JELD-WEN A+ windows rating gets top marks

JELD-WEN, the UK’s leading manufacturer of timber windows, doors and stairs, has been awarded the top A+ rating for its Stormsure + casement window range, in compliance with the BFRC Window Energy Rating scheme.

The newly enhanced Stormsure casement range of windows now covers a range of energy performance levels. Making it the ideal specification for sites with varying performance requirements that also stipulate the need for a uniform appearance.

In addition to offering the highest possible energy rating, the Stormsure casement is available with a thicker sash to accommodate triple glazing (in addition to double) and is supplied with Pilkington glass as standard. Specified with projecting hinge, espagnolette locking system and with Secured by Design options the redeveloped Stormsure casement range improves the aesthetics of a property and simplifies the specification process for installers, housebuilders and self-builders.

Tony Pell, Senior Product Manager, said: “We have improved our Stormsure casement window range in order to provide customers with the highest rated energy efficiency and triple glazing options, in addition to the benefits our customers have come to expect from JELD-WEN, such as low emissivity coated Pilkington glass, suited hardware and factory finished softwood timber frames, available in a variety of stain or paint finishes.

“With various casement designs available with A+ rating merchants will be able to supply the highest quality products to their customers that offer superb thermal efficiency, sound insulation and an attractive appearance.”

For projects in conservation areas, JELD-WEN’s newly developed Elegance flush sash casement window comes with A rating options and meets planning requirements without compromising on modern functionality.
