The Fensa team has updated its guide to compliance. Fensa-approved installers can download the new guide for free via Fensa’s installer portal.
The updated publication was produced in collaboration with specialists from RISA and the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF).
“Building regulations are constantly monitored to ensure the health and safety of anyone working on or using all types of buildings,” explained Lis Clarke, Fensa’s operations director. “Sometimes these changes are just tweaks on a previous clause, and sometimes the updates are more significant. Either way, it is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that the work they complete, and the products they fit, are compliant.
“With the recent changes to building regulations it was the perfect time to update and reissue our ‘Guide to Compliance’. This is the first update since 2016, so there is a plethora of new information to consider.
“The guide has been produced by experts in the industry with a wealth of experience, from the GGF, RISA and Fensa. It covers everything from structure to fire safety, sealing to ventilation and access to thermal performance. The updated guide means that installers have one publication covering everything they need to know.
“The guide is free to download and is a key document to help all Fensa-approved installers avoid any problems with meeting building regulations during installation.”
Lis added: “It’s important to stay on top of building regulations. There is sometimes much debate and discussion among industry peers about individual interpretations. It can be hard to sift through the onslaught of information to decipher the facts.
“For something so important, installers need a definitive guide. Fensa is pleased to provide this resource for the industry, so we can collectively continue to raise standards and provide reassurance to homeowners that the work on their house is compliant.” Read more about Fensa on their dedicated website.
