U-Value Calculation Tool – the Online Tool

The results of the U-value calculation tool are recognised by FENSA for their competent person scheme. Building control may accept the results as well. The calculator will allow the user to assess the performance of their products, whether metal-clad hardwood/softwood, PVCu, hardwood, softwood, metallic frames thermally or non-thermally broken and for various configurations of doors and windows.

Additionally, if the subscribers wish they can have the result independently verified by Build Check Ltd, a Notified Body, which can be issued as a full report acceptable as initial type testing for CE Marking.
