What is Fensa
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.
Fensa
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.
When you come to sell your property, your buyer’s solicitor will ask for evidence that any replacement glazing installed since April 1st 2002 complies with the Building Regulations. But don’t worry, because as a FENSA registered installer, a6 windows is responsible for making sure that the double glazing that is fitted to your home comply with the rules.When having windows and doors replaced homeowners must comply with current thermal peformance standards and ensure that they get a certificate of compliance from FENSA or from Local Authority Building Control. FENSA also enables companies that install replacement windows and doors to self certify compliance under these Building Regulations. We will inform FENSA who will then issue your certificate of compliance to you once the installation has been completed. Click the logo below to find out more...
