CR Windows Flying High With Three New Kitemarks
CR Windows is celebrating being one of only a few fabricators 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 Eurocell fabricator shares these prestigious accolades with only seven other fabricators 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 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 a leading window, door and conservatory fabricator in the UK,” said Mark Brown, Managing 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-C 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.
Mark Brown adds: “An increasing number of public sector projects are now using the highest certification levels to attract more funding, which is based on several factors including security, thermal efficiency and manufacturing quality – having these accreditations can therefore be a huge help to contractors and installers that choose to source from us on these types of project.”
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 products.
