Stanek Windows Certifications & Associations

As an organization, we are dedicated to quality and are proud of our commitment to excellence in everything we do. We are happy to be associated with the following leading industry organizations.

National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC)NATIONAL FENESTRATION RATING COUNCIL® (NFRC)

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit public/private organization created by the window, door and skylight industry. It established a voluntary national energy performance rating and labeling system for fenestration products. The National Fenestration Rating Council consists of architects, manufacturers, suppliers, builders, designers, utilities and government agencies.

The goal of NFRC is to provide accurate information to measure and compare the energy performance of window, door or skylight products. The NFRC rates the following: U-factor, solar heat gain, visible light transmittance and air leakage.


ENERGY STAR®ENERGY STAR®

ENERGY STAR was introduced in 1992 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is a voluntary labeling program to identify and promote energy-efficient products in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In 1996, the EPA and the US Department of Energy partnered together to expand their coverage to new homes, residential heating and cooling equipment, major appliances, office equipment, lighting and consumer electronics.

If all consumers made their choice to purchase ENERGY STAR-labeled products, they would make a sizable contribution in reducing air pollution and protect the earth's climate for future generations. They would also help reduce the national annual energy bill by about $200 billion over the next decade. Remember, money is not the only thing you, the consumer, will be saving.


NAMINAMI®

The agency specializes in fenestration and building envelope products which include windows, patio doors, skylights, entrance doors, sidelites, transoms, glazing wall systems, site-built and insulating glass products.
