New Windows Gilmerton

Noticed a temperature shift in your home? Bills on the increase? Or condensation appearing on or inside your windows first thing?

If that sounds like your home, your windows are giving you a clear signal.

As windows age, they gradually lose their seal.

The gas between the panes steadily escapes, the rubber gaskets go rigid and contract, and what once held the cold out now barely holds it back.

Living in Gilmerton, you get that rain and wind can outweigh the sunny days, and worn-out windows make a proper difference to how warm and comfortable your home feels.

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

Some problems are hard to miss. Cracked glass. Rotten timber frames. Handles that won’t fasten correctly.

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

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

Once that seal breaks, the argon gas that provides insulation seeps out, and your window loses a big chunk of its thermal effectiveness.

Increasing heating prices don’t have to keep climbing. Well sealed new windows will bring back your home’s thermal efficiency and start to push those bills back down.

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

Sure, draught proofing strips can help for a short time, but they’re just a sticking plaster. The fault only worsens as the rubber keeps breaking down.

Windows that stick, won’t close right, or refuse to budge are both a security risk and an insulation issue. Warped frames, worn hinges, failed mechanisms. The window has come to the end of its useful life.

Multi-point locking systems on today’s windows offer far better security than the single-point catches used in older windows, and toughened glass options give an further layer of security.

Did you know that windows account for a large share of heat loss in any property? They’re the link between your home and the outside world.

Double glazing from the past is exactly that, in the past. The energy ratings land significantly below current offerings, even if the original specification was solid back then.

Want to guard your house from those high energy bills? New double glazed windows and doors are the way forward.

Every Gilmerton home is different, and the right window choice depends on the house, the room, and how you occupy it.

A full lineup of windows and doors, double glazed and triple glazed, is available from The Advanced Group, including uPVC casement, sash, tilt and turn, and top hung designs, all supplied and fitted by our team.

Perhaps the most widely chosen window choice in the UK, casement windows are side-hinged and open outwards, which makes them great for ventilation and easy to clean from inside.

Casement windows suit just about any property type, whether it’s a modern house or a traditional property! They come in a big range of colours and finishes, and the woodgrain effects look just like real timber without the maintenance or warping worries.

Our sliding sash windows are made to mirror the appearance of original wooden sash frames, while delivering modern standards of thermal efficiency and safety.

Proportions, sight lines, and opening mechanism all follow the traditional style. Great for conservation areas or keeping your property’s charm.

Tilt and turn windows tilt inward at the top for protected ventilation, and turn fully inward on a side hinge for simple cleaning.

If you are in an upper-floor flat, these are a fantastic option because cleaning the outside of the glass from a ladder just isn’t feasible.

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

Top hung windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, making them a practical choice for ventilation while working to keep rain out.

They are frequently used in bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, bay window arrangements, and other spaces where privacy and airflow are equally important.

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

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

The Advanced Group’s focus is uPVC frame materials, and this choice is supported by good reasons.

Scottish weather dishes out the lot at your windows. uPVC is built to withstand it, tough, resilient to harsh, windy, wet weather, and free from the warping or rot concerns that plague timber frames.

In addition, uPVC delivers the benefit of being low maintenance.

Wipe it down with soapy water. Job done. Looks good as new.

Here’s the genuinely important part: our uPVC windows are properly energy efficient! Built with multi-chambered uPVC, some of our frames achieve a U-value as low as 0.8 W/m2K, which really works to boost your home’s energy efficiency.

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

This means you can often choose premium-grade glazing without blowing the budget. We also offer glazed uPVC doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, and patio doors to coordinate.

Let’s be straight, Scotland is cold, wet, and windy for a good chunk of the year!

In that sort of weather, the energy efficiency of your windows genuinely impacts how much you spend on heating and how comfortable your home feels on a daily basis.

A window’s thermal performance is measured by something called its U-value.

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

Our standard double glazed windows deliver a U-value of 1.2 W/m2K, while our premium options can reach values as low as 0.8 W/m2K, operating at twice the standard of the regulatory minimum.

You’ll spot the difference on your energy statements.

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

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

Gilmerton has plenty of double glazing businesses. Few rival the quality of our windows and doors.

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

Triple glazing adds an extra pane of glass, which provides improved insulation and significantly improved noise reduction.

If your property is situated in an exposed location, up a hill or high above sea level, facing north, or near a busy road or under a flight path, The Advanced Group would be more than pleased to guide you through the benefits of triple glazing.

New windows are an significant spend. Paying for the lot at once? Not always feasible. We understand that.

0% APR. Up to 4 years interest free credit. That’s what we offer.

This allows you to install the windows you deserve while spreading the cost of your new windows and doors in a way that works for your budget.
