Door to more ratings

Veka has become the first systems company to register on the newly introduced Door Energy Ratings scheme.

In the biggest extension of the BFRC scheme since 2006, September 2011 has seen the energy ratings labelling system extend to include all types of domestic doors, including composite and PVC-U.

Colin Torley, Veka sales and marketing director said: “Here at Veka, we put a lot of work into making our door systems as energy-efficient as possible, so the extension of the BFRC scheme offers us another chance to show how confident we are in the quality of our products.

“The Veka Composite Door System, in particular, has gone through rigourous testing and further development and now the majority of doors in the range achieve a U-value of 1.2 or less, with some even gaining an impressive 1.0.

“We felt it was important to register with the new DER Scheme right away, as we understand how important energy ratings are as a sales tool for our customers when dealing with the public.”
