U-Values represent the amount of heat that escapes through a wall, window, roof or other surface. The lower the U-Value, the more energy efficient a material is therefor the less energy it will lose. The term “Low E” means low emissivity. Emissivity is the measure of an object’s ability to emit infrared energy. Emitted energy indicates the temperature of the object. Emissivity can have a value from 0 (shiny mirror) to 1.0 (blackbody). Most organic, painted, or oxidised surfaces have emissivity values close to 0.95. Added to the surface of window and door glass, Low E provides greater energy efficiency, increased comfort and protection from damaging UV rays. By filtering out the part of the light spectrum that transmits heat, Low E reduces a window’s U-Value.

Triple glazed windows are typically more energy efficient than double-glazed windows and can achieve a U-value as low as 0.8 combined. Triple-glazed windows are typically more expensive than double-glazed windows for this reason, investing in triple glazed windows is more suited to a situation where there is a high level of insulation, e.g. new builds or refurbishments with a very good Building Energy Rating, i.e. an A-rating.

Yes we install replacement windows year-round. The technician will asses the circumstances and determine which day is appropriate for installation. Our crews install one window at a time and are trained to do what they can to minimise heating loss and disturbance.

Just sit back and relax. Tipperary Windows and Home Improvements will remove any curtains, blinds and reinstall them once the job is complete. Upon completion of the job, we take pride in cleaning the areas of installation thoroughly. You won’t even know we were there. The majority of our replacement windows are installed from the outside. In some situations it may be necessary to install from the inside. On the day of installation, your installer will assess your unique situation and explain the process that will best suit your home.

Your replacement windows will be installed usually within 4 weeks from the date that the final measurements are taken and the deposit paid. Some designs do have a longer manufacturing time in this case we will advise you of the expected installation time when you order. The type of window being installed and type being removed help determine the amount of time needed to complete the job. A normal standard bungalow should only take 2 days. Trim work and clean-up will require additional time to complete.
