Window Energy Ratings (WER) and what they mean
The BFRC Window Energy Rating (WER) scheme is a measurement of the energy efficiency of a window, taking into account heat loss through the window, air leakage and the amount of solar heat gain. Windows are graded from G as the least efficient, up to A as the most energy efficient.Why the need for Window Energy Ratings?
By using our WER high performance range of windows you will:
- Improve the energy efficiency of your home
- Save money on your fuel bills (see our Energy Savings Calculator to see how mich you could save)
- Become more environmentally friendly - through use of recycling & PVC-U environmentally friendly materials and lower carbon emissions
How will it make my home more energy efficient?
Simply using a B-Rated or above window reduces the amount of energy lost through windows by up to 90%.
That's enough energy to:
- Run 9 televisions for a year
- Drive over 600 miles in an average sized car
- Make 34,000 cups of tea
