Energy Ratings

Window Energy Rated (WER)

The BFRC Window Energy Rating (WER) method include all of the relevant factors in the energy efficiency of a window, as well as including the 'loss factors' such as U-value, it also includes the 'gain factors' such as the solar heat gain.

Informed decisions making for the homeowner

It provides consumers with clear identification of energy efficient products to enable them to make informed purchasing decisions. For windows, the BFRC Rating and the BFRC label provide a 'better ruler' to establish the total energy performance of a rated window.

Energy labels allow buyers to compare and select products based on the product's specific energy performance rather than on manufacturers claimed values Window Energy Rating (WER) identifies energy saved by installing WER rated window.

A Rated Windows

What are Brighton Trade ECO Window Energy Rated Windows?

Our windows have achieved the window Energy Rating (WER) C Rating and above as certified by the BFRC. Our products are proven to help maintain the over all effientcy of the whole window.

How is energy saved by fitting Brighton Trade WER Windows?

Brighton Trade WER Windows are more efficient than a standard window. With less energy being lost, the householder would require less and therefore save fuel and have reduced heating costs, as well as having reduced carbon emissions.

How is this achieved?

An important factor in the Brighton Trade energy efficient window is its U-value. A window with a low U value loses less heat than one with a high U-value. Brighton Trade Windows ensure that every component of the whole window contributes to a better U-value. These include:
The type of glazing material.
The number of glazing layers.
The size of the cavity between the glazing layers.
The type of gas in the cavity between the layers.
The design, material and type of frame and the other components.
