As you may have heard or seen in the press there is currently a petition being arranged by the GGF to the government in favour of a windows scrappage scheme. The scheme aims to encourage householders to scrap their old poorly insulated windows in return for a £1,000 grant towards the installation of new, professionally installed, energy efficient ones.

If this scheme were to take affect the window industry would receive a much needed boost as previously cash strapped clients would have the opportunity to now afford new double glazed windows. The benefits are there for everyone as the home owner would see a difference in their heating bills. And a boost in work during these difficult financial times.
There are already companies around offering a “scrappage scheme” even though it has not been officially sanctioned by the government.
We are all aware that the past year or so has been very difficult on businesses and the general public financially, work in the window industry has been hard to come by and we all could do with a little help. This link maybe useful for the elderly, disabled and those on benefits.
With all the talk about energy saving double glazing and the impending change in the law regarding the use of energy efficient windows we understand that there will be a lot of scepticism among clients regarding the extra costs that may be involved in obtaining the new standard. This link however is a very simple calculator that explains in layman’s terms how much money could be saved with the presence of energy efficient windows and the saving of CO² and carbon emissions.
