Energy efficiency has become one of the most important considerations in today’s housing market. Rising energy costs and evolving regulations mean homeowners are increasingly focused on balancing comfort with running costs and sustainability.
For installers, this creates opportunities. Offering quality products can set your business apart and help you meet demand. At Origin, energy performance is not an afterthought – it is engineered into everything we design.
Every product in the Origin range is built to not only meet current and future building regulations, but to exceed them too. That means installers can specify our systems with confidence, knowing they are offering the most thermally efficient door and window systems on the market. This is made possible by our in-house research and development team, who are continually innovating our systems to deliver more for our partners.
Aluminium, while inherently strong and lightweight, is not naturally thermally efficient. The reason Origin systems perform so well lies in the technology our R&D team has developed to unlock their full potential. By combining advanced materials with precision engineering, we have created doors and windows that balance strength, aesthetics, and best-in-class performance.
We are proud to be at the forefront of the drive for more thermally efficient glazing solutions, demonstrated clearly in our most recent product launch, the OS-29+ sliding door.
Innovation in action: Aerogel
One example of how we achieve outstanding efficiency is the use of Aerogel. When integrated into the polyamide break, it allows our OW-80 premium window to achieve U-Values as low as 0.8 W/m2K. Aerogel is the least conductive material on earth and has even been used in space exploration to insulate astronauts’ suits. When applied in glazing systems, it provides remarkable thermal performance without increasing bulk or weight.
Alongside Aerogel, other technologies play a vital role. Thermal breaks within the aluminium frame interrupt heat transfer, which allows rooms to remain cool in summer and warm in winter. These design innovations mean our systems can deliver levels of efficiency that were once only possible with far heavier or less versatile constructions.
The OS-29+ is a clear example. Engineered to achieve U-Values as low as 0.78 W/m2K, it is the most thermally efficient aluminium sliding door available in the UK today. This level of performance allows installers to specify a statement product that also sets the benchmark for energy efficiency.
What sets Origin apart is not just efficiency, but the balance it finds between thermal performance and design. For example, our OW-70 window achieves such impressive U-Values in a double-glazed unit that other manufacturers can only reach the same performance with triple glazing.
For homeowners, this means improved comfort without the higher material costs of an additional pane of glass. For installers, it is a powerful message to share: better performance, less complexity, and greater value.
Building for the future
The future of construction is clear. Homes must be built to use less energy, and glazing plays a central role in this. At Origin, our products already go beyond the standards of today and tomorrow, ensuring that every system installed is future-ready.
For our partners, this provides reassurance. They can show customers that their investment is not only stylish and durable, but also designed to keep their home efficient and comfortable for decades to come.
By working with Origin, partners can offer glazing solutions that help them meet market demand, build trust, and secure long-term success.
