BBA
You can be certain our claims are well proven, independently checked and monitored by the DCLG.
The British Board of Agrément is an organisation partnered with Government and whose Governing Board includes representation on behalf of the Department for communities and Local government.
It has been set up to provide independent testing to validate claims made by manufacturers, that their products conform to the regulations and perform as expected. NHBC generally requires BBA certification for new build.
That means someone on behalf of the DCLG can confirm that our windows are robust, well made and built to last.
BBA certification on its own does not guarantee security or consistency of standards. The tests are onerous but to certain of a high quality, durable window you should also look for an ISO registered company (this proves their ability to provide windows to a consistent standard, and that they continuously strive to improve their processes).
The endurance testing ensures the whole window will open and close at least 20,000 times.
All PVCU Bygone windows are fully BBA approved, including the components, balances, hardware and even the Georgian bars have been certified for the lifetime of the sealed units.
