Following Anglian Home Improvements announcement of the Window Scrappage Scheme a television campaign was launched showing the variable levels of heat lost from un-efficient windows.
The advert helps illustrate the amount of money people are losing through the poor efficiency of their homes and how this can be dramatically improved if replaced with energy efficient windows.
All technical information from the day is available as a “White Paper”. This document details the science behind the thermo-efficiency test. Please click White paper for a PDF copy.
Anglian Home Improvements is formerly known as Anglian Windows. Raising the standard since 1966.
Anglian Home Improvements have launched two new initiatives that help reduce carbon emissions and help their 
employees save money too! Anglian in partnership with Salary Extras have recently launched a bike scheme which enables employees to get fit, go green and save money by getting a bike to cycle to work. The scheme is a government backed initiative which encourages employees to leave their cars behind by making healthier journeys to work and reducing environmental pollution. The scheme enables employees to pay for the bikes through pre-taxed salary, which means they pay less tax and National Insurance contributions and are able to save around 33% – 44% on the cost of a brand new bike of their choice. Through the scheme employees have a wide choice of bikes from Halfords and local independent cycle retailers as well as a mail order option. The bikes can be used for leisure purposes as well, provided that the main use of the bike is for cycling to work. Spokesperson Catherine Bennett of Salary Extras confirmed, “We are delighted to see that so many Anglian employees have already applied. The scheme has got off to a great start, and experience tells us that take up of this popular initiative will grow from strength to strength.”
The Glass and Glazing Federation have achieved over 1000 signatures so far for the window scrappage scheme.

Britain’s 26 million homes leak heat through their walls, roof and windows – no wonder the average household energy bill is so astronomical. Our homes are also responsible for around 27% of the country’s man-made C02, which is in no-one’s best interests. That’s why we at Anglian are on a mission to raise the standard of energy efficiency in every home. The National Window Scrappage Scheme is just one of the initiatives we have introduced to make it easier for homeowners like you to ‘green’ your home. As part of our ongoing commitment to cut emissions and energy bills, we fully endorse the petition for a Government endorsed Window Scrappage Scheme. We believe this will help put the most thermally efficient windows within reach of householders and landlords up and down the country.
