WHY NOISE REDUCTION IS SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT
The British Fenestration Rating Council ( BFRC ) has launched a new video , aimed at the trade , to highlight the benefits of its recently launched window and door Noise Reduction Rating Scheme .
» WITH THE ACOUSTIC performance of fenestration a rising priority for homeowners and specifiers , the video , which can be found at www . bfrc . org / noise-reduction , explains how the new BFRC labelling scheme can help systems houses , manufacturers and installers illustrate the proven noise-reducing credentials of their products , ensuring that they stand out from the competition .
Lis Clarke , BFRC Operations Director , said : “ The new video highlights how verifying acoustic product performance with the BFRC Noise Reduction Rating Scheme can benefit those in the trade .
“ Reducing noise pollution created by roads , railways and air traffic can greatly increase our
sense of wellbeing and the correct specification of windows and doors can reduce the impact of noise significantly . As a result , acoustic performance is front of mind for homeowners , specifiers and installers and as the video states : ‘ If you ’ re not proving the acoustic performance of your products , you could be missing out ’.”
Best-known as the trusted provider of the energy ratings labelling system for windows and doors , BFRC unveiled the independently verified Noise Reduction Rating Scheme in August 2020 .
Launched in response to homeowner-demand for higher levels of quality assurance , the scheme provides evidence , via the simple and highly recognised ‘ rainbow ’ scale , that windows and doors not only ‘ look the part ’ but can also offer proven noise reduction performance .
With leading systems supplier , Deceuninck , the first major industry brand to sign-up and other companies currently undergoing the certification process , BFRC believes the Noise Reduction Rating Scheme can significantly boost sales for product manufacturers and installers .
Lis Clarke added : “ The ability to prove the acoustic performance of windows and doors , as well as their energy performance with BFRC ratings , is an invaluable selling tool for the industry . We hope the new video makes it clear that this is really something to shout about .”
