FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme. It
has been set up by the Glass
and Glazing Federation (GGF), with Government approval,
in response to the new Building Regulations for England and
Wales
From 1 April 2002, all replacement
glazing in dwellings will come within the scope of the
Building Regulations. From then on, anyone who installs new OR
replacement windows or doors will have to comply with
improved thermal performance standards.
When having their windows and doors
replaced from this date homeowners must ensure that they get
a certificate form Local Authority Building Control or have
the work completed by a FENSA Registered Company
One of the main reasons for this change to
the Building Regulations is the need to reduce energy loss.
