic thinking behind the new Building Regulations is that by using less heat to keep your home warm, less energy needs to be produced - thus lowering the overall levels of greenhouse gases
Pilkington K Glass keeps your home warmer by reflecting the heat from inside back into the room, rather than letting it escape. And while that has positive benefits for the environment, it also has great benefits for you
Save on your heating bills!
Pilkington K Glass not only saves energy and vital natural resources, but also saves you a great deal of money over the long term. Its unique properties and superior insulation keep you home warmer, which means you can turn down your thermostat and still remain just as comfortable - resulting in even greater savings on your heating bill.
In fact, statistics shown that if all the single glazed buildings in the United Kingdom had double glazing units with Pilkington K Glass, it would save £600 million worth of energy per year
So to be sure you have glazing to the standards the Governement insists upon, look for the "OK" symbol on Pilkington K Glass. It's the easy way to stamp out wasted energy.
