What is the Importance of Energy Efficiency in Doors?

Energy efficiency is a crucial factor to consider when selecting new doors for your home. Inefficient doors can lead to significant energy loss, forcing your heating systems to work harder and increasing your energy bills. By choosing energy-efficient doors, you can create a more comfortable living environment and reduce your energy consumption, whilst they also feature elegant, contemporary designs that add a touch of sophistication to any home.

Understanding A+ Energy Ratings

An A+ energy rating signifies the highest level of energy efficiency. Doors with this rating provide superior insulation, preventing heat loss during the winter and heat gain during the summer. The rating is based off the U-value which is calculated from the rate of energy transfer through one square meter of the structure divided by the difference in temperature at either side of the structure. In simpler terms it means it measures how easily heat can travel through your window or door. This helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for constant heating to be on and ultimately lowering your energy bills.
