Regulations

FENSA was set-up by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), in response to the new Building regulations for England and Wales.

Any replacement glazing that has been installed after April 2002 will have to be certified – either by a FENSA registered company or by local authority, ensuring all installations meet the required standard.

FENSA sample the work of installers by appointing inspectors, to ensure standards are maintained.

BWC became a FENSA registered company in 2002, when the scheme was first introduced.

The Federation was formed to ensure that the standard of product and workmanship offered by its members is of the highest standard and to give independent advice to the customer of its members companies.

Members of the Federation are selected from companies, large and small, that provide domestic, commercial and industrial customers with replacement window, door and conservatory installations of consistently superior quality.

Federation members follow a code of installation practice that requires installations to be carried out with the minimum of disturbance, and in compliance with the Federation’s standard of excellence.
