Scotland's Trusted Double Glazing Windows Installer.

Double glazing is a type of window setup that allows for two panes of glass within a single frame, separated by a gap filled with a gas that has high insulation ability. This slows the movement of heat from inside the house to the outside, improving energy efficiency and impacting on energy bills, as well as reducing noise coming in from the outside. Double glazing windows can be installed within a range of different types of window frames and doors.

Whatever type of new windows you choose will be guaranteed to enhance your home, both inside and out. Our double glazing options will suit both traditional and newer properties.

Choose from our window options including casement windows, flush casement windows, tilt and turn windows, vertical sliding sash windows, and bay and bows to suit any home. You can opt for traditional white frames or a choice of colours and woodgrain effects. You can also decide if you’d like Georgian, stained, diamond lead or bevelled glass to perfectly suit your home.

Double glazing is not only suitable for windows, but can also be fitted with our door range, including French doors, patio doors, bi-fold doors, upvc doors, and composite doors.

We make use of a new generation of security, using Yale Rapide locks to provide you and your family with peace of mind. Yale Rapide offers greater lock engagement, connecting along the full length of the keep to provide additional security, while the lock’s aluminium channel enhances the strength of the window. With a 12-year mechanical guarantee, you’ll have full confidence in what are considered the safest and most secure window locks on the market.

There are a lot of ways in which things can eventually fail or go wrong with double glazing, aside from the usual chips and cracks. Here are a couple of ways you can gauge the performance and status of your double glazed windows and doors.

One thing to watch out for is condensation. Whilst condensation on the outside surfaces of the window can be hard to avoid, there shouldn’t be any at all between the panes. If you notice that condensation has begun to drip inside the window, then that is a sign that the insulation protection has failed.

There are a couple of reasons this could be, but usually, it’s the failure of the seals on the edges of the window. When they fail, moisture can enter the space between the window panes and this can affect the energy efficiency of your home.

Another way to tell if your windows need a repair or replacement is if you feel a draught. This is a sign of the window’s failure to close properly, or much like the last option, the seal has failed – although to a much larger extent. Identifying the source of the problem should be done through an inspection of both areas.

The UK has been hit with energy price hikes in recent years. Many homeowners in lower income brackets in Scotland have found themselves having to choose between the comfort in their own homes or being financially strained.

With our range of windows installed, homeowners will find that their windows will end up paying for themselves over time. Up to £200 a year is saved just purely through energy efficient windows. So with this in mind, installing double glazing, or even triple-glazed windows in Scotland, is one of the best home improvements you can make when you are wanting to impact on energy bills and your carbon footprint.

Listed buildings are buildings that have been recognised as having either historic or architectural significance, and they number more than 350,000. These buildings are protected by UK law and require permission from the local planning authority.

As for whether you can install new windows in a listed building, this is entirely up to the local planning authority that you bring the proposed installation in front of. The likelihood of having it approved depends on the grade of the listed building, the purpose of the change, the materials, accessibility, and the impact it will have on the original style of both the building and the windows themselves.

Buildings are divided into three grades, Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II:

Grade I: These buildings are prestigious, with a high amount of public, cultural and national significance. The craftsmanship of the building is highly acclaimed, and as a result, is protected to a large degree by the government. Even if the proposed changes are approved, they are likely to come with demands to make them sympathetic to the original vision. Examples of Grade I buildings include Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Hamilton Court etc.

Grade II*: These buildings are regarded with a special interest in the nation, although mostly by the region that its placed in. Examples of Grade II buildings in the UK include Scotland Street School Museum, the Clifton Suspension Bridge and St Pancras Station.

Grade II: These buildings are regarded by a significant portion of people as being special, mostly as a result of their architectural integrity and style. These are the most common type of listed buildings in the UK by far, making up 92% of listed buildings, and can even include residential buildings that people live in. Examples are wide-ranging, from levels of importance as the House of Parliament, to a pair of mills in Cheshire that were converted into flats.

As a general rule, it’s much easier to have a proposed change passed in Grade II* or Grade II building than a Grade I, especially when the energy-efficient new windows replace older, inefficient ones. Overall, one of the most important things to keep in mind when installing these windows is that the aesthetics are not disturbed.
