REDUCE YOUR ELECTRICITY COSTS
Energy losses through old or poorly insulated doors and windows can vary depending on several factors, including the condition of the structure, insulation materials, seals and design. Old doors and windows can be a significant source of heat loss, which in turn increases energy consumption and affects heating costs.
Here are some ways in which energy loss can occur through old doors and windows:
Insulation: Older doors and windows may have inadequate or no insulation at all, making it easy for heat to leak out and cold air to enter.
Sealing: The seal around doors and windows can deteriorate over time, creating gaps and holes where air and moisture can pass, resulting in increased energy loss.
Materials: The materials used in older windows and doors may be less energy efficient compared to modern materials designed to minimize heat conduction and improve insulation.
Plain or untreated glass: Older windows may have single panes of glass or glass with low thermal performance, leading to increased heat loss.
Replacing old doors and windows with modern, energy-efficient doors and windows from Ekstrands can be an investment that pays for itself over time through reduced energy costs and improved indoor comfort. In addition to leading thermal insulation capabilities, Ekstrands has also tested the airtightness of double doors and double-hung windows. Regardless of which product you choose from Ekstrands, you can be sure that the product will deliver on its promises.
GET UP TO 30,000 SEK IN ENERGY SUPPORT FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
A large part of Sweden's population lives in older villas that are heated with electricity and have double-glazed windows. This combination results in high electricity consumption, especially during the winter of 2022/2023 when electricity prices reached record levels, which became costly for homeowners. To support homeowners and ensure a stable electricity supply, the government has introduced a subsidy to promote energy efficiency in single-family homes. The goal is to reduce energy consumption and thereby alleviate the financial strain on homeowners.
The energy efficiency support for single-family homes is divided into two main categories of measures. The first category refers to measures for converting the house's heating system. The second category includes improvement measures in the climate shield, which includes the house's outer protective layer. Measures eligible for support include additional insulation and the replacement of windows and exterior doors with a lower U-value to reduce heat leakage from the house.
The grant is available via the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's e-service until 2025. It is possible to apply for support for measures that have been implemented after 8 November 2022. This measure aims to encourage energy efficiency and create incentives for property owners to implement the necessary measures to improve the energy performance of their houses.

If you live in a single-family home that qualifies for the subsidy and are considering replacing windows, there is a possibility of receiving a subsidy equivalent to 50 percent of the material cost, with a maximum compensation of up to SEK 30,000. The material cost usually constitutes approximately 60–70 percent of the total cost of a complete window replacement. In addition, it is possible to deduct the costs of installation through ROT deductions.

BUY NOW AND PAY IN 24 MONTHS WITH EKSTRANDS INTEREST-FREE LOAN
With Ekstrand's interest-free installment account, you can divide your payment into up to 24 months without interest. Your purchase amount is divided into 24 equal installments.
If you want a longer installment period than 24 months, there is our low-interest account with a term of 36, 48, 60 or 72 months. With the Ekstrandslånet, you have the option of dividing your payment into longer repayment periods. The loan is repaid with an annuity, i.e. the same monthly cost throughout the repayment period (the monthly cost changes when interest rates increase/decrease). You can repay early or make extra payments at any time without any additional costs.
U-value & energy efficiency
By choosing products with a low U-value, you save energy. For the product to deliver what it promises, it also needs to be airtight. In addition to leading thermal insulation capabilities, Ekstrands has also tested the airtightness of double doors and double-glazed windows. Regardless of which product you choose from Ekstrands, you can be sure that the product delivers what it promises.
A majority of all energy-efficient windows marketed in Sweden have a U-value of around 0.9-1.2 W/(m²K). Options are often required to get below 1.0. Ekstrands has windows with U-values from 0.77 W/(m²K)
THERMAL INSULATION (U-VALUE)
The U-value indicates how well a product insulates (keeps heat and cold out). The lower the U-value, the better the product insulates. What defines a good U-value depends entirely on where the window is to be placed. In old houses where walls and ceilings leak a lot of energy, a U-value of around 1.0 - 1.3 is sufficient to increase indoor comfort. However, if you are building a passive house that is to be self-sufficient, the U-value should go below 0.80.
For windows, the P-label requires that the value be declared, thus no specific requirement for thermal insulation. SFDK requires ≤ 2.0 W/m²K.
SOLAR ENERGY TRANSMITTANCE (G-VALUE)
The G value shows how much energy is transferred through direct sunlight. The higher the value, the more energy and thus heating it generates (windows account for about 30% of heating in houses).
Something to consider here is how much heating you want to have through windows to the house. If you have large glass surfaces in tight newly built houses, it may be a good idea to look at a lower G value so as not to have to cool the house on hot sunny days. Also consider the window's position in terms of the compass, and how much solar energy reaches the window.
DAYLIGHT TRANSMITTANCE
Daylight transmittance is given as a percentage and is a measure of the amount of daylight that comes in through the window. A high daylight transmittance is preferable, as it will feel brighter.
