-Overall U-Value (thermal transmittance) of no more than 1.6 W/m2K for windows and 1.8W/m2K for external doorsets
-No hazardous substances are used
-Load bearing capacity
-Weatherproofing
A complete CE certificate is supplied with every window and doorset that RJR produce listing all relevant information
