As people look for ways to increase the energy efficiency of their properties, in order to make them more sustainable and avoid incurring increased costs, it is worth noting that old windows and doors can be among the most common causes of poor temperature control within a building.<\/p>\n<p>New windows can help to reduce energy costs while also improving the comfort of a property through better thermal control and noise proofing. In double glazing, argon and krypton gases are commonly used between the two panes of glass, because they are heavier than air and poor conductors of heat which slow down or even stop energy from travelling through them. The type of gas used is one factor affecting the Window Energy Rating (WER) \u2013 to comply with current Building Regulations all new windows should be rated \u2018C\u2019 or above and this is calculated using several variables including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thermal transmittance (U value) \u2013 this measures how much heat can escape through the glass in Kilowatthours, per sq m each year<\/li>\n<li>Solar factor (G value) \u2013 this measures how much solar energy is gained through your windows from the sun in Kilowatt-hours, per sq m each year<\/li>\n<li>Air leakage (L value) \u2013 this measures the air leakage, which should be minimal, in Kilowatt-hours per sq m each year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The material a new window frame is manufactured from is also important. From a sustainable point of view, steel is one of the most recycled materials in construction. Indeed, new steel requires an element of recycled steel in its production process. The process of recycling steel is very straightforward &#8211; the steel gets picked up by magnet and melted down &#8211; so there are no complicated separating procedures to follow. Waste from the manufacture of steel building products is easily collected and separated for recycling and on the construction site steel products generate very little waste.<\/p>\n<p>As it is so inherently strong, steel can be recycled infinitely without losing that innate quality, giving it a high value as a secondary raw material. At the end of its life cycle, a steel product can be recycled and made into new products that are of an equivalent standard to the original material.<\/p>\n<p>Steel is traditionally made using either the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) or the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) method; however, while the BOF route can only accommodate 35% recycled steel, the EAF method can accommodate 100% recycled steel. In the UK, the infrastructure is not available to meet the demand for recycled content above 35%, so steel is instead sourced from Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The steel used in Clement Window Group\u2019s hot rolled <a href=\"https:\/\/clementwindows.co.uk\/steel-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steel windows<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/clementwindows.co.uk\/steel-doors-screens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doors and screens<\/a> comes from Montanstahl in Switzerland and is made using the EAF method meaning there is a higher proportion of recycled steel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montanstahl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montanstahl<\/a> is committed to sourcing its raw material at prestigious European mills that comply with high levels of recycling and where profiles in the form of hot rolled steel billets are manufactured with a very high amount of recycled scrap metal (typically around 98%). Scrap produced by Montanstahl as a manufacturer of steel profiles is sold back to a mill and then also used for recycling purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Steel is a low maintenance material and hot dip galvanised, hot rolled type steel window frames will usually last the lifetime of the building they are installed into, meaning it will be a long time before they will need to be replaced and the whole steel window cycle will begin again.<\/p>\n<p>Steel is the perfect choice of framing material for many Listed Buildings or properties in Conservation Areas and Clement Windows specialises in replicating original windows but with a modern specification. Designed with this in mind, the <a href=\"https:\/\/clementwindows.co.uk\/eb20-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clement EB20 range<\/a>\u00a0of new double glazed steel windows is a range of exceptionally slim (20mm) insulated glass units manufactured with krypton gas as standard, Part L compliant and achieving a \u2018B\u2019 WER. Manufactured from recycled steel and created for projects where a traditional steel window appearance is required, the EB20 range is designed to replicate the appearance of original or existing windows while simultaneously providing all the advantages of 21st century technology, including first rate thermal and weather performance.<\/p>\n<h2>Sustainable steel windows at Ladywell Convent, Surrey<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_2768\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100% !important; height: auto; width: 810px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2768\" src=\"https:\/\/clementwindows.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ladywell-007-1000x563.jpg\" alt=\"Ladywell Convent in Surrey featuring sustainable and energy efficient steel windows by Clement.

Situated in the beautiful Surrey Hills, the Convent offers hospitality for returning Missionaries and visitors and is also the site of La Verna, a home for elderly sisters and those who support them.<\/p>\n<p>Previously named Tuesley Court and bought by the FMDM in 1956, Ladywell is Arts and Crafts in style, Grade II listed and an oasis of calm and tranquility. An extensive refurbishment was recently carried out to the residential and conference buildings on the site ensuring their suitability for an aging group of sisters. Two new support buildings were also constructed.<\/p>\n<p>Windows from the Clement EB20 steel window range with 12mm oval leads were installed in the Staff Building, polyester powder painted RAL 9005 (Jet Black) semi gloss, providing a good match to the existing heritage windows. The FMDM congregation was keen that the project demonstrated a commitment to environmental sustainability for the whole campus and the longevity and recyclability of the new steel windows support this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2769\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100% !important; height: auto; width: 810px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2769\" src=\"https:\/\/clementwindows.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ladywell-001-1000x518.jpg\" alt=\"Clement EB20 sustainable and energy efficient steel windows at Ladywell Convent, Surrey.

Over six hundred years old, the building had previously been updated in parts over the centuries, but nothing like the complete makeover it has had now. It has been lovingly restored from top to bottom into a superb family home and separate cottage.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2771\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100% !important; height: auto; width: 810px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2771\" src=\"https:\/\/clementwindows.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ws-2-1000x518.jpg\" alt=\"Energy efficient steel window frames at a barn in West Sussex.

Photograph courtesy of homeowner.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The new owners wanted to make the barn more sustainable and efficient. Due to years of the building not being breathable the wonderful timber frame had become damaged. The inappropriate cement render was falling off, so after much research it was decided to replace the wall panels with hempcrete which is carbon negative, thermally efficient and breathable whilst retaining the property\u2019s rustic appearance. As far as possible traditional, locally-sourced products were used such as heritage tiles, lime plaster, oakum, natural paints and genuine steel windows.<\/p>\n<p>As the barn is Grade II listed it was vital that the new windows and doors matched the original metal fenestration. <a href=\"https:\/\/clementwindows.co.uk\/smw-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clement SMW steel frames<\/a> were the perfect choice for a heritage project like this. Silicone fronted for an authentic appearance, they outperform original or old windows in terms of weatherstripping, maintenance and security, decreasing draughts and giving better thermal control. For this project, the single glazed leaded glass was supplied locally by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverstainedglass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silver Stained Glass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The client said: \u201cWe love how the Clement windows have helped bring our old barn back to life!

The twin chapels were designed by Charles Hansom in 1847 and the buildings were completed in 1851. Founded by a small group of nuns led by Madame Augustine de Chabannes, the Abbey was home to The Cross Abbey order of Cistercian Trappist nuns between 1802 and 1990.<\/p>\n<p>Dorset based developers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arproperty.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ankers and Rawlings<\/a> worked painstakingly to retain the original artefacts and period features of this historical site.
