E-Tech Glazing Limited proudly offers Smart uPVC windows with integrated smart features for enhancing effectiveness.

Through this innovative notion, the installers—who have been the source of real-time feedback from end users, including homeowners and commercial property owners—came up with the dire need for smart and energy-efficient windows and doors.

Responding to the call will surely enable the installers to reap fruits if they gel with the innovative providers who offer smart technology without putting them into trouble or requiring high-tech training to understand the system. Deliberations on this are provided below:

Installer Inclination
Something that uPVC installers love about smart technology is its ability to integrate with all kinds of window systems, meaning not much change is required from their end to supply the new tech.
The window frame remains exactly the same, while the new technology sits within the internal frame.

This means installers don’t need specialist installation courses to supply the product and can continue to offer premium uPVC alongside the new technology.

Security Enhancements
Window security has always been a key sticking point for homeowners, which is why uPVC manufacturers have focused heavily on improving it to ease the minds of millions of homeowners.

Using top-grade mechanics and an 8-point locking system ensures that when a window is locked, it stays locked. However, there’s nothing the manufacturer can do if a window is accidentally left open—this is where Smart Window technology steps in.

Smart Windows can bring constant updates to homeowners who forget to lock or close their windows after leaving. This has stirred major interest in the UK market—not just for the benefits to homeowners—but also for their ability to monitor the security of extended family homes.

Some homeowners worry about the security of their relatives’ or patients’ homes, especially due to illness or old age.

One benefit of smart technology is being able to check whether others’ windows are open or closed. Using Smart Window technology, family members and healthcare providers can be automatically updated if an elderly person or patient leaves a window open at night or forgets to lock it when leaving.

Studies have regularly found that elderly people are more at risk of burglary and similar crimes due to being more socially isolated. Using smart technology to make them and their homes less isolated is a great step forward.

Energy Saving Benefits
Alongside security, energy efficiency is a massive influence on purchase decisions.

Over the past 30 years, uPVC has been a shining light in this field thanks to its thermal efficiency. Now Smart Windows are adding more benefits to this competitive issue. Leaving a window open during winter can severely affect heat retention, even with double or triple glazing installed.

Smartphones now allow homeowners to check whether windows are open, closed, or locked, letting them keep an eye on their home’s thermal efficiency from anywhere.

Energy efficiency often depends on small margins—from the amount of roof insulation to air pockets in windows—so being able to monitor windows is a major improvement over past functionality.

On top of this, Smart Windows can integrate with uPVC windows, allowing homeowners to enjoy smart technology benefits without losing the energy efficiency uPVC already offers.
