BFRC Window Energy Rating Scheme:

Our 'C' Rated PVCu are our standard
specification when it comes to energy
rated windows, but you can if you wish
upgrade to 'A' Rated if you prefer too !

What exactly is the BFRC?

BFRC (British Fenestration Rating Council)
is a wholly owned subsidiary of the glazing
industry’s trade association, the Glass and
Glazing Federation. Its ratings scheme for
Energy Efficient Windows is a voluntary
scheme that uses energy labels specifically
produced for windows that are similar to
the energy labels seen on most
household appliances.

It sets extremely stringent standards for windows to be rated. The BFRC Scheme is the UK’s national
system for rating the energy efficiency of windows and is recognised within the Building Regulations as
a method to show compliance for your replacement windows installation.

Why should I buy Energy Efficient Windows?

With carbon emissions high on the global agenda and the current high cost of fuel, we are all looking for
ways to make our homes more energy efficient. If your home is single glazed or your double-glazing was
installed prior to April 2002 then you could be losing more heat than necessary, and therefore money,
literally out of the window. However, by switching to Energy Efficient Windows you can save energy
and reduce your household bills by as much as £461 per year.

How do the products we use achieve such high energy rating standards?

Rehau PVCu Window Frames:

The design of our thermally efficient Rehau profile, coupled with co-extruded corded TPE weather seals and the latest technology locking systems helps to keep your home warmer and draught free. This means that when installed in conjunction with new generation glass units, we are able to meet the highest standards demanded by BFRC. Glazing and double glazed sealed units: Our standard sealed units incorporate Planitherm Total 1.1 glass.
The Planitherm low E coating will give up to three times more insulation than standard double glazing and significantly better insulation than other low E products. Not only does this mean lower energy bills (hence lower CO2 emissions), but it also eliminates cold areas around windows and will reduce condensation on the inner pane.

Planitherm Total: As Planitherm Total is remarkably neutral in both transmission and reflection as opposed to other low E products, the glass is incredibly clear and so white curtains still appear white when viewed from outside. The sealed units are also filled with inert argon gas to further improve the insulation characteristics. This enables us to offer a C rated window as standard. For even better performance you can upgrade to an A rated window. This has all the features as outlined above. In addition, one of the panes is made of low iron diamante glass to further increase the light transmittance properties for even clearer glass. Our A rated window sealed units also incorporate warm edge spacer bars for improved thermal efficiency.
