Fensa stands Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme.

So that replacement windows, and doors in homes comply with current thermal performance and Building regulations. Fensa enables companies that install replacement windows and doors to self-certify compliance under these Building Regulations , therefore its important you choose a company that’s Fensa registered. Fensa assess my work to ensure my work is compliant with regulations.
