Fensa Registered Company |

PVC U windows have always been energy efficient. But now
thanks to new government building regulations, there are minimum
standards of energy efficiency that window, door and conservatories
fitted in the UK must meet.
The regulations are known as "Document L" (Document J in
Scotland) and they set energy efficiency targets that reduce
heat loss from frames and glass to help Great Britain meet
its commitment to reduce green house gases under the Kyoto
accord.
To ensure that you fit replacement windows that meet these new standards, the
Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) and other industry bodies. With government
encouragement, have set up FENSA - the Fenestration Self-Assessment scheme. Companies
in the FENSA scheme will provide you with a certificate confirming that their
windows comply with the new regulations. Installations by FENSA - registered
companies are subject to random inspections by the schemes representatives.
