Double Glazing
Our double glazing units, manufactured by Pilkington, combine low-e glass and argon gas to maximise thermal efficiency. Designed to reduce heat loss and noise pollution, they enhance home comfort while lowering energy bills. Ideal for Glasgow's climate, these units meet BS7412 standards for durability and performance.
UPVC Windows
Custom UPVC windows offer security, minimal maintenance, and aesthetic flexibility. Available in white, green, or wood-effect finishes, they comply with Secured by Design standards. Their recyclable material ensures sustainability without compromising on style or functionality for residential properties.
Composite Doors
Composite doors merge durability with visual appeal, featuring reinforced frames and advanced locking systems. Tested to BSI security standards, they provide enhanced protection against forced entry. Customisable designs ensure seamless integration with traditional or modern Glasgow homes.
Energy Efficient Windows
A-rated windows utilise Pilkington energiKare technology to achieve superior thermal performance. These units reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to older double glazing, qualifying for Window Energy Ratings Scheme certifications. Perfect for eco-conscious homeowners seeking cost savings.

Sash windows replicate traditional timber aesthetics with modern UPVC durability. Their tilt-and-turn mechanism allows safe ventilation while maintaining security. Tested for weather resistance, they suit period properties in Glasgow requiring both style and functionality.
