Double Glazing Edinburgh

Double Glazing Edinburgh, Edinburgh Glazing Company

Edinburgh Glazing Company supplies and fits double glazing, doors, and conservatories throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. We cover all Edinburgh postcodes and work across East Lothian, Midlothian, and West Lothian, from the New Town and Marchmont to Morningside, Corstorphine, Leith, Portobello, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Penicuik, and Livingston. One window or a full house, we manage the whole job from the free survey through to the finished installation.

Windows account for up to 30% of a home's heat loss, and that figure gets worse as seals and frames age. Edinburgh's winters are cold, the wind off the Forth is persistent, and driving rain gets into any weakness in an older frame. Once a sealed unit fails and condensation builds up between the panes, it will not clear on its own. Replacement is the only solution. New A+ rated double glazing brings that heat loss right down, with our standard units achieving U-values as low as 1.0 W/m²K against 5.0 W/m²K or more for single glazing. Most Edinburgh homeowners feel the difference in the first winter. Energy bills drop, rooms are warmer, and a surveyor will note the presence of newer, rated glazing when you come to sell.

Double Glazing Products We Supply And Fit In Edinburgh

We cover a full range of products, so most customers can get everything done through one company rather than juggling separate contractors. Here is what we regularly supply and fit across Edinburgh and the Lothians:

• uPVC double glazed windows, casement, tilt and turn, and sash styles, A+ rated as standard
• Triple glazed windows, for maximum thermal performance with U-values as low as 0.6 W/m²K
• Composite front doors, solid timber core with a GRP outer skin, available in over 100 colours
• uPVC doors, low maintenance and affordable, with multi-point locking as standard
• French doors, hinged pairs suited to period Edinburgh properties and modern builds alike
• Patio doors, sliding in two, three, or four pane configurations
• Bi-fold doors, concertina folding, available in openings up to six metres wide
• Conservatories and sunrooms, designed for year-round use, not just the summer months

Composite doors are the most popular choice for Edinburgh front doors right now. They have a solid timber core inside a glass reinforced plastic outer skin, which means they do not warp, crack, or fade regardless of what a Scottish winter does to them. Older timber doors and standard uPVC both deteriorate over time, but composite holds its shape and colour without any maintenance beyond a wipe down. They come in a wide range of colours and panel styles, from woodgrain finishes that suit a period property in Marchmont or the New Town, to contemporary solid colours for a newer build in Corstorphine or Liberton.

Double Glazing Costs In Edinburgh

Prices depend on the number of windows, the style, the size of each opening, and whether you need full frame replacement or just the sealed units. A standard casement window generally starts from around £400 to £600 supplied and fitted. A composite front door generally starts from £900 to £1,200 installed. Triple glazing costs more than standard double glazing but is increasingly popular in Edinburgh given the city's winters, and a well fitted unit lasts 20 to 25 years so it is worth getting the specification right.

We give you a fixed written quote after the free survey. The price on the quote is the price on the invoice, with no figures that change once your order is placed. Removing old frames and making good around the installation are included as standard.

Edinburgh Properties And Double Glazing

Edinburgh's housing stock is more varied than most Scottish cities. You have Georgian and Victorian terraces in the New Town and Stockbridge, sandstone tenements across Marchmont, Bruntsfield, and the Southside, inter-war semis in Corstorphine and Morningside, post-war bungalows in Liberton and Gilmerton, and modern builds on the expanding edges of the city. Each type of property has different requirements.

Tenement flats come with specific considerations. Openings in older tenements are frequently non-standard in size, upper floors need tilt and turn windows for safe cleaning from inside, and access on fitting day requires planning. Properties in Edinburgh's conservation areas may have restrictions on visible frame profiles and finishes. We survey every property individually and recommend what suits the opening, the floor level, and the property type, rather than pushing whatever is easiest to fit.

How The Installation Works

Every job starts with a free survey at your property. One of our team visits, measures each opening accurately, and goes through the options with you. Edinburgh properties regularly have openings that are out of square or non-standard in size, and getting the measurements right at this stage is what makes everything fit on the day.

Once you confirm your order, your windows and doors are manufactured to the exact measurements we took at survey. Lead times are typically a few weeks from order to installation. On the day our team takes out the old frames cleanly, installs and seals the new units, and leaves everything finished. Old frames and packaging are taken away as part of the service. Most single window or door jobs are done in a day.

Your 10 Year Guarantee

Every product we supply and fit carries a full ten year guarantee on both the materials and the workmanship. If a sealed unit fails, a frame warps, or any hardware develops a fault within ten years, we come back and fix it at no charge. All work is fully insured and carried out to current building regulations. You get written confirmation of your guarantee with every completed job, which is worth keeping for a house sale or mortgage survey.

Security Built Into Every Window And Door

Multi-point locking is fitted as standard on every window and door we install. The frames are fully welded at the corners, which creates a more rigid and stronger structure than mechanically jointed frames. All glazing is internally beaded, which means the bead holding the glass in place sits on the inside of the property. The glass cannot be removed from outside, removing one of the most common methods used to break into older double glazed properties. Toughened or laminated glass is available and fitted wherever building regulations require it.

Frame Design And Thermal Performance

Most of the conversation about double glazing energy ratings focuses on the glass unit, but the frame is responsible for a significant share of heat loss too. The uPVC profiles we use contain multiple internal chambers within the frame structure. Each chamber traps air and acts as an insulating barrier, so the frame itself contributes to the overall thermal performance rather than undermining it. Combined with an A+ rated glass unit, warm edge spacer bars, and argon gas fill, the window performs as a system. The result is a heating bill reduction of up to 40% for Edinburgh homeowners upgrading from older single or failed double glazing.

Conservation Areas And Period Properties

A number of Edinburgh's most desirable areas sit within conservation zones, including large parts of the New Town, Stockbridge, Marchmont, and Morningside. Properties in these areas may be subject to conditions on the visible appearance of replacement windows, including restrictions on frame colour, profile width, and glazing bar design. Our team is familiar with these requirements and can advise on suitable frame profiles that comply with the relevant planning conditions. We have fitted windows in conservation areas across Edinburgh and can guide you through what is and is not permitted before anything is ordered.

Sustainability And Recycled Materials

Homes account for around a quarter of all CO2 emissions in the UK, and older windows contribute directly to that through heat loss. New double glazing reduces the amount of heat your boiler needs to replace, cutting both your bills and your carbon footprint. The uPVC frames we fit are manufactured using a high proportion of recycled material, keeping waste out of landfill. uPVC is one of the most recyclable building materials available and can be reprocessed at the end of its 20 to 25 year lifespan. Fitting new double glazing is one of the most practical steps an Edinburgh homeowner can take to improve the energy efficiency of their property.

How The Process Works, Step By Step

We keep it straightforward. First we book a free survey at your home at a time that suits you. One of our team visits, measures every opening, and talks through the options with you. You then receive a written quote with a fixed price, no time pressure and no obligation. If you are happy with the quote, you confirm your order. Your windows and doors are manufactured to the exact measurements taken at survey, which takes a few weeks. We contact you to arrange the installation date. On the day our team fits everything, clears up, and takes the old frames away. That is the whole process from first call to finished job.

Most of our Edinburgh work comes through word of mouth, people who had windows or doors fitted and passed our number to a neighbour or family member. That is what happens when you price honestly and do the job properly. Call us on 0131 285 4025 to arrange your free survey.
