New Windows Claygate

Noticed a temperature drop in your house? Heating bills on the increase? Or condensation forming on or inside your windows when you wake up?

Ring a bell? Your windows are telling you a clear sign.

Windows don’t stay sealed forever, and older ones lose theirs over time.

The gas between the panes seeps out, the rubber gaskets go hard and pull back, and what once blocked the cold now hardly makes a difference.

In Claygate, where the rain and wind can appear more frequent than sunshine, tired windows truly impact how warm and cosy your home feels.

Not to worry. The Advanced Group offers over 38 years of trusted experience. Single room or full house, replacement windows or doors, we’ll find the right fit and install everything right.

Some problems are hard to miss. Cracked glass, rotten timber frames, handles that don’t lock correctly.

But other signs are harder to spot, and by the time you catch them, they’ve already been costing you money for months or even years.

Can you spot moisture or fogging trapped between the two sheets of glass? That means the sealed unit has broken down.

Once the seal fails, the argon gas that gives insulation escapes, and the window loses a considerable amount of its thermal performance.

Climbing heating prices don’t have to empty your wallet. Bring back your home’s thermal efficiency with properly sealed new windows.

Try placing your hand near the edges of your window on a windy day. If you notice cold air getting through, the seals have broken down.

Draught proofing strips? They’re a quick fix. The fault only deteriorates as the rubber keeps perish.

Got windows that jam, won’t close properly, or just refuse to budge? That’s a safety risk and an insulation problem rolled into one. Warped frames, worn hinges, and failed mechanisms all show you the window has reached the end of its working life.

Modern windows feature multi-point locking systems that are miles ahead of the single-point catches on older models. Factor in toughened glass, and you’ve got properly stronger protection.

Windows are responsible for a large amount of heat loss in any home. They are the barrier between you and the outside weather.

Double glazing from years ago is a thing of the past, and the energy ratings will be significantly below what’s available now, even if the spec was good when first installed.

Choosing new double glazed windows and doors is one of the most effective ways to protect your home from high energy costs.

Every Claygate home has its own character. The right window style hinges on the house, the room, and how you use it.

The Advanced Group provides and installs a full choice of windows and doors in both double glazed and triple glazed setups, including uPVC triple and double and triple glazed casement, sash, tilt and turn, and top hung styles.

Casement windows could well be the UK’s most popular window style! They’re side-hinged, open outwards, and are brilliant for ventilation and easy to clean from inside.

Casement windows work with most property types. Modern homes, traditional villas, the lot in between. On offer in a wide selection of colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects that deliver the look of timber without the maintenance or warping worry.

Our sliding sash windows replicate the look of original wooden sash frames while offering modern thermal performance and security.

The proportions, sight lines, and opening mechanism are all made to follow the traditional design, which is especially relevant if your property is in a conservation area or you wish to preserve its character.

Tilt them inward at the top for protected ventilation. Turn them fully inward on a side hinge for simple cleaning. Two functions, one window.

They’re particularly well-liked in upper-floor flats, where climbing up a ladder to clean the outside of the glass isn’t an option.

Airflow without the security risk of a fully open window. That’s what the tilt feature delivers, and it’s especially handy for families with young children.

Hinged at the top, swinging outward from the bottom. Top hung windows offer you ventilation and help hold the rain out at the very same time.

You’ll often spot them in bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, and bay window arrangements, places where both privacy and airflow are important.

French windows are full-length panels that open outward in the same way as French doors.

In pairs, they perform fantastic, and you can pair them with sidelights to flood a wide opening with glass and plenty of natural light.

The Advanced Group concentrates in uPVC frame materials for strong reasons.

Scottish weather throws all sorts at your windows. uPVC is made to withstand it, tough, resilient to harsh, windy, wet weather, and free from the warping or rot issues that plague timber frames.

And here’s another bonus: uPVC is incredibly low maintenance!

Wipe it down with soapy water. Done. It looks fresh.

Here’s the really big part: our uPVC windows are seriously energy effective! Built with multi-chambered uPVC, some of our frames hit a U-value as low as 0.8 W/m2K, which genuinely helps boost your home’s energy efficiency.

And the better bit? uPVC double glazing is also the most budget-friendly option on the market.

This allows you to often choose higher-specification glazing without blowing your budget. We also supply glazed uPVC doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, and patio doors to match.

Scotland is cold, wet, and windy for a large chunk of the year.

With that weather, your windows’ energy performance really impacts your heating costs and how comfortable your property feels every day.

The thermal efficiency of any window is measured by its U-value.

A lower U-value translates to less heat escaping through the glass and frame. Scottish building regulations currently require a maximum U-value of 1.6 W/m2K for replacement windows.

Our standard double glazed windows sit at 1.2 W/m2K, and the premium options can get down to as low as 0.8 W/m2K. That’s double glazing and triple glazing operating at twice the level of the regulatory minimum.

The difference turns up on your energy bills.

Argon gas filled sealed units and low-E glass coatings perform the real work in A-rated energy-efficient windows and doors. Heat gets pushed back in. Light still comes through.

If you’re upgrading from old single-glazed sash windows or early double glazing from the 1990s, you could see a properly significant drop in your heating costs within just the first winter!

Claygate has no shortage of double glazing firms. Few match the quality of our windows and doors.

We get asked about triple glazing all the time.

With an extra pane of glass, triple glazing delivers improved insulation and improved noise control.

If your house is in an exposed area, up a hill, facing north, or near a busy road or flight path, The Advanced Group is more than happy to talk you through the upsides of triple glazing.

New windows are an big purchase. Paying for the lot at once? Not always practical. We know that.

That’s why we have 0% APR and up to 4 years of interest free credit.

This allows you to get the windows you need while spreading the cost of your new windows and doors in a way that fits your finances.
