When winter hits St Helens, many homeowners automatically blame rising energy bills on their boiler or insulation. But in reality, your windows are often the biggest factor affecting winter energy efficiency.

For over 20 years, DaveStyle Windows, Doors and Conservatories has been helping local homeowners stay warm with high-quality windows, doors and conservatories designed to perform in real UK winters.

If your home feels cold, draughty, or expensive to heat, your windows could be the reason.

How Much Heat Is Lost Through Windows?

In many older properties across St Helens, Rainhill, Eccleston, Sutton, Parr and Thatto Heath, outdated windows allow a significant amount of heat to escape.

Common issues include:

• Single or early double glazing
• Gaps around frames
• Worn seals
• Aluminium or timber frames with poor insulation

Even small inefficiencies add up, forcing your heating system to work harder throughout the winter.

Why Windows Matter More Than Walls in Winter

Unlike solid walls, windows are designed to let light in — but older designs also let heat out. Modern window technology has transformed how efficiently homes retain warmth.

Upgrading your windows can:

• Dramatically reduce heat loss
• Eliminate cold draughts
• Maintain consistent indoor temperatures
• Reduce reliance on constant heating

This is why windows often deliver faster energy efficiency gains than other home improvements.

The Most Energy-Efficient Window Features Explained

1. A-Rated Double Glazing

A-rated windows are designed to retain heat inside your home, reflecting warmth back into living spaces rather than letting it escape.

DaveStyle installs premium A-rated window systems that meet and exceed current UK energy standards.

2. Insulated Multi-Chamber Frames

Modern UPVC frames contain multiple chambers that trap warm air, creating a thermal barrier between inside and outside temperatures.

3. Warm-Edge Spacer Technology

Warm-edge spacers reduce heat loss around the edge of the glass — one of the most common problem areas in older windows.

4. Precision Installation

Even the most advanced window won’t perform properly without expert fitting. Poor installation can lead to draughts, condensation, and heat loss.
