PAGEN Windows certified for NFRC
PAGEN is taking a significant leap in its expansion into the American market by joining the prestigious ranks of window manufacturers that meet NFRC standards. This achievement means that PAGEN's window constructions, based on the SALAMANDER system, can now proudly bear the NFRC certification, underscoring their quality and performance.
The NFRC plays a crucial role in helping consumers make informed decisions about window efficiency. To clarify the label, let's break down its main elements:
- U-Factor: This indicates how effectively a window prevents heat from escaping a room. A lower U-Factor means the window is better at retaining heat, which is particularly beneficial in colder climates.
- Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): SHGC measures the amount of solar radiation that enters your home through the window. In warmer climates, a lower SHGC is preferable as it reduces the amount of solar heat that passes through, keeping your home cooler.
- Visible Transmittance (VT): VT shows how much natural light a window allows into a space. A higher VT is ideal for maximizing daylight without bringing in excess heat, providing a balance between comfort and energy efficiency.
By understanding these NFRC ratings, you can choose windows that best suit your energy efficiency and comfort needs, ensuring your home stays comfortable and efficient. You can search for PAGEN products and necessary documentation on the National Fenestration Rating Council`s website by selecting `Product Manufacturers` - PAGEN Sp. z o.o. Once a Manufacturer is chosen, you may select from only the Product Types the selected Manufacturer offers. See more >>
NFRC is a nonprofit organization that administers a voluntary, uniform rating, labeling, and certification system for the energy performance of windows, doors, curtain walls, skylights, and other fenestration products. Its members include manufacturers, suppliers, utilities, consumer groups, representatives from the building and code industries, scientific and educational organizations, and government agencies.
It’s worth noting that after the successful IBS trade show in Las Vegas, the Polish window, door, roller shutter, and garage door manufacturer PAGEN has made another significant move to expand its presence in the US market. PAGEN has become a member of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the largest US organization representing manufacturers and suppliers in the residential construction industry. PAGEN’s products, which are based on Schüco aluminum systems, meet the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) testing standards and have been approved by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Certification for NFRC of PAGEN products is another important step in development on the American market and opens new opportunities for American business partners.
