Double Glazed Window Styles for your Edinburgh glass
No matter the style, all of our double glazing products come with the same level of thermal efficiency and security.
Tilt and Turn Windows
Tilt and turn windows are a window style that have two modes of function, their namesake. They tilt or turn inwards, allowing for cleaning and maintenance, as well as wide ventilation. Highly energy efficient and convenient, you can have access to both sides of your window from the inside.
These windows are built for maximum convenience and flexibility, and paired with our double glazed windows, you will experience the best air quality and thermal performance combination that modern windows have to offer.
Bay Windows
Bay windows are a traditional style, situated in a “bay” that consists of three or more panels. The outward projection of this design is well-loved for its ability to pull in more natural light from several angles. It not only makes the room feel more spacious and less cramped, but it also provides a field of view from different angles.
Sash Windows
Sash windows have a vertical sliding mechanism, allowing the user to open the windows with ease. They offer great ventilation and have a few different styles, such as single-hung and double-hung.

Casement windows
Casement windows are hinged windows that swing outward, providing a full window opening. These types of windows are ideal for rooms where ventilation are of paramount importance, or rooms that offer a good view of the outside, due to casement windows’ ability to provide unobstructed views of the outside.

Can your double glazing windows increase property value?
Yes, they can, depending on what they are replacing. Our A++ Double Glazing Edinburgh glass and glazing have been proven to do the following:
- Energy bills reduction – The energy efficiency of your home will increase, meaning that you will lose less of the heat that you generate. This is a highly sought after trait on the property market, as it effectively promises lower running costs over time. Your energy efficient windows and doors will be considered assets, and their investment pays you back not only in lower energy bills, but possibly higher property value.
- Noise reduction – Lowered noise pollution directly correlates with higher comfort. Comfort is a huge concern in big cities like Edinburgh, making them highly attractive on the property market.
- EPC rating – Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a measure of quality for the energy efficiency of a building, and is rated between A – G (A being the most efficient). Ever since the 2021 energy crisis, EPC has gained a lot more respect and integrity, and property values tend to rise per grade. One double glazing unit may not be enough to push it up a grade, but several most certainly will – and they are the cheapest home improvement options capable of this feat.
Does double glazing lower your carbon footprint?
Yes. Overall, maximising energy efficiency also means minimising the amount carbon being emitted into the atmosphere, via the following mechanisms:
The national grid and gas pipelines deliver energy to your house after combusting fossil fuels, which is what contributes to climate change. By using less energy, you thereby burn less fossil fuel.
Should I replace or repair my Edinburgh windows?
This entirely depends on the age and quality of the original windows. As we’ve mentioned, many standards for older windows and doors are inefficient in comparison to today’s. In many cases, we find that perfectly strong, beautiful windows that have very poor thermal efficiency, and drain homes of their expensive heat. The sooner you have these windows replaced, the quicker you can enjoy a warmer, cheaper home.
That being said, if your windows are single glazed, understand that new windows with double glazing are far, far superior. A double-glazed window can reduce heat loss by up to 75% in comparison, saving you triple digits in energy bills.
In short, you should only ever consider a repair if you’re repairing newer, high quality windows that boast high efficiency.
The definitive way to find out if you’re in need of new windows is through our free survey. Our survey will encompass the windows of your entire home, and our expert window installers will be able to determine just how in need of a repair or replacement your windows are.
Do you need building regulations approval to install double glazing windows?
Yes, you, or your contractor, will require approval. Building regulations are a set of mandatory guidelines set by the UK government under the ministry of housing, communities and local government. This is surrounding the design and construction of buildings, ensuring safety, energy efficiency and accessibility. All new and replacement windows are bound by this act, more specifically the Kyoto Protocol of 1997.
The following:
- Competent Person Scheme: If you use a contractor registered under a competent person scheme (like FENSA or CERTASS), you don’t need to apply separately for building regulations approval. Of course, ProGlaze Group has exactly this, meaning there is no work required on your part as far as seeking approval is concerned.
- Direct Approval: If you use a non-registered installer or do it yourself, you must apply to your local Building Control to check and approve the installation.
- Thermal Efficiency: To meet energy efficiency standards, the windows must meet minimum U-value requirements (typically 1.4 W/m²K or lower).
- Safety and Ventilation: Certain windows, particularly those in high-risk areas such as near stairs, may need to be toughened glass, and ventilation regulations need to be met through trickle vents or other means.
What is the best material for double glazing windows in Edinburgh?
There is no “best” material for windows in general, only best window for locale and situation. But from what we’ve seen of our customers’ choices in windows, Edinburgh residents tend to opt for new uPVC windows.
uPVC windows are some of the most suitable in terms of both style and function for the city of Edinburgh. This is due to their natural resistance against weathering, particularly against Edinburgh’s heavy rainfall. They do not warp, they do not rot, and they offer fantastic thermal insulation.
