All new windows come with an energy efficiency rating from A to G. A is best, while G is the lowest rating. Anything above C is considered good, but these days most companies will be able to supply you with A-rated windows to maximise your energy efficiency.
Isle Of Scalpay
Scalpay is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Scalpay is around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) long and rises to a height of 104 metres (341 feet) at Beinn Scorabhaig. The area of Scalpay is 653 hectares (2.52 sq mi). The main negotiation on the island goes to the north, near the bridge, clustered around An Acairseid a Tuath (North Harbour). The island is peppered with small lochans. The biggest of these is Loch an Duin (Loch of the Ft) which has a tiny island in it, with the remains of the ft still visible. Eilean Glas, a little peninsula on Scalpay's eastern coast, is house to the first lighthouse to be constructed in the Outer Hebrides. Scalpay's nearest neighbour, Harris, is simply 300 metres (980 feet) away throughout the tightens of Caolas Scalpaigh. In 1997, a bridge from Harris to Scalpay was constructed, changing a ferry service. In 2001, the island had 322 people, whose major employment was fish farming and also prawn fishing. By 2011 the population had actually declined by 9% to 291 whilst during the very same duration Scottish island populations as a whole grew by 4% to 103,702.
