Welcome to the Gold Standard of Window and Door Manufacturing
At the forefront of innovation and quality, we believe in setting the benchmark for excellence in the window and door industry.
What is the Gold Standard?
The Gold Standard is a proposed industry-wide quality mark that signifies windows and doors manufactured in strict compliance with UK regulations and voluntary standards. This distinctive mark will empower consumers and industry professionals alike to make informed decisions by identifying products that meet the highest benchmarks for safety, durability, and craftsmanship.
Our mission is to promote regulatory standards in the window and door industry by providing a simple and trusted certification for manufacturers following best practices and regulations.
Our vision is to lead the window and door industry towards improved quality and compliance, ensuring that certified, trustworthy products become the preferred choice for everyone.
How It Works
- Voluntary Scheme: The Gold Standard is a voluntary accreditation scheme aimed at distinguishing window and door manufacturers who meet all UK regulatory standards. It helps set these manufacturers apart from those producing non-compliant products.
- Eligibility: To qualify for the Gold Standard, manufacturers must submit independently audited certificates that confirm their compliance with required manufacturing regulations. Proof of compliance must be submitted annually in line with audits.
- Consumer Trust: Homeowners will be able to seek out products with the Gold Standard, knowing they meet rigorous production standards. Installers, too, can use the mark as a tool to challenge subpar competitor quotes and promote their own quality offerings.
