Frequently asked questions

Is triple glazing worth the upgrade in Fairmilehead?
On a heat-pump-paired project yes — triple glazing brings U-values to 0.7-0.9 W/m²K, well within heat-pump heat-loss targets. Standalone, A++ double glazing is usually better value.
Can I add a bifold opening when re-windowing?
Yes — typical 3m bifold opening £4,500-£6,500 fitted including steel lintel, building warrant application and reveal-making good. Bundles efficiently with a full re-window for ~10% cost saving.
What's the realistic lead time for a Fairmilehead project?
2-3 weeks survey to deposit, 3-4 weeks manufacture lead-in, 4-5 days on site. Total 8 weeks instruction to completion. Bifolds add 2 weeks to lead-in.
Will new windows hurt my heat pump's performance?
No — they help. Modern A-rated double or triple glazing reduces fabric heat loss, which is what heat pumps need. We coordinate with our heat-pump partner if you're scoping both together.
