Why Does the NFRC Certified Steel Windows and Doors Label Matter?

The NFRC Label will not tell you which window to purchase, but NFRC Certified Ratings can be a valuable tool, much like the miles-per-gallon sticker on a new car. The NFRC Label provides:

  • Whole Product Ratings –The NFRC testing protocols involve testing of the full window — including glass, frame, spacers, and any other component that is a permanent part of the complete product. This strategy provides you with a more accurate reflection of how the product will perform in the home than testing of just glass, as the framing and other components influence ratings such as U-factor, Solar Heat Gain, and Visible Transmittance. (For more information about these ratings and what they mean for you, see Energy Ratings.)
  • Information You Can Trust The NFRC Label is the only window label that provides Certified Ratings that are acquired through independent testing of the product. An interactive example of the NFRC Label is shown, with information on the Certified Ratings provided, on The NFRC Label page.
  • A Way to Verify the Accuracy of the Label –The NFRC rating process provides you with a way to verify that the Certified Ratings provided on the NFRC Label are accurate via the Certified Products Directory (CPD). The NFRC Label provides the manufacturer name, the type of window, as well as the Full CPD Number, making searching the database for the product a snap.
  • A Fair and Accurate Basis for Comparing Products – Ratingson the NFRC Label have been achieved through standardized test methods at independently operated laboratories. This standardized method allows you to compare Certified Ratings on the NFRC Label of Manufacturer “A” to those on the Certified Label of Manufacturer “B” – for equal and fair comparisons. For more information on comparing products, see The Shopping Guide and print out “Understanding the NFRC Label” to bring the information to the store with you.
  • Confidence That the Product You are Buying Will Meet Your Needs – The NFRC Label provides the performance information that you need to determine how the window will perform in the home. The NFRC Label allows you to make an informed choice about an expensive product that will stay in your home for many years.
