FAQ
1) What is FENSA - FENSA standards for Fenestration Self-assessment Scheme – launched in 2002 to as a means of compliance to Building Regulations.
Fensa makes sure that the correct type of heat retention glass has been used , checks on whether a certain sealed units should have been toughened and checks that where possible there is a means of escape from bedroom windows.
2) Do I need a FENSA certificate for a garage window ?
NO – You only need a FENSA certificate for windows in the main house
3) Do I need a FENSA certificate for a conservatory ?
Again NO – Conservatories do not come under FENSA jurisdiction
4) Do I need a FENSA certificate for a back door
Most probably No – if the area of glass is less than half of the BRICKWORK OPENING SIZE - then a certificate will not be needed
5) Can I complain to FENSA if I am NOT happy with my windows
NO – Fensa is not a quality mark for installation If you are concerned about lack of aftercare choose a window firm belonging to the DGCOS or the GGF.
