BUILDING REGULATIONS - WINDOWS

The regulation of heat loss from a building is known as Part L of the Building Regulations. Our windows and French-doors are double glazed with ‘K-glass’ to give the required thermal insulating value, often referred to as U-value 2.

 

The health & safety aspects of the Building Regulations include fire-safety, safe-glazing and adequate ventilation. The sizes of opening windows are controlled, so that escape from a fire is not hindered. Glass in specified areas must be toughened or laminated.

Trickle-vents give ventilation for your boiler, and help eliminate mould-growth and the accumulation of pollutants.

 

We manufacture our windows to comply with building regulations, and provide a BWF approved document to certify this. Our clients normally ask their local council’s Building Control officer to provide them with a full Building Control certificate for their fitted windows.
