New Windows Fairlie

If you’ve picked up on a temperature shift in your home, or seen your bills rising, or condensation forming on or inside your windows in the morning, it’s worth taking notice.

If that sounds familiar, your windows are trying to tell you something.

Over time, older windows gradually lose their seal.

The gas between the panes gradually leaks, the rubber gaskets go rigid and pull back, and what once blocked the cold out now barely makes any difference.

In Fairlie, where the rain and wind can feel more regular than sunshine, tired windows definitely affect how warm and comfortable your house feels.

But not to worry, The Advanced Group is here to help with over 38 years of trusted expertise. Whether you want new windows for a single room or a full house of replacement windows and doors, we can point you towards the right fit and get everything installed correctly.

Some faults are clear. Cracked glass, rotten timber frames, handles that don’t close as they should.

Other symptoms, though, are easier to miss, and by the time you realise, they could have been costing you money for months or even years.

Moisture or fogging between the two sheets of glass is a dead giveaway sign. The sealed unit has given up.

The seal breaks, and with it leaks the argon gas that delivered the insulation. The window loses a large degree of its thermal performance.

Don’t throw money away with increasing heating costs and make sure to bring back your home’s thermal performance with perfectly sealed new windows.

A windy day shows you everything. Hold your hand near the edges of the window. Cold air getting through means the seals have gone.

Sure, draught proofing strips can help for a while, but they’re honestly a sticking plaster. The problem only worsens as the rubber continues to perishing.

Got windows that stick, won’t lock right, or just refuse to cooperate? That’s a safety risk and an insulation issue rolled into one. Warped frames, worn hinges, and failed mechanisms all tell you the window has come to the end of its useful life.

Modern windows use multi-point locking systems that are miles ahead of the single-point catches on older frames. Add toughened glass, and you’ve got properly better safety.

Windows lose a significant proportion of your home’s heat. They’re the bridge between you and the outside elements.

Your old double glazing? It’s outdated! The energy ratings are way below what’s achievable now, even if the original specification was decent when first installed.

New double glazed windows and doors will shield your property from high energy costs.

Fairlie properties come in all shapes and sizes, and the right window type depends on your property, the room, and how you use it.

The Advanced Group offers and fits 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.

The casement window takes the title of the UK’s most widely chosen type. Side-hinged and opening outwards, they’re ideal for ventilation and a doddle to clean from inside.

Suitable for most property types, from modern homes to traditional houses, casement windows are available in a wide selection of colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects that recreate the appearance of timber without the maintenance or fear of warping.

Like the look of original wooden sash frames? Our sliding sash windows recreate that classic appearance while packing in modern thermal performance and safety.

The proportions, sight lines, and opening mechanism are all designed to match the traditional look, which is particularly relevant if your property is in a conservation area or you wish to keep its personality.

Tilt them inward at the top for safe ventilation. Turn them fully inward on a side hinge for easy cleaning. Two modes, one window.

Popular in upper-floor flats. Cleaning the outside from a ladder? Not realistic.

The tilt feature provides airflow without the safety risks that come with a fully open window, which is particularly helpful for families with young children.

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

Bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, bay window setups, anywhere privacy and airflow both are needed. That’s where top hung windows come into their own.

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

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

There are sound reasons why The Advanced Group focuses in uPVC frame materials.

Scottish weather dishes out all sorts at your windows. uPVC is made to handle it, durable, resilient to wild, windy, wet weather, and without the warping or rot worries that plague timber frames.

uPVC is low maintenance too.

Wipe it down with soapy water. That’s it. It looks brand new.

More importantly though, our uPVC windows are seriously energy effective. With multi-chambered uPVC construction, some of our frames can achieve a U-value as low as 0.8 W/m2K, working to bring back your home’s energy performance.

Better of all? uPVC double glazing is the most affordable option.

That lets you can often upgrade to higher-specification glazing without blowing the budget! We also stock glazed uPVC doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, and patio doors to coordinate.

For a good chunk of the year, Scotland’s weather is cold, wet, and windy.

In that climate, the energy rating of your windows makes a real difference to how much you pay on heating and how pleasant your property feels every day.

Thermal performance is measured by U-value.

A lower number means less heat escaping through the glass and frame. At present, Scottish building regulations demand a maximum U-value of 1.6 W/m2K for replacement windows.

Our standard double glazed windows deliver 1.2 W/m2K, and our premium models can achieve values as low as 0.8 W/m2K. That’s superior double glazing and triple glazing that works twice as well as the regulatory minimum.

The difference is reflected on your energy bills.

A-rated energy-efficient windows and doors with argon gas filled sealed units and low-E glass coatings send heat back into the room while still letting light through.

Upgrading from old single-glazed sash windows or 1990s double glazing? You’ll likely notice a real drop in heating bills within the first winter.

A number of double glazing businesses in Fairlie offer standard products, but not many can compete with the calibre of the windows and doors we fit.

Our trusted installers often get asked about our triple glazing products.

The additional pane of glass in triple glazing enables it to deliver superior insulation and improved noise dampening.

Exposed area. Up a hill. Facing north. Near a busy road or under a flight path. If any of those fits like your property, The Advanced Group is ready to talk you through the benefits of triple glazing.

New windows are an significant spend. Paying all at once isn’t always feasible. We know that.

To support with this, we have available 0% APR and up to 4 years of interest free credit.

This lets you get the windows you want by spreading the cost of your new windows and doors in a way that works for you.
