Since we introduced energy rated windows across our full range of DIY conservatories we have seen an upturn in demand and they have generated a great deal of interest. The fact that we can supply them at no extra cost has also not gone unnoticed. We did our research and asked potential customers what were the biggest disadvantages of owning a conservatory. Virtually everyone said that keeping it warm at this time of year was a costly process.
With the addition of our standard C rated windows in a conservatory they are over three times more efficient at retaining heat than a standard air filled double glazed window. Our glass units are 28mm Argon filled and we use Planitherm Total + on the outer pane. This is a soft coat glass with excellent thermal qualities and unlike the earlier K glass, there is no greenish tint.
Of course if you have a conservatory with an Argon filled double glazed low E glass roof, there is no reason why you cannot upgrade the side windows to an A rated specification. These have been fitted to quite a few of our DIY conservatories and have proved to be significantly better than we thought possible, especially with the glass roof! Heating is no longer an issue and it is the conservatory that is warm, not the atmosphere.
You can be sure also that the windows are what we say they are. As we manufacture them our selves, each is fitted with a label showing the rating, our name and our lisence number. These are all details that can be verified online at the BFRC website. Proper DIY conservatories from Prior Conservatories with no compromise on comfort or quality.
