Window Energy Ratings
As part of the Governments overall initiative to reduce the
levels of carbon dioxide emissions, they have put controls in
place to reduce the energy lost from domestic dwellings
Window heat loss can account for up to 30% of the total heat loss from your home.
Therefore replacement windows are now energy rated which will help to reduce
harmful CO2 emissions and help cut the cost of heating bills.
Ultimate window profiles along with the glass sealed unit specification are fed into a
computerised simulation test to measure
Based on the results, windows are then rated from A-G with A-Rating being the most
thermally efficient
Double and Triple Glazing
Our Halo Tilt and Turn uPVC Windows are available in Double and Triple Glazed options
Double Glazed
- 28mm Unit
- Integral Blinds option
- Best performance to price
- Typically 2.8 times better thermal performance than old double glazing, and up to 5 times better than single glazed
Triple Glazed
- 28mm, 32mm and 36mm Unit Options
- Increase in heat retention compared to double glazed (typically 0.2u) when used in a 32mm or 36mm unit (compared to 28mm)
- Improved sound reduction compared to double glazed
- Lead decoration if required can be applied to the centre unit, making aging from weather and cleaning a thing of the past
Reduce home heat loss and save money with Energy Efficient Windows
Why choose Halo?
In order to meet the governments thermal performance targets and current Building Regulations, all replacement PVC-u windows are to achieve a U-value not exceeding 1.6 (W/m2.K), therefore certified to Energy Ratings "C" or better
All Heronhurst Halo® Tilt and Turn Windows are certified A
Made to measure
All Ultimate® window and door profiles are produced 70mm in depth, often the same depth as conventional wooden windows
Because of this, Ultimate® frames are more likely to provide a direct replacement for the windows that have been removed and will refit up against existing plaster lines for a neater finish
Advanced compression
Internal and external gaskets are fused to all sections which will prevent the seals shrinking over time
A 9mm ‘flipper’ seal compresses against the glass sealed unit to ensure ultimate weather protection. The seal remains in-line with the profiles to enhance the finished appearance
Chambered Profile
The PVC-u profiles have internal chambers that will not only help improve thermal performance but can also include metal reinforcing as and when specified to add rigidity and strength to the frame
Built to last
Manufactured from 3mm Grade-A PVC-u, Ultimate® profiles guarantee a consistent, superb surface finish. An internally sloped surface directs any water penetration away from the window via a built-in drainage route

Our windows make more of ambient heat
In winter, the energy efficient coated glass used in our windows retains warmth within the home. It’s also designed to exploit radiant heat energy from the sun. These properties result in significant fuel savings compared to a single glazed dwelling
Above: The images show just how effective fitting energy efficient windows to your property can be. The right-hand side of the property still has the original windows – the reds and pinks show heat escaping. However, the new extension on the left is fitted with energy efficient windows, the lack of reds and pinks proving they help dramatically reduce heat loss
Energy Saving Windows and Doors - A Better Choice for Your Home
Modern double glazing doesn’t just look good. It can save you money too. From styling to performance to saving energy, our advanced glazing technologies are engineered to give you a comfortable, secure, quiet, energy efficient home
Choosing energy efficient windows, doors and conservatories to replace single glazed or older double glazed units saves energy from day one. In fact, replacing the windows alone could reduce your heating costs by up to 20% - perhaps worth up to £321 a year*
Clear, uncluttered sightlines ensure windows look well proportioned, elegant and attractive. Features like our low sightline weatherseal ensure performance and style with savings
Lowering heat loss at glass edges can cut window, external door and conservatory condensation by up to 80%. Glass units and our high performance gasket helps reduce noise pollution over a wider temperature range, too

Technical
Window Style | Min Width | Min Height | Max Width | Max Height | Design Wind Pressure |
Tilt and Turn | 520mm | 650mm | 1400mm to 1500mm | 2100mm | 800 Pa - 2400 Pa |
Fixed Frame | 300mm | 300mm | 3000mm | 3000mm | 800 Pa - 2400 Pa |
It is recommended that Tilt and Turn windows are not wider than they are tall, and that the height is at least twice that of the width. Windows that don't meet this criteria may 'self-close'
Means of Escape
When replacing any window, the opening should be sized to provide at least the same potential for escape as the window it replaces. If the original window that is being replaced was larger than necessary for the purpose of escape, then the new window opening could be reduced to the minimum as specified in the criteria below
The means of escape should be considered for any new window installed to an extension or existing dwelling. If an escape window is required, then criteria set out below should be followed. It is also generally good practice to replace any window on the first floor that is not used as an escape window with an escape windowSee below for the general criteria for egress windows:
- Width and Height - Either of these are not to be any less than 450mm
- Clear Openable Area - No less than 0.33m²
- Sill height - The bottom of the openable area should be no more than 1100mm above the floor area
Only one window per room is required
Ventilation
Windows and doors provide ventilation to rooms within a dwelling and rules apply to how much ventilation. The type and extent of ventilation will be dependent on the use and size of the room. For example, rooms where steam will be produced (kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms etc) should be provided with higher levels of ventilation (normally mechanical fans and windows) than other rooms where suitably sized window openings and background ("trickle") ventilators may suffice
Safety glazing
Safety glazing should be provided to any glass in a critical area. Below is a list giving general view as to when safety glazing is required:
- Unobstructed openable area: At least 0.33 square metres and at least 450mm high and 450mm wide
- Within any glazed door up to 1500mm from floor level
Unless otherwise stated, all glazing provided by Heronhurst is Safety Glazing (Toughened) as standard regardless of its location, for your peace of mind
