EUROCELL PRESS RELEASE: EUROCELL ‘BEST OF THE BEST’ FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The Eurocell Eurologik 70 Casement window profile system has become one of the first in the UK to be officially awarded the BFRC’s new A+ Window Energy Rating (WER).

Only windows that achieve an Energy Index of 10 or greater can achieve the new ‘best of the best’ A+ band.

The BFRC extended its window energy ratings bands to include an A+ to reflect the work that the industry is doing to push the boundaries of PVC-U window thermal performances.

Previously the highest WER possible had been an A-rating, although with the increasing number of windows that achieved this specificaiton, it had become increasingly difficult for homeowners and specifiers to distinguish different levels of performance within this band.

The new A+ branding will now help Eurocell customers highlight the ‘best of the best’ in terms of energy efficiency, when using windows fabricated using the Eurologik 70 Casement system, and therefore provide a clearer indication of thermal performance.

“Our Eurologik 70 Casement window is amongst the first to be awarded the coveted BFRC A+ rating,” said Phil Parry, Eurocell Accreditations Manager. “Gaining an A+ rating is a great way for our fabricators and installers to differentiate their highest energy rated products from the other standard A-rated windows in the market.”

Phil added: “We are encouraging as many of our customers as possible to talk to us about how we can help them through the process of gaining the A+ rating on their Eurologik window specification. There really is no better way of widening the performance gap between a Eurlogik window and all the standard A-rated products currently in the market.”

The A+ rating has been achieved using Eurocell PVC-U Thermal Inserts. These are made from 100% post-consumer recycled PVC-U and, along with improving the thermal performance of the frame, demonstrate sustainable use of materials.

Eurologik is available in thirteen colours as standard, including some exciting new additions such as Slate Grey and Irish Oak. Plus, up to 40 colours are available on just a three-week lead time. With increasing demand for coloured finishes, the range presents fabricators and installers with huge choice to better serve their customers.
