The National Home Improvement Council (NHIC) is highlighting the universal benefits of insulation – irrespective of the time of year.

Winter is often a popular season for homeowners to invest in double glazing insulation because of the favourable impact it has on energy consumption, lowering heat loss through windows by up to half. But according to NHIC technical consultant Andrew Leech the benefits of installing such heat-trapping devices stretch far beyond merely lowering winter fuel bills.

Energy savings can be notched up all-year-round – especially given Britain’s notoriously unpredictable climate – and homeowners will also enjoy the added bonus of knowing their home is contributing to the fight against climate change. "I think now is a good time – let alone whether it’s winter or not – to insulate your property because it’s something that should be there all year round," Mr Leech said. "You shouldn’t just be thinking about it now, at winter … It’s the sort of thing you ought to do in any case."

He cautioned, however, that installing insulation without professional assistance can be "tedious" and is "not an easy job".

The British Airports Authority (BAA) has endorsed the practice of installing double glazing insulation to block out the noise caused by overhead aircraft. According to the Guardian, BAA recently wrote to 41,000 homeowners living under Heathrow’s night-time flightpaths, offering them subsidies towards the installation of double glazing in windows and doors.

Anyone living within a 90-decibel "noise footprint" surrounding the airport is eligible for the scheme, prompting some critics to accuse the authority of opportunistically pre-empting the construction of Heathrow’s third runway. BAA dismissed that suggestion out of hand, however, abruptly telling the Guardian: "It has nothing to do with the third runway and there are no conspiracies here."

Rather, the authority insists it is simply trying to find a solution to the ongoing problem of loud aircraft by promoting a noise-reducing technology that carries with it environmental and cost-saving benefits for homeowners. Each year, about 6,000 flights operating out of Heathrow land or take off between 23:30 and 06:30.
