January Sale – NOW ON
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011Double Glazing – Changes to Part L October 2010
Monday, September 6th, 2010Double Glazing – Changes to Part L in Building Regulations
The major change affecting all property owners and the double glazing industry in the Building Regulations approved document L1B on conservation of fuel and power is that replacement windows and doors ordered on or after 1st October 2010 must have a Window Energy Rating (WER) of at least band C (currently E) or a combined U Value of 1.6 W/m2K, and doors a combined U Value of 1.8 W/m2K max. There is an exception where replacement windows cannot comply for appearance or building character reasons. In these circumstances only a centre page U Value of 1.2 W/m2K will be accepted. The exemption applies only where the energy efficiency requirements would “unacceptably alter the character or appearance” of existing dwellings.
Here at Ramsdales we already achieve and pass the new regulations with flying colours. In fact we offer A rated upvc windows across the North East of England (The highest standard of double glazing possible). Our BFRC Reg number in 1971
