We Are BSI Kitemark Registered!
Here at VBH, we are proud to have been awarded the new BSI Kitemark certification. This is in respect of Building Hardware used in window and door sets. We are one of the first companies to receive this certification!
To achieve this hardware Kitemark, we submitted various window and door samples to BSI for testing. This is so they conformed to all the relevant UK quality standards. The hardware covered includes the manufacture of a range of products. This includes outward opening and tilt & turn windows. It also includes residential, bi-fold, lift slide, inline sliding patio doors and the greenteQ Invisifold slide & fold door system.
Thanks to our MULTI-BRAND guarantee, we are happy to say the Kitemark certification covers the hardware we offer from a range of brands. These include Yale, AGB and Roto. Not only this, but the certification covers our own greenteQ hardware.
Naturally, it takes a lot to achieve this Kitemark but the benefits to us and our customers are many. Not only is the Kitemark a badge of quality for our products but it also gives added credence to our Q-secure consumer guarantee, as all the hardware on our Kitemark schedule is also on our Q-secure Approved Hardware list.
Lastly, it also gives the possibility of us helping VBH customers to more easily achieve their own accreditation. Depending on what steps they take, this can lead to gaining additional business from the new build and commercial sectors.
