The PLATINUMPLUS range of windows from Bay Tree bring light, warmth and beauty into the home. If the windows are poorly
selected they can become a major source of heat loss in the winter which increases the carbon footprint of the property and increases the heating costs.
The British Fenestration Rating Council Limited (BFRC) window
rating system has been developed to address this problem and allows you to compare the energy efficiency of different products. Windows are rated A - G with A being the most efficient. The PLATINUMPLUS range conforms to the highest possible rating - A - so you can rest assured that by using PLATINUMPLUS you will not only be saving money but also reducing your carbon footprint.
How are ratings achieved....
In simple terms all of the window frames supplied by Bay Tree will comply with the specification for a BFRC A rated window when the correct double glazed unit is installed. The ratings are affected by using different glass, spacer bar and gas filling between the panes.

How it works....
Energy efficient windows allow optimal amounts of the sun’s energy to pass through the glass into the room allowing you to benefit from solar heat gain. At the same time the advanced glass coating on the inside reflects the heat inside back into the room rather than allowing it to escape. Both these features reduce or eliminate the need for additional heating.
