Norwich, UK -- (SBWire) -- 07/11/2016 --There is now a survey being launched by the English Heritage which aims to look after conservation areas. They are pushing to replace wooden sash windows with UPVC windows.
English Heritage's Head of Building Conservation and Research Chris Wood said in an interview that the massive marketing done to push the use of double glazing windows has motivated a lot of people to take this clear-cut option of using this naturally plastic-framed double glazed windows. However, people worry that doing such ruins the look of England's 9,000-plus conservation areas which is known as a remarkable architectural heritage. Replacing the old sash windows with UPVC windows would make these double glazed pieces out of place.
The decision to replace sash windows with UPVC windows might be a bit daunting for some as changing the materials of an old heritage home would deviate from the usual look and feel of what's customary for them. But weighing out the costs and benefits, switching to UPVC windows would be more cost-effective in the long run.
Getdoubleglazingprices.co.uk supports the advocacy of the government's Energy Saving Trust to campaign for the use of UPVC windows for the prevention of heat escaping from houses that eventually reduces carbon emissions. The Energy Saving Trust campaigns under the premise that if all people in the UK who need UPVC windows fitted would be able to save about £700 per year, it would eventually be equivalent to 740,000 carbon dioxide household emissions.
While conservationists are fighting against the use of UPVC windows as they delineate a number of things that can be done to lessen heat loss without the need of using plastic materials, it is still undeniable that the benefits of using double glazing windows outweigh those of the costs. UPVC windows are energy efficient for one, plus the fact they last a longer and do not need painting with high solvent paint.
Would conservationists win or would those who see the use of UPVC windows in English Heritage's old building practical idea prevail? Whatever the decision after the result of the survey, Getdoubleglazingprices.co.uk hopes that in the end, the heritage home team would take into account the need of the old buildings to be desirable and at the same time, more practically livable.
