This can result in windows that do not do the job of protecting your home fully. For example, windows with worn hinges or seals are far less secure and could leave your home vulnerable to break-ins and problems associated with leaks and damp.

Popular Window Styles For Your Home
When was the last time you had new windows fitted at your home? 10 years ago? 20 years ago? Never?
Windows are available in a number of different styles. Depending on your budget and design of your property, and sometimes the age of your property, there are several popular styles you may wish to choose from.
Some window types complement your home’s aesthetic better than others. Which is your preferred style?
Sash windows are particularly popular for period properties due to their beautiful traditional style.
Casement windows offer great ventilation and offer lovely unobstructed views outside.
Bay windows help bring more light into a room, adding space and depth.
Tilt and turn windows are practical and stylish. Ideal for modern window styles.
Why Choose Double Glazing in Edinburgh
All of our double glazed windows are highly energy efficient, receiving high ratings from the BFRC. Double glazing is the number one way to ensure your home is properly insulated, plus it is very cost-effective, with estimates stating that you could save up to £100 per year on your energy bills by installing double glazed windows.
We carry out expert glazing across Edinburgh for both domestic and commercial clients, receiving five-star reviews for our great service..
How Much Does Double Glazing Cost?
The cost of our double glazed units vary depending on several factors. First, the type of glass that is used. Windows using energy efficient glazing will be slightly more expensive than those using cheaper, less energy efficient glass. Second, if gases are used in the glazing, as opposed to air, the window units will be more expensive. Double glazing that has a higher energy efficiency rating is likely to be more expensive. However, this should always be weighed up against the cost saved in the long-term with regards to reduced energy bills and windows that last longer.
The size of the windows must also be taken into consideration. For instance, replacement double glazing for a bay window will be more expensive than a simple bedroom window.
The shape of the window can also be a factor. Our team can cut glass to size so even if you have unusually shaped windows you’d like new glass for, we can cater for bespoke window shapes and sizes.

Choose The Right Windows in Edinburgh To Suit Your Property
Whether you own a period or contemporary property in Edinburgh, having the right windows can make a big impact. Likewise, ordering the wrong type of windows for your home, without doing the proper research, can result in a mistake that is rather costly to rectify.
At Edinburgh Glass & Glazing, we can provide you with a number of options to suit your preference. Whether you’re interested in having traditional casement windows at your property, sash windows or something more modern, such as tilt-and-turn or reversible windows, we have a number of styles for your to choose from.
Other aspects to consider are the types of frame and whether you want double glazed windows or you’re budget can stretch to the more expensive triple glazed windows.
New windows aren’t only an investment to keep your home secure, but also to improve energy efficiency of your property. Replacement windows should have an energy efficiency rating from the British Fenestration Council (BFC) to determine how efficient they are. Windows with lower energy efficiency ratings will undoubtedly be cheaper. However, those with higher ratings are more likely to save you money on energy bills, so might be better value for money long term. By minimising heat loss and draughts, and offering improved insulation over older units, our windows can help to keep your property warm during the colder months.
Select The Right Material For The Window Frame
The two most common materials for windows these days are timber and uPVC, both of which have their own benefits. Timber is a reliable material that gives a property a more classic look. This often lends itself to period properties, helping them keep their antique style. However, timber windows do require ongoing maintenance to prevent rot and water damage. It is therefore important to choose timber that is more durable and can hold up in a wetter climate.
uPVC windows, on the other hand, require little to no maintenance and no painting, unlike timber windows. They boast great insulation properties and represent good value for money. Our uPVC windows are available in a wide variety of styles and colours. They are also environmentally friendly, as most uPVC windows can be recycled and are made from recycled material. The only downside to using uPVC windows is that they can sometimes lessen the value of period properties as they do not fit in with the classic architecture in the way that timber windows do.

When To Upgrade To New Windows
If you have had your windows for some time, you may be wondering if they need replacing. Below are a few reasons which may signify why you need new windows in Edinburgh at your property.
Damaged Timber Windows
Timber windows can become water damaged or break down over time, especially if they are not cared for properly. If the wooden frame is soft or is falling to pieces, this is a sign to consider replacing your windows with new, durable frames.
Misted Glass
If your double glazed windows are misty, you might need to replace them as this usually means that the seal has broken, allowing condensation to seep through the gap in the panes. In most cases, you will only need to replace the glass, but one of our window experts can advise whether the frame will also need to be replaced.
Windows Not Functioning Correctly
If you struggle to open or close your windows, this may be a sign that they need replacing. Your windows should not require excessive levels of force to operate. With timber windows especially, they may have become swollen shut. Your windows should open and close smoothly. If this is not the case, it may be time to replace.
Increased Draughts
Your windows may need replacing if you notice draughts around the window area. Older windows that have failed or deteriorated over a period of time often result in draughty units. This can cause heat loss, meaning your windows aren’t efficient as they once were and it may cost you more to heat your home and maintain a warmer temperature in the room as a result.
If you suspect your windows are the cause of draughts in the home, request a visit from one of window installers today who’ll be able to check and inspect the windows to see if they need replacing.
