Services
UPVC Windows
Our A-rated UPVC windows combine energy efficiency with security, featuring steel-reinforced frames and multi-chambered profiles. Available in white or woodgrain finishes with optional tilt-and-turn or reversible mechanisms, these windows provide excellent thermal performance and low maintenance. Customisable with decorative glass and ironmongery options, they suit both modern and traditional properties while offering up to 12-year product guarantees.
Timber Windows
Crafted from sustainably sourced redwood and engineered timber, our sash and casement windows preserve Edinburgh's architectural heritage. Featuring draught-proofing systems and optional simplex hinges, these windows maintain traditional aesthetics while improving energy efficiency. Factory-painted or natural finishes available with bespoke ironmongery choices, ensuring durability and compatibility with conservation area requirements.
Aluminium Windows
Slimline aluminium windows offer contemporary design with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. Thermally broken frames and marine-grade powder coating ensure durability and energy efficiency, while large glass areas maximise natural light. Available in any RAL colour with dual-tone options, these windows meet modern architectural demands while providing high security and low maintenance performance.
Secondary Glazing
Our secondary glazing systems improve thermal efficiency and noise reduction in existing windows. Available in UPVC, hardwood, or aluminium with various opening styles, these solutions preserve original window structures while achieving A-rated energy performance. Ideal for listed buildings and conservation areas requiring non-invasive upgrades.
Draught Proofing
Specialist draught proofing for sash windows reduces heat loss by up to 40% through brush seals and compression weatherstripping. This cost-effective solution maintains original window functionality while improving energy efficiency, with payback periods of 4-5 years.
