Windows & Doors Edinburgh

Heatscape installs double glazing, triple glazing, composite doors and uPVC doors across Edinburgh and Central Scotland with a Fixed Price, No Hidden Extras promise. Every survey checks heat loss, security, ventilation, conservation-area requirements and the style of the existing property before a quote is issued.

Double glazing, triple glazing and doors

Our window and door range covers A+ rated uPVC and aluminium double glazing, premium triple glazing with U-values as low as 0.6 W/m²K, high-security composite front doors and affordable uPVC rear or side doors. Installations are measured to suit Edinburgh flats, Victorian terraces, stone villas, coastal homes and modern estates.

Planning, conservation and ventilation checks

Before ordering, we check frame condition, reveal depth, trickle ventilation, escape-window requirements, threshold height, colour match and any listed-building or conservation-area constraints. This helps keep period homes characterful while improving warmth, noise reduction and draught protection.

How much heat and noise can new glazing save?

Replacing single glazing with modern double glazing typically cuts window heat loss by 50–70%, while triple glazing can reduce heat loss by 85–90% where the frame, spacer bar and seals are specified correctly. Double glazing usually reduces outside noise by 25–35dB; triple glazing can reach 35–40dB, which is useful for homes near bus routes, main roads and exposed coastal streets.

Interior glass temperature is another comfort gain. Single glazing can sit at 5–8°C in winter, causing condensation and cold downdraughts. Good double glazing lifts the inner pane to around 14–16°C, while triple glazing can reach 17–19°C, making rooms feel warmer at the same thermostat setting.

What happens during installation?

We complete a room-by-room survey, confirm opening sizes, check ventilation and discuss finishes before units are ordered. On fitting day the team protects floors and furnishings, removes old frames carefully, fits the new frames square and plumb, seals inside and outside, checks locks and handles, then walks the finished installation with you before sign-off.

Frequently asked questions

How much does double glazing cost in Edinburgh?
Double glazing for a full Edinburgh home typically costs £3,000–£7,000 depending on the number and size of windows, frame material and whether heritage-style detailing is needed.
Is triple glazing worth it in Edinburgh?
Triple glazing is worthwhile for north-facing rooms, exposed properties, colder homes and locations where noise reduction matters. It costs more than double glazing but provides stronger thermal comfort and lower condensation risk.
Do I need planning permission for new windows?
Most like-for-like replacement windows do not need planning permission, but listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent. We check this before recommending a specification.
Are composite doors better than uPVC doors?
Composite doors are generally stronger, more secure and better insulated for front entrances. uPVC doors are more affordable, low maintenance and well suited to rear, side and utility entrances.
