New Windows Fernhill

Spotted a temperature drop in your house? Heating bills on the up? Or condensation appearing on or inside your windows first thing?

If that sounds like your situation, your windows are giving you a sign.

Over time, older windows gradually lose their seal.

The gas between the panes gradually escapes, the rubber gaskets harden and shrink, and what once blocked the cold out now barely holds it back.

In Fernhill, where the rain and wind can feel more common than sunshine, ageing windows really affect how warm and cosy your home feels.

But don’t worry, The Advanced Group is here to help with more than 38 years of trusted experience. Whether it’s new windows for one room or a complete house of replacement windows and doors, we’ll help you find the right option and get everything installed correctly.

Some problems are clear. Cracked glass, rotten timber frames, handles that don’t close properly.

Other signs are harder to notice. By the time you realise, they’ve been costing you money for months or years.

If you notice moisture or fogging between the two panes of glass, this is a sure sign that the sealed unit has failed.

When the seal fails, the argon gas that delivers insulation seeps out, and the window loses a considerable chunk of its thermal performance.

Why throw money away on rising heating bills? Recover your home’s thermal efficiency with perfectly sealed new windows today.

On a windy day, place your hand near the edges of the window. If you can feel cold air coming through, this means the seals have broken down.

Draught proofing strips offer a short-term measure, but they’re just a sticking plaster on a problem that will only worsen as the rubber continues to perish.

If your windows jam, won’t lock properly, or are difficult to open, this poses both a safety risk and an insulation concern. Warped frames, worn hinges, and failed mechanisms are all signs that the window has reached the end of its useful life.

Multi-point locking systems on modern windows provide far better security than the single-point catches fitted to older models, and toughened glass options provide an extra layer of safety.

Windows let out a considerable share of your home’s heat. They’re the bridge between you and the outside world.

Older double glazing is a thing of the past, and the energy ratings will be significantly below what’s on offer now, even if they were a good specification when they were first installed.

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

Every Fernhill home has its own feel. The right window type depends on the property, the room, and how you live in it.

The Advanced Group stocks and installs a full choice of windows and doors in double glazed and triple glazed options, including uPVC casement, sash, tilt and turn, and top hung designs.

Casement windows are probably the most widely chosen window type in the UK. They’re side-hinged and open outwards, making them great for ventilation and straightforward to clean from inside.

Suitable for most property styles, from modern houses to traditional properties, casement windows are offered in a wide range of colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects that recreate the appearance of timber without the maintenance or risk of warping.

The sliding sash windows we install recreate the style of original wooden sash frames, while delivering modern thermal performance and safety.

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

These windows tilt inward at the top for secure ventilation and turn fully inward on a side hinge for effortless cleaning.

For homeowners in upper-floor flats, tilt and turn windows are a popular choice, as cleaning the outside of the glass from a ladder isn’t realistic.

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

Top hung windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. This makes them a sensible choice for ventilation while helping to hold rain out.

Commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, and bay window setups. Every space where privacy and airflow both are important.

French windows are full-length windows that open outward like French doors.

Paired together, they perform brilliantly and can be paired with sidelights to open up a wide opening with glass and natural light.

We specialise in uPVC frame materials. And for solid reason.

Scottish weather is unforgiving, and uPVC is built to be durable and resistant to wild, windy, and wet weather. Unlike timber frames, uPVC won’t have the same warping or rot concerns.

Low maintenance is built in as standard with uPVC.

Just a quick wipe with soapy water and it can look brand new!

Energy performance is where our uPVC windows really shine. Multi-chambered uPVC construction, U-values as low as 0.8 W/m2K on some frames, and a real difference to the energy efficiency of your property.

Best of all? uPVC double glazing is the most cost-effective option.

That means you can often choose higher-specification glazing without stretching the budget. We also provide glazed uPVC doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, and patio doors to go with.

Scotland gives cold, wet, and windy weather for a fair part of the year.

In that kind of weather, the energy rating of your windows really impacts how much you pay on heating and how cosy your home feels every day.

U-value. That’s the measurement that tells you how well-insulated a window really is.

The lower that value, the less heat escapes through your glass and frame. Scottish building regulations currently cap it at a maximum U-value of 1.6 W/m2K for replacement windows.

Standard double glazed windows: 1.2 W/m2K. Premium range: as low as 0.8 W/m2K. That’s twice as efficient as the regulatory minimum.

The difference appears on your energy costs.

A-rated energy-efficient windows and doors with argon gas filled sealed units and low-E glass coatings are brilliant at bouncing heat back into the room while still allowing lots of light through.

Old single-glazed sash windows or 1990s double glazing? Replace them, and you could see a real drop in heating costs before the first winter is out.

Fernhill has a good number of double glazing firms. Few match the calibre of our windows and doors.

Our experienced installers love chatting about triple glazing, and it’s a topic that comes up a lot!

An extra pane of glass. Improved insulation. Greater noise reduction. That’s triple glazing.

If your property is sitting in an exposed spot, up a hill, facing north, or near a busy road or under a flight path, get in touch! The Advanced Group would be more than happy to talk you through the benefits of triple glazing.

We totally appreciate that new windows are an big purchase, and paying for everything at once isn’t always practical.

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

This allows you get the windows you want by spreading the cost of your new windows and doors in a way that fits with your finances.
