Sapa Dualframe window 'A' window energy rating

Sapa Building Systems has announced that its Dualframe 75mm window system has been awarded a category 'A' Window Energy Rating.

Sapa Building Systems has announced that its Dualframe 75mm window system has been awarded a category 'A' Window Energy Rating.

Dualframe 75mm is the first and only aluminium window that has been awarded a rating under the Government-supported Window Energy Rating (WER) scheme and one of just a handful of windows that have achieved the highest and much coveted 'A' rating.

Sapa's fabricator Hazlemere Windows submitted the high specification Dualframe window to BMTrada for rating and underwent an external quality assessment audit.

The combination of glazing, spacer bar and high thermal performance of the frames meant that the whole window achieved the highest rating possible.

The 'A' rating also means that the Dualframe window meets the requirements to qualify for the Energy Saving Trust's Energy Recommended logo.

Sapa's Technical Director Mark Robinson commented: "The 'A' rating is significant as it means we can promote our most energy-efficient products to the market place".

"We see the WER scheme being built into more and more specifications for residential developments both in the public and private sector and, as Dualframe now has the independent endorsement of the Energy Rating label which, crucially, is clearly understood by consumers, we know this is going to be of great interest to the market in the future.".
