BFRC Rated Energy Efficient Windows and Doors

The British Fenestration Rating Council is a trusted and impartial rating council for evaluating and verifying the energy performance of windows and doors.

A BFRC Rainbow rating from (A++ – E) is applied to products and proves your windows and doors will perform as promised.

BRFC certification is proof that products are compliant with the latest Building Regulations for energy performance. Windows should have a rating of B and higher; sliding and bifold doors come with ratings of C and higher.

Unlike slimline frames, handles and finishes, energy efficiency isn’t something you can see, so the BFRC rating is really helpful when comparing products and making your glazing choices.

WHY USE an Approved BFRC Manufacturer?

Manufacturers of quality windows and doors value impartial proof that their products will perform as promised. That’s why the BFRC was founded: to give companies like ODC the most trusted, simple and expert advice about energy efficiency and the ability to offer customers the reassurance that their products are compliant with the latest building regulations.

THE benefit of an Approved BFRC Installer

Installers of windows and doors should know about BFRC ratings and advise customers on their options for the most energy efficient products for homes – informed installers benefit from great referrals to generate business rather than relying on discounted prices to win a sale.
