Pilkington Energikare: Safe as houses

Pilkington has again partnered with Safestyle UK to supply its new energy efficient insulating glass unit, Pilkington energiKare, directly to homeowners.

Safestyle UK, the nation's largest independent window retailer, sealed the partnership this month and will use the Pilkington energiKare brand in its television and radio advertising, as well as online.

Safestyle UK has been a Pilkington customer for the past decade and has 30 sales and 13 installation branches throughout the UK.

In the last year alone they installed GBP100million of replacement doors and windows in homes the length and breadth of the country.

Commenting on the partnership, Group Purchasing Director, Brendan McCambridge said: "We are very excited about this extension of our collaboration.

With Pilkington energikare, we'll become the first company in the UK to offer the public an energy rated window as a standard product.

"Using Pilkington energiKare allows Safestyle UK to achieve a Window Energy Rating of at least C and thereby also carry the respected Energy Saving Recommended status from the Energy Saving Trust - which signposts homeowners to products that will help them save energy and money off their fuel bills".

Pilkington Commercial Director, David Stoker, added: "Our partnership with Safestyle UK, one of the country's most well known and well respected window companies, makes it even easier for millions of homeowners to have Pilkington energiKare in their homes.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, by replacing old single glazed windows with windows incorporating Pilkington energiKare, homeowners can save around GBP80-GBP100 off their annual fuel bills.

Pilkington energiKare cuts heat loss from a window by 90% compared to a single glazed window, this in turn helps to reduce the energy use of the whole house by about 20%.".
