Energikare

Pilkington energikare helps windows achieve an A-C Rating

How it Works

Pilkington energiKare™ is different to standard double glazing as it works in two ways. It reduces the amount of heat lost through your windows and it also allows more heat (energy) from the sun in through the window. This effect is known as solar gain and as it comes from the sun it’s free of charge.

Pilkington energiKare™ is made up of two special types of glass, Pilkington K Glass™, the UK’s best selling low emissivity glass which stops heat escaping and Pilkington Optiwhite™, a special ‘extra clear’ glass which allows more solar heat in through the windows.

What’s more, windows containing Pilkington energiKare™ can achieve the EST’s Energy Saving Recommended status. Once incorporated in suitable framing material it will normally achieve a minimum BFRC Window Energy Rating of C and can be improved to B or A by the addition of Argon gas filling or warm edge spacer bar technology. Pilkington energiKare™ Insulating Glass Units are manufactured by approved licensed IGU processors then fabricated and sold through approved registered window companies across the country.

Installing Pilkington energiKare™ will help reduce your household’s energy usage and CO2 emissions. As part of a Government initiative, British Gas is working with Pilkington supporting energy saving products.
