When it comes to the installation of windows, energy efficiency is paramount these days. In line with current regulations and the energy conservation stipulations of Document L, all windows need to achieve a window U-value of 1.6 or less, 'U' being the rate of heat loss through a material. Energy efficient windows can minimise your heating and lighting costs, increase the comfort of your home and help the environment with fewer carbon emissions. At Heritage, we offer a range of windows that meet the BFRC's Window Energy Ratings (WER) of 'A', 'B' and 'C' energy ratings. Both 'A' and 'B' rated windows have a 'U' value of 1.4, with the 'A' rating gaining a higher energy index rating.
Heritage windows are supplied with full BFRC certificates and energy saving logos, giving our customers visual proof and the assurance that they are getting windows that both contribute to the future of our planet and decrease their own carbon footprint.
You can get further information on the BFRC's Window Energy Ratings from www.bfrc.org.
