“ We ’ re thrilled to partner with Reynaers to help prove the performance of their products with regards to energy efficiency ,” says Lis Clarke , Operations Director of FENSA & BFRC . “ Reynaers is clearly a quality focused brand with the emphasis on sustainability and innovation , which is precisely where the future of the window and door industry lies . But while innovation and quality are tangible in the features and benefits of a product , energy efficiency is invisible and needs a third-party impartial verification to substantiate manufacturers claims . We are pleased to be working with the team at Reynaers to deliver exactly this .”

John McComb , Technical Services Director for

Reynaers , explains : “ Since 2002 , thermal performance has become an industry driver , particularly in relation to new ideas , design , concept and overcoming new challenges . In fact , thermal efficiency is now at the forefront of our design criteria .

“ The BFRC Energy Rating Scheme is the premium UK authority for thermal efficiency rating . As such we ’ re delighted to join the scheme to further reinforce our commitment to high quality , high performance products . As well as developing new systems and products that comply , and in some cases , exceed the thermal requirements , it ’ s also important that we continue to educate the market , Reynaers staff , and our customers about

thermal performance , and partnering with the BFRC enables us to do this .

Lis concludes : “ Historically aluminium had a reputation for not having the highest levels of thermal efficiency . However , Reynaers , through the combination of new technologies and innovative design successfully delivers windows and doors with all the aesthetic benefits of aluminium and zero compromise when it comes to thermal efficiency . By partnering with the BFRC , the company can further prove its product performance in this regard and add another string to its bow when marketing Reynaers ’ sustainable building solutions to the market .”
