BFRC launches new A+ Rating for windows

BFRC is now accepting applications for the new ‘A+’band, which applies to windows only. Any BFRC ‘A’ rated product which achieves a rating index of 10 or more can be upgraded to an ‘A+’ for an administration fee of £50 (ex VAT).

Alternatively, manufacturers can also apply for new ‘A+’ licences.  All applications must be accompanied by a simulation report and can be made either directly to BFRC or through an independent agency.

These new ‘A+’ licences are available both as simplified energy licences (SELs) and detailed energy licences (DELs).  The first batch of ‘A+’ rated windows will all be announced on the same day in mid to late August.

BWF would be grateful to hear from any members who had or were looking at achieving such a rating.
