New Windows Scone

You’ve spotted the temperature changing in your home. Bills are up. Condensation forms on or inside your windows each morning.

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

Over time, older windows begin to lose their seal.

Gas leaks from between the panes. The rubber gaskets go rigid and pull away. What once did stop the cold now barely registers.

In a city like Scone, where rain and wind are sometimes more common than sunshine, worn windows have a clear impact on how warm and cosy your house feels.

But there’s no need to worry, The Advanced Group is here to help with more than 38 years of trusted service. Whether it’s new windows for one room or a full house of replacement windows and doors, we’ll find you the right solution and get everything installed the right way.

Some issues are straightforward, such as cracked glass, rotten timber frames, and handles that don’t fasten correctly.

But other issues are easier to miss, and by the time you catch them, they’ve probably already been losing you money for months, maybe even years.

Moisture or fogging between the two sheets of glass is a tell-tale sign. The sealed unit has given up.

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

Don’t let rising heating costs drain your budget. Recover your home’s thermal efficiency by fitting perfectly sealed new windows.

Try a quick test: hold 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 give a short-term measure, but they’re really a sticking plaster on a issue that will only deteriorate as the rubber continues to degrade.

Seizing windows that won’t close right aren’t just annoying, they’re a safety risk and an insulation problem too. Warped frames, worn hinges, and failed mechanisms all suggest a window that’s reached the end of its useful life.

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

Did you realise that windows are behind a considerable amount of heat loss in any house? They’re the link between your home and the outside world.

Old double glazing doesn’t keep up. The energy ratings are well below what’s possible now, even if the original spec was good at the time.

Want to guard your home from those high energy costs? New double glazed windows and doors are the solution.

Every property in Scone is different. The right window choice depends on the property, the room, and how you occupy it.

The Advanced Group supplies and fits a full selection of windows and doors in both double glazed and triple glazed configurations, including uPVC triple and double and triple glazed casement, sash, tilt and turn, and top hung designs.

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

They fit most kinds of property, from modern homes to traditional properties, and come in a wide choice of colours and finishes. Woodgrain effects replicate the look of timber without the maintenance or worry of warping.

Our sliding sash windows mirror original wooden sash frames. Modern thermal efficiency and protection are included as standard.

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

These windows offer two modes: tilting inward at the top for secure ventilation, and turning completely inward on a side hinge for easy cleaning.

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

The tilt mode provides airflow without the safety concerns that come with a fully open window, which is especially 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 helping to keep rain out.

They are commonly chosen in bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, bay window setups, and other spaces where privacy and airflow are both needed.

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

Great in pairs. Combine them with sidelights to fill a wide opening with glass and natural light.

The Advanced Group’s speciality is uPVC frame materials, and this decision is backed by sound reasons.

uPVC frame materials are especially well suited to the harsh Scottish climate, offering hardwearing performance and resilience to wild, windy, and wet weather. Unlike timber frames, uPVC won’t present the same warping or rot issues.

What’s more, uPVC is incredibly low maintenance.

Soapy water and a quick wipe down. That’s all it needs to keep uPVC looking brand new.

Perhaps most importantly, our uPVC windows deliver strong levels of energy performance. Designed with multi-chambered uPVC, some of our frames reach a U-value as low as 0.8 W/m2K, working to improve energy performance across your property.

And you want to hear the best bit? uPVC double glazing is also the most cost-effective option available!

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

Scotland’s weather is cold, wet, and windy for a good chunk of the year.

In that climate, the energy performance of your windows makes a genuine difference to how much you spend on heating and how warm your property feels on a daily basis.

The thermal efficiency of a window is measured by its U-value.

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 reach 1.2 W/m2K, and our premium products can reach 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.

That performance gain is visually shown on your energy bills.

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

Switching from old single-glazed sash windows or 1990s double glazing? Expect a clear drop in heating spend within the first winter.

Many double glazing firms in Scone supply entry-level products, but few can compete with the quality 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 greater noise control.

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

New windows are an significant spend. Paying all at once isn’t always feasible. We understand that.

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

It means you can get the windows you want through helping you spread the cost of your new windows and doors in a way that works for you.
