Partnering with Pilkington energiKare™ is as 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 the company installed £100million 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 £80-£100 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%.'
