Double Glazing
in Castle Douglas,
warm through a Galloway winter.

Yes. The whole of DG7 is covered, from the grid of streets in the town out to Crossmichael, Haugh of Urr, Springholm, Kirkpatrick Durham, Laurieston and Parton, and across to Dalbeattie and Kirkcudbright. A surveyor comes to the house, there is nothing to pay for the visit or the journey, and the quote that follows leaves the decision entirely with you.

It depends on the number of openings, the styles you settle on, the finish of the frames and the glass you choose. A cottage with four small windows is a world away from a three storey house on King Street. The survey is free, the quote is clear and it comes with no obligation attached. Various deposit options are available.

A cloudy or misted pane means the seal round the sealed unit has failed and moisture has got between the panes, so the insulating gas has gone with it. Sometimes the unit alone can be changed if the frame and the hardware are still sound. Where the frames are twenty-odd years old and stiff or draughty as well, replacing the window outright usually makes better sense, and the surveyor will tell you which case yours is.

It changes what matters most. Damp air and mild wet spells put the emphasis on tight seals, good drainage through the frame and warm glass edges rather than on extreme insulation. uPVC will not soak, swell or rot in that climate, and a timber-effect finish gives you the look of painted wood without a brush ever going near it.

They can. Upper flats on the main streets usually have tall openings that were built for vertical sliders, and sliding sash windows replace them without changing the proportions of the frontage. Access is planned with you beforehand so the close, the stair and the pavement below stay clear while the work is on.

It can mean the council wants a say in the style, the material and the way the window opens, and listed buildings have tighter rules again. Check with Dumfries and Galloway Council before you order anything, and we will supply the product details and drawings they ask to see. Our sash and flush casement ranges are designed for exactly this kind of property.

Nearly always, yes. Astragal and Georgian bar layouts can be built into the new windows so the pattern across the front of the house carries on as it was. The surveyor will photograph and measure what is there now, and you can see the bar options and their widths at the visit.

Reckon on roughly 5 to 7 weeks between approving the order and the fitting day, because every frame is made to the sizes taken at your survey. The fitting is the short part, at 1 to 3 working days for most houses, and the old frames and glass are lifted out and taken away.

Where trickle ventilation is required, it is built into the frames. All workmanship is guaranteed, covering the frames, the sealed units, the hardware and the seals.
