Energy renovation through your windows
Windows are one of the first sources of heat loss in a home. Switching to high-performance glazing and frames means a tighter envelope, comfort regained and an EPC rating that climbs back up. We size your windows as a real renovation lever, grants included.
What high-performance windows really change
A window is not just a frame: it is part of the thermal envelope. The right glazing, the right frame and a careful fitting transform the comfort and performance of the home.
Thermal performance (Uw / Ug)
High-efficiency double glazing drops to Ug ≤ 1.1 W/m²K, triple glazing lower still. It is the Uw coefficient of the whole window — glass, spacer and frame — that really drives your heat loss.
Acoustic comfort
Asymmetric glazing and new seals cut out the noise of the street, the neighbours or traffic. Acoustic comfort is often the first thing felt after the replacement.
No more thermal bridges
Old windows create cold walls, condensation and mould on the edges. A high-performance, well-fitted window removes those cold spots and the damp that comes with them.
EPC improvement
Replacing single glazing with double or triple glazing improves the energy balance and can push the EPC rating up — a direct asset for comfort as well as for the property’s value.
Renovation grants & VAT 6%
The Walloon renovation grant starts from €40/m² of glazing (amount adjusted to income), and the 6% VAT applies to labour and supplies for a home over ten years old.
Consistency with insulation
Very high-performance windows on uninsulated walls simply shift the cold spot. We think in terms of the whole envelope, in the logical order, so every euro invested counts.
From assessment to high-performance fitting
-
Assessment & audit
We look at the state of the existing windows, the type of glazing and the consistency with the rest of the envelope — ideally in connection with an energy audit of the home.
-
Glazing & frame choice
Double or triple glazing, PVC, wood or aluminium: we select the glazing/frame pairing that reaches the right Uw according to your budget and the orientation of the windows.
-
Quote net of grants
You receive a clear quote, VAT 6% included, with an estimate of the renovation grants so you can see the cost actually left to you.
-
High-performance fitting
A careful fitting — air tightness, seals, caulking — determines the real gain. Fine glazing badly fitted loses most of its performance.
From single glazing to high-efficiency double or triple
Replacing single glazing can sharply reduce heat loss through the windows. High-efficiency double glazing is now the standard; triple glazing is justified on the most exposed façades and very high-performance projects.
- Single glazing: cold walls, condensation, significant heat loss
- High-efficiency double glazing: Ug ≤ 1.1 W/m²K, the best gain-to-price ratio
- Triple glazing: maximum performance for exposed façades and low-energy builds
We price your windows within the logic of your overall project — glazing, frame, fitting and grants included.
Energy renovation & windows
How much do high-performance windows cut the bill?
Windows are among the first sources of heat loss in a home. Replacing single glazing with high-efficiency double or triple glazing clearly reduces losses through the windows and improves comfort. The exact gain depends on the glazed area, the orientation and the general state of the envelope: an energy audit lets you put a precise figure on it.
Double or triple glazing: which to choose?
High-efficiency double glazing (Ug ≤ 1.1 W/m²K) offers the best gain-to-price ratio and remains the renovation standard. Triple glazing brings the Ug down further and is justified on very exposed façades, large glazed surfaces or low-energy projects. We guide you according to the orientation of the windows and your budget.
What is the impact on the home’s EPC?
Replacing old windows or single glazing with high-performance glazing improves the home’s energy balance and can push the EPC rating up. The effect is all the more marked when the windows replaced were old and the move is part of an overall renovation of the envelope.
What grants are there for renovating windows?
In Wallonia, the renovation grant for replacing windows starts from €40/m² of glazing, with an amount adjusted to the household’s income. On top of that comes the reduced 6% VAT for a home over ten years old. We estimate the grants you can claim on your quote and point you to the required audit where applicable.
