CR Windows is celebrating being one of only a few manufacturers in the UK to hold the three coveted British Standard Kitemarks and Secured by Design against BS7412, BS7950/BS7412 and BS8213-4.
The Bristol-based company shares these prestigious accolades with only seven other window companies in the UK, out of a total of over 1,800. This makes it the only company in the South West, and for a 110 miles radius, to achieve this. CR Windows is pushing the boundaries in terms of thermal performance, too, by manufacturing and installing a full range of British Fenestration Ratings Council (BFRC) ‘A’ rated energy saving windows. The company was already ahead of its field when, in 2008, it began offering ‘C’ rated windows as standard across its range.
“Achieving all three British Standard Kitemarks, along with Secured by Design and a BFRC energy rating, demonstrates our commitment to remain the leading window, door and conservatory manufacturer and installer in the West Country.” said Mark Brown, Sales Director of CR Windows. “An increasing number of customers associate the Kitemark with a symbol of quality, which means they have complete piece of mind when buying from us.”
CR Windows is reporting that more customers than ever are choosing its BFRC A energy rated windows. Those that do make the upgrade often look for independent assurance that they are investing in a quality product, which will add value to their property – and CR Windows is finding that a triple-Kitemarked product with a BFRC energy rating and Secured by Design is the best ways of demonstrating this. Secure by Design is a programme backed by the
Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and aims to recognise products that offer enhanced security across domestic and commercial projects. CR Windows has a quality ethos running throughout its business that includes documented inspection points throughout its manufacturing and installation process to ensure customers receive the highest standard possible.
