Double glazing: is it worth going for A/B rated windows?

Options
The in-thing seems to be to offer A or B rated windows.

Is it worth it?

I've been quoted a standard window that has FENSA and building regulation certificate.

To upgrade to A-rated is 10% more.

    I don't know about A ratings - but we just bought Folding Sliding doors and the 1.2u value was only 40 quid more than the standard 1.8u - that's about a 2% increase!

    Glass is pretty cheap in the overall units so for a better glass to be 10% of the total cost again seems a bit much to me but then it doesn't sound that bad when they sell it that way!

    Of course, it's good to have better windows though. Are you using a small independent company?
