New Windows Rattray

Perhaps you’ve picked up on a change in temperature in your house. Bills creeping up. Or condensation forming on or inside your windows in the morning.

Does that hit home? Your windows are telling you it’s time for a change.

Windows don’t keep their seal indefinitely, and older ones lose theirs over time.

The gas between the panes escapes out, the rubber gaskets go hard and pull back, and what used to kept the cold now scarcely does anything.

In a place like Rattray, where rain and wind are sometimes more regular than sunshine, tired windows have a noticeable effect on how warm and comfortable your house feels.

However not to worry, The Advanced Group is here to assist with over 38 years of trusted expertise. Whether you require new windows for a single room or a full house of replacement windows and doors, we can guide you to the right solution and get everything fitted correctly.

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

Other symptoms, however, are easier to miss, and by the time you notice, 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.

When the seal goes, the argon gas that provides insulation escapes, and the window loses a big portion of its thermal efficiency.

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

Try 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 broken down.

Draught proofing strips can help in the short term, but they’re a sticking plaster on a issue that will only worsen as the rubber continues to break down.

A window that catches, won’t close right, or refuses to open is more than an annoyance. It’s a safety risk and an insulation issue. Warped frames, worn hinges, and failed mechanisms are the window’s way of telling you it’s done.

The single-point catches on older windows can’t compare with the multi-point locking systems on modern ones. Factor in toughened glass, and your house gains a real safety improvement.

Windows account for a large share of heat loss in any house. Your window is the boundary between you and the outside elements.

Double glazing from years ago is old news, and the energy ratings will be significantly below what’s on offer now, even if the specification was reasonable at the time.

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

Rattray homes vary across all forms, and the right window style depends on your building, the room, and how you occupy it.

A full selection of windows and doors, double glazed and triple glazed, is ready from The Advanced Group, including uPVC casement, sash, tilt and turn, and top hung designs, all provided and installed by our team.

As quite possibly the most popular window type in the UK, casement windows are side-hinged and open outwards, offering good ventilation and simple cleaning from inside.

Casement windows work with most property styles. Modern builds, traditional properties, the lot in between. Available in a wide choice of colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects that deliver the look of timber without the maintenance or warping risk.

Our sliding sash windows mirror the look of original wooden sash frames while delivering modern thermal efficiency and protection.

The proportions, sight lines, and opening mechanism all follow the traditional look, which matters if your property is in a conservation area or you simply want to preserve its personality.

Tilt inward at the top for secure ventilation. Turn fully inward on a side hinge for quick cleaning.

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

The tilt function provides airflow without safety worries. Particularly useful for families with young children.

Top hung windows open outward from the bottom while being hinged at the top, which is brilliant for letting air in without allowing rain through.

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

Think of them as full-length windows that open outward, exactly like French doors. That’s French windows in a nutshell.

They perform well in pairs and can be paired with sidelights to open up a wide opening with glass and natural light.

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

uPVC frame materials are particularly well suited to the tough Scottish climate, delivering durability and resistance to rough, windy, and wet weather. Unlike timber frames, uPVC won’t suffer from the same warping or rot issues.

And there’s another benefit: uPVC is really low maintenance!

Soapy water and a quick wipe down. That’s all it takes to get uPVC looking fresh.

But more to the point, our uPVC windows are extremely energy performant. Engineered with multi-chambered uPVC, some of our frames can reach a U-value as low as 0.8 W/m2K, helping bring back energy efficiency to your house.

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

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

Scotland dishes out cold, wet, and windy weather for a good portion of the year.

With weather like that, the energy performance of your windows makes a real difference to what you shell out on heating and how warm your home feels from day to day!

The thermal performance of a window is determined by its 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 range can go as low as 0.8 W/m2K! That’s double glazing and triple glazing performing at twice the regulatory minimum!

You’ll see the difference on your energy costs.

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

If you are replacing from old single-glazed sash windows or early double glazing from the 1990s, you could experience a clear drop in your heating costs within the first winter.

A number of double glazing firms in Rattray sell entry-level products, but not many can rival the standard of the windows and doors we provide.

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

The additional pane of glass in triple glazing allows it to offer improved insulation and better noise dampening.

If your property is perched in an exposed location, up a hill, facing north, or near a busy road or under a flight path, give us a shout! The Advanced Group would be more than glad to walk you through the upsides of triple glazing.

We appreciate that new windows are an significant spend, and 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 enables you to install the windows you want while spreading the cost of your new windows and doors in a way that fits your circumstances.
