Sidey is now Energy Saving Trust approved, reinforcing the thermal efficiency levels of the Scottish fabricator’s windows and further adding to its growing list of accreditations.

The Energy Saving Trust endorses and approves energy efficient products that have met industry-agreed standards for performance and UK regulatory requirements.

Sidey Solartherm, Solartherm Plus and Smart Sash windows will now bear the Endorsed Product brandmark ‘stamp of endorsement’, demonstrating to consumers, homeowners and industry professionals that they meet energy performance criteria.

“We’re very pleased to be Energy Saving Trust approved,” Steve Hardy, Sidey’s joint managing director, said. “We take great pride in how thermally efficient our windows are, and this gives customers that extra assurance that they have been checked by EST, an independent and respected organisation.

“This endorsement is the latest in a long line of accreditations and certifications that we’ve achieved and comes on the back of becoming members of Independent Network and having our installation service endorsed by Which? Trusted Traders.”

Sidey also has ISO 45001:2018 (SSIP) for Occupational Health and Safety Management, and the latest BS 8213-4:2016 standard for survey and installation.

“It’s important to us to set ourselves apart from other manufacturers,” Steve said.
