Rapid Frame in Walsall has achieved the highest British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) energy rating for its standard Formulaone PVC-u window range, with BM TRADA Certification .

This latest A-rated window has brought together a combination of Aluplast Ideal 70mm casement window system, Edgetech's Super Spacer warm edge technology sealed units using Pilkington's 4mm Optiwhite and Pilkington K glass with 16mm Argon gas filling.

The result is an A-rated window 'which incurs minimal extra cost on an overall houseful of windows', according to Rapid Frame Sales Manager Barry Parker.

Rapid Frame sales are expected to increase, he added.

' We are proud to be leading the field by having achieved the first cost-effective A rating with our Formulaone range.

This will obviously provide real opportunities for both present and future Rapid Frame customers and is a welcome extension to our range'.

The BFRC window energy rating scheme is probably the most important industry initiative for many years.

With global warming very much in the news, homeowners have never been more aware about the need to improve the thermal efficiency of their homes.

'Choosing an energy-rated window will add value to their homes as well as helping to protect the environment,' said Barry Parker.

Rapid Frame is fully behind Edgetech's '5% VAT on Energy Windows Campaign' and will be writing to its local MP.
