New Windows Old Town

Perhaps you’ve spotted a change in temperature in your home. Heating bills going up. Or condensation forming on or inside your windows in the morning.

If that sounds familiar, your windows are telling you a signal.

Old windows lose their seal as the years pass.

That gas between the panes? It leaks out. The rubber gaskets harden and pull away. And what once kept keep the cold out barely does the job.

In a place like Old Town, where rain and wind are often more regular than sunshine, worn windows have a noticeable effect on how warm and cosy your home feels.

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

Some faults are obvious. Cracked glass. Rotten timber frames. Handles that won’t fasten properly.

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

If you can see moisture or fogging between the two sheets of glass, this is a strong sign that the sealed unit has broken down.

The seal fails. The argon gas escapes out. The window loses a major amount of its thermal efficiency.

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

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

Draught proofing strips provide a temporary fix, but they’re just a sticking plaster on a fault that will only deteriorate as the rubber keeps degrade.

Got windows that seize, won’t fasten right, or just refuse to play along? That’s a security 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 useful life.

Multi-point locking systems on modern windows are much more protective than the single-point catches on older windows, and options like toughened glass give additional protection.

Your windows are where a large proportion of your home’s heat is lost. That thin barrier between you and the outside world counts more than most people think.

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

Guard your home from expensive energy costs. New double glazed windows and doors create the difference.

Every Old Town property is different, and the right window choice depends on the building, the room, and how you live in 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.

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

Ideal for most property kinds, from modern houses to traditional houses, casement windows are available in a wide selection of colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects that replicate the appearance of timber without the maintenance or risk of warping.

Want the appearance of original wooden sash frames? Our sliding sash windows mirror that original style while delivering modern thermal performance and protection.

Every proportion, sight line, and opening mechanism mirrors the traditional design. Whether your property is in a conservation area or you simply want to keep its personality, these windows do the job.

Tilt inward at the top for safe ventilation. Turn completely inward on a side hinge for quick cleaning.

Upper-floor flat? Cleaning outside glass from a ladder isn’t feasible. Tilt and turn windows fix that challenge completely.

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 smart choice for ventilation while working to keep rain out.

You’ll often spot them in bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, and bay window configurations, rooms where both privacy and airflow count.

Full-length windows that open outward like French doors. That’s exactly what French windows deliver.

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

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

uPVC frame materials are particularly well suited to the tough Scottish climate, providing hardwearing performance and resilience to wild, windy, and wet weather. Unlike timber frames, uPVC won’t present the same warping or rot concerns.

uPVC is low maintenance too.

Just give it a wipe with soapy water and it’ll look brand new.

Energy efficiency is where our uPVC windows genuinely stand out. Multi-chambered uPVC construction, U-values as low as 0.8 W/m2K on some frames, and a proper improvement to the energy performance of your home.

And the best bit? uPVC double glazing happens to be the most budget-friendly option available.

So you can often fit higher-specification glazing and still stay within budget. We provide glazed uPVC doors too, including uPVC doors, composite doors, and patio doors to complement.

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

With a climate like that, the energy performance of your windows makes a genuine difference to what you spend on heating and how pleasant your house feels every day!

Ever heard of U-values? That’s how the thermal efficiency of any window is measured.

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

Our standard double glazed windows achieve 1.2 W/m2K, and our premium range can reach 0.8 W/m2K! That’s double glazing and triple glazing performing at twice 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.

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

While many double glazing businesses in Old Town offer basic products, few can compare with the calibre of the windows and doors we provide.

We get asked about triple glazing all the time.

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

Exposed spot? Up a hill? Facing north? Near a busy road or flight path? The Advanced Group will walk you through the benefits of triple glazing.

New windows are an significant purchase, and we appreciate that paying for them all at once isn’t always practical.

To help with this, we have available 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.
