Flat owners advised to get double glazing

As many Britons begin to take steps to reduce their carbon footprints and lower their energy bills by going green, there are some properties where becoming energy efficient is harder.

The Energy Saving Trust notes that for homeowners or tenants living in high-rise flats, problems may be encountered due to the way the buildings have been constructed.

Such issues arise from the fact that with many such buildings it can be difficult to access the exterior walls and the roof.

However, the trust recommends that one step owners can take is to invest in double glazing.

Installing double glazing can reduce heat loss "substantially" the group explains, particularly in large apartments that feature French windows ( http://www.force8.co.uk/index.php ) or larch arch windows.

The trust goes on to note the importance of draught proofing in flats, which could also be boosted by double glazing.

People living in flats in the north-west may wish to make use of their Easter break to visit Stockport double glazing ( http://www.force8.co.uk/index.php ) supplier Force 8.
