Double Glazing
in Carnoustie,
facing the North Sea.

Yes. All of DD7 is covered, from the town centre and the streets by the links out to Carlogie, Balmachie, Pitskelly, Newton and Upper Victoria, and on to Panbride, East Haven, Barry and Muirdrum. A surveyor comes to the house, the visit and the travel cost nothing, and the quote that follows is yours to accept or ignore.

It depends on how many openings you are replacing, which styles you want, the frame finish and the glass. A seafront bungalow with five windows is not the same job as a villa with sashes on two floors. The survey is free, the quote is clear and there is no obligation attached. Various deposit options are available.

It is hard on anything painted and hard on anything that corrodes. uPVC has no paint film to lift and nothing in it to rot, so a salt-laden wind does not shorten its life, and a timber-effect finish gives you the appearance of wood without the annual repaint. The glass itself is unaffected, though you will wash it more often than folk living inland.

That is largely down to how the window is fitted. The frame is packed and sealed into the opening, drainage channels in the frame are kept clear, and the outside joint is sealed against the stone or render. Old windows usually leak because the gaskets have hardened and the drainage has blocked, not because the glass is at fault.

They can. Sliding sash windows keep the vertical opening and the proportions of the frontage, and astragal bars can be matched to the pattern already there. If the house is listed or lies within a conservation area, check with Angus Council before ordering and we will supply whatever product details they want to see.

They usually cut it right back. Condensation gathers on the coldest surface in the room, and on an old unit that is the metal spacer round the edge of the glass. A warm-edge spacer, a Low-E coating and argon between the panes keep the inner surface warmer, so much less water forms. Trickle vents are fitted where the regulations call for them to let damp air out.

Yes. The fitting date is agreed with you rather than set for you, so owners who let out property here normally choose a gap between bookings. Most houses are complete within 1 to 3 working days, floors and furniture are covered while the fitters are in, and nothing is left open overnight.

It can, particularly in a front bedroom. New sealed units with sound gaskets cut a lot of it on their own, and where a room needs more, acoustic glass uses thicker laminated panes to reduce what comes through. It is usually worth specifying for the affected room rather than the whole house.

Roughly 5 to 7 weeks between signing the order off and the fitters arriving, because every frame is made to your measurements. The fitting is the quick part at 1 to 3 working days for most houses, and the old frames and glass are taken away with them.
