Wexford-based Senator Windows Ltd is the first manufacturer in Southern Ireland to achieve a British Fenestration Rating Council ‘C' rating on its casement windows.

Keith Ogilvie, Quality Manager at Senator Windows explains: ‘We achieved the C rating of -13 kWh/m2/yr for internally beaded casement windows and -15 kWh/m2/yr for externally beaded casements. We have been an Edgetech customer for the last four years and use Super Spacer, which undoubtedly made the real difference in securing this rating.'

Southern Ireland is not yet covered by The British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) but in Keith's estimation the Irish government will have the new energy efficiency standards in place and enforced within the next three years. Senator, which manufactures between 1,100 and 1,200 windows a week, intends to make the most of its energy rating.
