In light of rising utility bills and greater awareness of carbon emissions, homeowners and businesses alike are becoming increasingly conscious of window energy ratings. But what are they? What is a good energy rating, and what is a poor one? We take a closer look at this topic to help you decide on your next window installation.
You are also welcome to visit our Dorking showroom, just a short drive from Guildford, or to call us on 01306 880666 for guidance on all our products and services. Whether you have questions about self-cleaning glass, aluminium windows, or new doors, our team members are here to support you.
As reputable providers of modern aluminium glazing and other types of bespoke glazing, we must point out that not all glazed windows are made equal.
When you look into purchasing new windows from Dorking Window Company or another provider, you will likely come across a colourful label, similar to what you’ll find on white goods. This is courtesy of the BRFC (British Fenestration Rating Council), the most well-respected organisation for the verification of window performance. Each window they assess is given an energy performance rating based on numerous factors, such as heat loss, solar gain and air leakage, which is then displayed as a coloured line on the label.
The rating system is fairly simple and straightforward. Ranging from A+ as the best and G as the worst, the window installations with a rating closer to A+ are considered the most energy efficient.

If you are considering new conservatories, sunrooms or door installations, it’s worth noting the energy efficiency of your windows. If you purchase a window with a higher energy rating, you can make significant savings on your utility bills, providing you with long-term value while reducing your property’s carbon footprint.
uPVC, timber and aluminium windows with A or A+ rated window glass will typically have a higher initial cost than those with a lower energy rating. However, the extra funds you will gain from this installation will make your purchase more than worth it. Not to mention, you will be able to heat your property better during the winter months while keeping it cool and breezy in the summertime.
