Press Release from BFRC released this week
September 2011 sees the launch of the BFRC Door Energy Ratings Scheme (DER). This will extend use of the renowned and respected BFRC energy rating label to all kinds of domestic doors – external pedestrian doors and French, folding and sliding glazed doors. This represents the biggest extension of the BFRC scheme since 2006.
In the UK 1.7 million doors are sold each year worth a staggering £772 million (source: Palmer Report 2010). Until now homeowners were unable to easily assess the energy efficiency properties of the doors they were purchasing or able to quickly compare competing product. All of this changes with the launch of the BFRC DER scheme.
