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.
