Energy Efficient Upgrades for Landlords Amid Renting Ban

With the new regulations announced by Ed Miliband, landlords will soon face stricter energy efficiency requirements. By 2030, rental properties must achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C or higher. To help landlords meet these standards, Staywarm offers a range of solutions designed to improve energy efficiency, increase property value, and ensure compliance with the upcoming ban.

Below, we outline the key upgrades landlords can make to their properties using Staywarm’s energy-efficient glazing, windows & doors.

Glazing

Upgrading your glazing is one of the most effective ways to improve a property’s energy performance. At Staywarm, we offer a range of glazing options, including double and triple glazing, all of which feature Soft Coat Low E glass.

This specialised glass not only helps retain heat during the colder months, keeping the property warm, but also reduces heat gain in the summer, keeping the property cooler. By investing in advanced glazing, landlords can enhance the comfort of their tenants while significantly improving energy efficiency.

Triple glazing, with its three layers of glass, provides the highest level of insulation, but even our double glazing options offer excellent thermal performance. All our glazing options contribute to lowering energy bills and achieving a better EPC rating, making them essential for landlords looking to future-proof their rental properties.

PVCu Doors

Our PVCu doors offer excellent thermal efficiency, helping to prevent heat loss and reduce energy consumption.

Known for their durability and resistance to weathering, PVCu doors are virtually maintenance-free and boast a long lifespan, making them a cost-effective solution for landlords.

With minimal upkeep and lasting performance, PVCu doors are a smart investment for improving the overall energy performance of a property.

Composite Doors

Staywarm’s composite doors, including Rockdoors, provide an even higher level of energy efficiency.

Rockdoors are A-rated as standard for thermal efficiency, ensuring that they offer superior insulation. Designed to withstand the elements while maintaining their stylish appearance, composite doors provide enhanced security, weather resistance, and, most importantly, energy savings.

For landlords looking to make a long-term investment in energy-efficient upgrades, composite doors are an excellent choice.

Windows

Upgrading windows is another essential step towards improving energy efficiency. Staywarm’s windows are engineered for optimal thermal performance and are virtually maintenance-free.

Our windows keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer, reducing the need for extra heating or air conditioning.

Staywarm’s windows use advanced thermal insulation and modern materials. They offer excellent U-values, helping to lower energy costs and improve EPC ratings. With robust construction and easy maintenance, landlords can provide tenants with a comfortable, energy-efficient home with minimal hassle.
