New Windows Kintore

Spotted a temperature change in your house? Energy costs on the increase? Or condensation appearing on or inside your windows in the morning?

That nagging feeling? It’s your windows signalling to you they’re past their best.

Over time, older windows start to lose their seal.

Between the panes, the gas escapes. The rubber gaskets go stiff and shrink. What used to kept the cold out now hardly does a thing.

In a city like Kintore, where rain and wind are frequently more frequent than sunshine, ageing windows have a clear effect on how warm and pleasant your home feels.

The Advanced Group is here to make things easier, bringing over 38 years of trusted experience. Whether you need new windows for a single room or a full house of replacement windows and doors, we’ll work with you to choose the right solution and make sure everything is installed correctly.

Cracked glass? Rotten timber frames? Handles that don’t close properly? Some issues are pretty obvious.

But then there are the quieter signs. The ones you don’t notice until they’ve already been draining you money for months, perhaps years.

Moisture or fogging between the two sheets of glass is a classic sign. The sealed unit has broken down.

When the seal goes, the argon gas that delivers insulation leaks, and the window loses a considerable amount of its thermal efficiency.

Don’t throw money away with climbing heating costs and make sure to bring back your home’s thermal efficiency with properly sealed new windows.

Here’s a quick test: put your hand near the edges of the window on a windy day. If cold air is coming through, the seals have worn out.

Draught proofing strips may help for a while, but they’re only a sticking plaster on a fault that’ll only get worse as the rubber keeps perishing.

Windows that catch, seize, or won’t lock correctly are a safety risk as well as an insulation problem. Warped frames, worn hinges, and failed mechanisms all indicate the window has reached the end of its useful life.

Multi-point locking systems on today’s windows offer significantly stronger protection than the single-point catches used in older frames, and toughened glass options give an additional layer of protection.

Did you realise that windows cause a large share of heat loss in any property? They’re the barrier between your home and the outside world.

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

Guard your home from high energy bills with new double glazed windows and doors.

Every Kintore home is different, and the right window type depends on the property, the room, and how you occupy it.

The Advanced Group supplies and fits a wide selection of windows and doors in double glazed and triple glazed options, including uPVC casement, sash, tilt and turn, and top hung styles.

Casement windows are quite possibly the most popular window type in the UK. They’re side-hinged and open outwards, making them great for ventilation and easy to clean from inside.

Casement windows work with most property kinds, from modern builds to traditional houses, and are provided in a wide choice of colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects that recreate the look of timber without the maintenance and risk of warping.

Our sliding sash windows replicate original wooden sash frames. Modern thermal performance and security are built in as standard.

The proportions, sight lines, and opening mechanism all mirror the traditional style, which matters if your property is in a conservation area or you simply want to maintain its character.

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

They’re a popular choice for upper-floor flats where cleaning the outside of the glass from a ladder isn’t realistic.

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

Top hung windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, providing a sensible solution for ventilation that also helps to keep rain out.

You’ll often find them in bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, and bay window arrangements, rooms where both privacy and airflow matter.

French windows are full-length panels that open outward, working much like French doors.

Pair them up and combine them with sidelights, and you can open up a wide opening with glass and natural light. The finish is stunning.

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

Scotland’s weather won’t play nice with your windows, and uPVC is designed to withstand it. It’s durable, resilient to rough, windy, wet weather, and unlike timber, it won’t warp the same way.

Additionally, uPVC provides the benefit of being low maintenance.

Wipe it down with soapy water. Job done. Looks fresh.

The main selling point? Energy performance. Our uPVC windows use multi-chambered uPVC, and some frames reach a U-value as low as 0.8 W/m2K. That restores genuine energy performance to your house.

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

That means you can often go for premium-grade glazing without breaking the budget. We also provide glazed uPVC doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, and patio doors to go with.

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

With that weather, your windows’ energy efficiency genuinely affects your heating bills and how comfortable your property feels daily.

Thermal efficiency is measured by U-value.

Lower figure, less heat getting out. Scottish building regulations currently demand a maximum of 1.6 W/m2K for replacement windows.

Our standard double glazed windows reach 1.2 W/m2K, and our premium products can achieve values as low as 0.8 W/m2K. That’s top-performing double glazing and triple glazing that operates twice as well as the regulatory minimum.

The difference turns up on your energy bills.

A-rated windows and doors. Argon gas filled sealed units. Low-E glass coatings. Heat pushed back in, light still coming through.

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

Plenty of double glazing firms in Kintore sell basic products, but not many can rival the calibre of the windows and doors we supply.

Triple glazing is among the most common topics our trusted installers get.

An extra pane of glass. Stronger insulation. Better noise control. That’s triple glazing.

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 glad to guide you through the advantages of triple glazing.

We know that new windows are an significant spend, and paying for them all at once isn’t always possible.

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

It means you get the windows you deserve and spread the cost of your new windows and doors in a way that suits nicely for you!
