BFRC Ratings: What They Mean for Your Windows and Doors

We’re proud of our BFRC Certification and our ability to offer BFRC-rated windows and doors, ensuring that your home stays warm, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. But what exactly are BFRC Ratings, and why are they important?

What Are BFRC Ratings?

The British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) provides a trusted and easy-to-understand system that measures the energy efficiency of windows and doors.

Similar to the energy labels you see on household appliances, BFRC Ratings range from A++ to E, helping you make informed choices about the products you install in your home.

  • A++ is the highest possible rating, offering superior insulation and energy savings.
  • E is the least efficient rating, with more heat loss and lower energy performance.

The BFRC Ratings Scale

How Are BFRC Ratings Calculated?

BFRC Ratings are determined by combining several factors that contribute to the energy performance of windows and doors:

  • U-Value (Thermal Efficiency): Measures how well the product prevents heat from escaping.
  • G-Value (Solar Gain): Measures how much heat from the sun is absorbed to help warm your home naturally.
  • L-Value (Air Leakage): Indicates how much air can pass through, affecting insulation.

By taking all these factors into account, BFRC provides a comprehensive energy performance rating to help homeowners choose the best products for their needs.

Why Choose BFRC-Rated Products?

When you opt for BFRC-rated windows and doors from County Windows, you benefit from:
